Among the titles on Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick’s book-banning target list are books explicitly written about censorship and the fight to keep books accessible.

@gerryhughes59.bsky.socialCensorship in America’s libraries and schools has expanded so far that even picture books about crayons are being targeted and banned.
@gerryhughes59.bsky.socialIf you needed proof that the book-banning movement has completely unspooled from reality, look no further than your school library’s pet section.
@gerryhughes59.bsky.socialYes, they’re banning books about butts and farts.
You really can’t make this stuff up.
@gerryhughes59.bsky.socialBanned Books Week is October 4 through 10.
We're asking you to wear the socks and fund the fight.
@gerryhughes59.bsky.social@gerryhughes59.bsky.socialWe’re beating book banners back in Texas.
We can fight them in Washington, too.
@gerryhughes59.bsky.socialIn case you missed it, librarians won on one of America's biggest stages.
A documentary about librarians standing up against book bans and defending the freedom to read was honored at the Emmys.

@arkansaucian.bsky.socialReposted by @gerryhughes59.bsky.socialThe existence of trans women does not make me any less of a woman. The existence of trans women in “my” spaces is not a threat. Trans women are women. Excluding them from feminism is cruel. They didn’t create the patriarchy but you’re sure as fuck perpetuating it.
