**note: by the term, "banned books", it means that these books are frequently challenged, usually by conservative groups, and as a result, these books have been banned in some schools and libraries across the US. so these do NOT mean they are banned everywhere.

"Antifa cats exist"

This is a great reminder that Corporate America is not now, has never been, and never will be on your side.

“Stay queer”

Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker has once again stood up for trans kids, this time condemning US president Donald Trump as a “cruel bully” at a Human Rights Campaign event. The staunch LGBTQ+ supporter, who signed an executive order in 2019 to protect young trans people and introduced a law in 2023 to prevent book bans, spoke at the Human Rights Campaign dinner in Los Angeles on March 22. He began: “The Trump administration and his Republican lackeys in Congress are looking to reverse every single victory this community has won over the last 50 years.  “And right now it’s drag queens reading books and transgender people serving in the military. Tomorrow, it’s your marriage license and your job they want to take.”
