Sunday's #kidlit #resistance quote, from My Little Book of Big Freedoms, inspired by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, lovely art by Chris Riddell. Lots of jewels in the 323 section of the library: Civil & Political Rights. #librarians #picturebooks #edusky @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social 📚

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Congratulations! Great title.

Bookmarked. Shared. Liked. I'm laughing my ass off at this! Share this far and wide. Thank you, Donald for your attention to this humor! 🤣🤣🤣

Start planning now to attend a No Kings protest on Oct. 18. We need this one to be even bigger than the last one. Invite your family and friends, and ask them to invite their family and friends. People power can defeat fascism.

Sundays I'm posting quotes from #nonfiction #picturebooks about #resistance "They ignored the law & refused to leave until they were served. Those kids had a recipe, too. A new brew called integration. It was just as simple: combine black with white to make sweet justice." FROM:

Look what happens when I try to go online this morning #Catsofbluesky #cats 🐈

What a great quote about being an author! Thanks for sharing.📚

Sundays, I'm posting quotes about #resistance in #nonfiction #picturebooks 📚 #edusky #lit-resistance

D.C. is pounding pavement! ✊🏼 Power to the People ✊🏼

For every one Nat Turner in U.S. history, there are a hundred Tulsa massacres and more than a thousand massacres of indigenous tribes. The formerly enslaved, even after being armed to fight the confederate traitors, did not go on rampages to mass murder and burn down white communities.

Every Sunday I'm sharing some choice quotes about #resistance in #nonfiction #picturebooks #lit-resistance 📚 #edusky " 'An unjust law is no law at all," he proclaimed. Audrey had listened to Mike explain his plan at her supper table and knew what he meant. If a law is unjust, disobey it." FROM:

Blue state health officials can create a group similar to AG's association. Or Govs can jointly release a statement committing to vaccine science. That would be powerful: Blue states collectively standing up for public health while Trump/RFK destroy it. newrepublic.com/article/1998...

NEW on HEADS UP NEWS: This year, Labor Day is no picnic www.headsupnews.org/p/this-year-...

Every week I'm sharing some of my fave #kidlit quotes about #resistance. "Money is a powerful thing. But there is power in the people. There is POWER in the UNION - the union of workers marching side by side, demanding better lives." #lit-resistance #edusky #picturebooks #nonfiction 📚FROM:

Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.

On Sundays I'm gonna share some of my favorite #kidlit quotes about #resistance. "Ida knew that hopes and dreams were important. She also knew that hope was not enough all by itself. People had to take action." #lit-resistance 📚 From:

Spread the news to your friends and neighbors in Cali!

Writers crave feedback like this. Thank you & congratulations to @lauraalary.bsky.social I always credit Jonah Winter for inspiring me- and actually got to tell him so, when I interviewed him for a session at #SCBWI #picturebookbiographies 📚 lauraalary.ca/2025/08/13/c...

“The silent erasure of books, disappearing from shelves without formal challenges, is as insidious as outright bans,” @heykellyjensen.bsky.social warns.

RIP Allan Ahlberg. His fanciful books (with wife Janet) brought much joy to my daughters. This one is an absolute classic- fun rhymes, fairy tale references (and the cover reminds me of William Morris) 📚

From a time when childhood vaccines were just a figment of imagination. Row after row of baby headstones.

this shouldn't just prompt a resignation, it's almost like negligent homicide if any of those people died

Beautiful.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

"One guy from Japan and one guy from Venezuela, standing on a field in Los Angeles, playing a 180-year-old game that was invented in New York after evolving from another game imported from England. Isn’t that quintessentially American?"

Huntington Library Pasadena has a mini exhibit on #losangeles. Design sketch for #midmodern Googie's restaurant in DTLA. Heart skipped a beat. Armet & Davis firm. #architecture

This isn’t just a bill. It’s a fundamental restructuring of American society in which the poor are abandoned, and “immigration jails” outrank healthcare. Billions taken from one and given to the other.

Harpers has a nice track record for publishing labor books for kids (including an upcoming picture book by yours truly). Looking forward to this one!📚💪

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

Here's the joint statement re: Mahmoud v Taylor from the authors and illustrators of the LGBTQ+ picture books involved. I appreciate you reading and sharing this. It was the decision we expected, but are devastated to read nonetheless. pen.org/press-releas...

A history of science books for children. Let's hope #SCOTUS doesn't let states ban #STEM books. #picturebooks 📚 www.jstor.org/stable/42731...

Cover reveal of our upcoming book about the remarkable Quaker abolitionist Benjamin Lay, to be published Oct. 14 by PM Press. With its theme of non-violent protest against injustice, it's truly relevant in these times. 📚 #picturebooks #kidlit

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

Some good news! Amanda Hall's gorgeous artwork for our picture book Out of This World will be displayed in the same museum as Leonora's! We're doing a virtual artists in conversation talk on July 24. If you click on "more" events, you'll find us. www.katonahmuseum.org/exhibitions/...

From our LA City Councilmember, Bob Blumenfield, who No Kingsed: " ...our businesses & our tax revenues (tourism & sales) are hemorrhaging. My fear is that economic strangulation is another Trump tactic being used to weaken the City & create a pretense for a federal takeover." Yikes.

Bravo to the iconic Casa Vega in #losangeles. More businesses should have the courage to stand up for their immigrant labor- restaurants, hotels, carwashes, construction etc #AbolishICE

Proud of these LAUSD teachers!

ICE abducted Moises Sotelo today. He is a trusted vineyard management business owner from Newburg, Oregon, who has been in the US since 1994. He has a wife, three children, and five grandchildren who need him to be returned safely to them.
