"Love over hate, equal rights." In Texas, a mother was "appalled" when her 4-year-old found a library book with those themes. "Indoctrination," the mom called it. So she ran for her local school board—and won. @JinATX @propublica @TexasTribune https://www.propublica.org/article/a-push-to-remove-lgbtq-books-in-one-county-could-signal-rising-partisanship-on-school-boards

Hamilton Thomas D.
To understand how KOMO—once a trusted news source in Seattle—has become what you see below, it’s worth revisiting this @KromanDavid story on how the station changed after being bought by Sinclair Broadcast Group. https://crosscut.com/2018/04/how-life-changed-komo-when-sinclair-came-seattle https://twitter.com/choeshow/status/1505286980468281345

Portrait of a Thief
Grace D. Li
Recently read "Portrait of a Thief," by @gracedli, a heist thriller that tackles how museums are now being forced to confront the troubling history of their collections. So many parallels between her novel & this @Ksharpauthor @propublica story. https://t.co/2ysw3hTSsk

We Were Once a Family: A Story of Love, Death, and Child Removal in America
Roxanna Asgarian
"We Were Once a Family," by @strawburriez, is coming out in March from @fsgbooks. And as bleak and enraging as the subject is, this book is going to the top of my must-read list. https://t.co/QbvzfgzEJx
