A photo inside of a bookstore full of people sitting and listening to a presentation. The speakers are at the far end of the photo, almost in the background.

Elisa Speranza and Erin (Pink) Mosley pose for a selfie. Pink's attire and hair are inspired by the 1940s and early 50s.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

We’ve been blowing on the dying embers of democracy, trying to restart the fire with our protests and our outrage. Last night, voters brought the lighter fluid. 🔥

Today I'm celebrating #NationalLibraryWeek and our freedom to write and read what we want. @americanlibrary.bsky.social and @uabookbans.bsky.social are shining a light on the many attempts to steal those fundamental rights. #RightToRead #FreeTheBooks #lovemylibrary

Cory Booker, winding down: "We need a greater love in this country a greater fight in this country a greater determination." And re: Strom Thurmond: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. The people are more powerful."

In a time when some of our heroes are being erased from history, it feels especially relevant to be writing about nurses who served in #WW2. My latest Substack post is up. open.substack.com/pub/elisamar...

A good reminder of why we were out on the streets today. Vulnerable people in our community, and the brave warriors working with them, suffering already from the deliberate cruelty. atmos.earth/black-led-cl...

Check on your friends who work for social justice and community nonprofits that rely on corporate and federal grant money. They are not OK.

Swearing at the TV watching this press conference with strong women leaders who actually know stuff (FBI, police chief, even our mayor) trying to get a word in around Senator Foghorn Leghorn hogging the mike with his nonsensical mansplaining and grandstanding. And the governor too.
