We’re launching a new campaign to organize against proposed DHS warehouses across the country. To kick things off, we’re joining a national day of action on April 25 to oppose Trump’s mass detention agenda. If you’re ready to be part of this fight, we hope you will join our first training call.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

Just to be clear, every YA author and publishing professional worth their salt hates this condescending bullshit.

Attacking trans people was unacceptable 10 years ago. It's been a concerted effort and a ton of money to get this terrible. I remember as a kid a talk show had a trans bond girl on and it was just treated as a cool thing and how beautiful she was.

THAT WAY MADNESS LIES is on sale for just $1.99! That is *so many* excellent and creative and diverse takes on Shakespeare by a whole bunch of amazing authors: Amz: amzn.to/4t7T1Xi Kobo: shorturl.at/WpgNO Apple: shorturl.at/HlxwF B&N: shorturl.at/KK5n2

Every defeat of fascists is a victory for believers in democracy everywhere. Hungary is showing us the way. So let's get it done, friends.

Good but scary article. #kidlit

Loved The Bletchley Riddle by @rutasepetys.bsky.social & Steve Sheinkin! They seamlessly weave history and fiction in this fascinating story appealing to both middle grade and young adult readers. The main characters are wonderful, too, especially the kooky and brilliant Lizzie. #MG #YA

Ugh, this is killing me. 32 kids in fourth and fifth grade classes, on average, next year if the levy doesn’t pass. Gonna be rough on my students. #alaskasky #Anchorage #AnchorageSchoolDistrict #educationfunding #education

I don't know who needs to hear this in Wasilla #Alaska but - Top speed on Bogard Rd. is 50mph - The brake pedal is the one to the left - The shoulder is not your personal Glory Lane to God - You could have hit that person who was walking on the side of the road you sopping wet dipshit #AlaskaSky

And now the federal government is trying to tell Alaskans who can vote and how to vote. Alaska’s elections belong to Alaskans. We decide how our elections are run, not politicians in DC, just like the Constitution intended. #AlaskaSky

Hope is an action, and none of us who've been doing this work for five years would still be doing it if we didn't believe fighting for our rights was worth it.

For people asking "why are school visits so hard to get right now" this is also going to be related to why even if you are not the author of a "banned book".

Rep. Begich and Sen. Sullivan pitch the SAVE Act as election security, despite scant evidence of fraud — while millions without passports or with name changes could face new barriers. State lawmakers are moving in the opposite direction, pushing to expand access for rural voters.

The Municipality of Anchorage sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Mobile Voting Project and its founder, asserting that the company has misrepresented the city’s mobile voting.

Call to demand Anchorage USCIS stop targeting children (in this case, the overseas-born minor child of a U.S. veteran), and that’s Alaska Department of Corrections stops coordinating with ICE! #AkLeg #Alaska #AlaskaSky #FuckICE

I’m very proud to have Nyché’s endorsement. It was an honor to work alongside her to advance a culturally inclusive graduation ceremony. Each May, when we see colorful and proud displays of Anchorage’s community, it’s because of her fierce advocacy to break down policy barriers. #ancgov
