  1. Rutherford County, #Tennessee has been in the news for its ‘lead’ in the #MAGA cult’s national #BookBanning race.

    The chief protagonist in the Board of #Education is #CalebTidwell. Sadly, he was not up for re-election this year. But a fellow #Republican who resisted some of his #BookBan requests was. A #MAGA cult member challenged her and was arrested for stealing political signs during early voting. He won the primary. mainstreetmediatn.com/articles

    He just lost to a #Democrat in the election. 😂

  2. We know that book bans aren’t limited to schools; they stretch behind bars, too. So this June 11, on International Day of Solidarity with Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners (@june11), along with our friends at @BlueRidgeABC and Tranzmission Prison Project, we’re hosting a Banned Books Back! packaging party to raise funds for freedom fighters inside the prison system. Anyone, near or far, can pledge a donation for every book bundle we pack, starting at 5 cents per bundle. Sign up now at bit.ly/j11-pledge! Our co-op is matching $1 per bundle 💸

    Community members are invited to join us at 5:30 pm for food, informal conversations, and free literature about June 11. Then, at 6:30 pm, pitch in on the fun of packaging free chapter books for kids in Florida!

    Free minds, free them all, until all are free!

  3. Even if they ban the books, or tried to wipe out the history, people will always remember the ugliness and bitterness that they have seen or have lived…

    Just remember that hiding your head under the sand does not wipe out what have been done.

    Books can be banned, but the memory and words are always going to be preserved in the head …
