Killing people we disagree with is wrong in every way, whether it’s Melissa Hortman or Charlie Kirk. This is especially true in a country awash with guns and run by fascists looking to amplify their already militarized policies. No thoughts and prayers. Down with fascism and up with gun control.

If we’re going to find our way out of this it’s going to be through art, through love, through love that seems foolish and naive and reckless. It’s going to take a reawakening of what it means to be human, to be connected in a fearless way. This bloodless machine has to be dismantled, destroyed.

There is literally no ethical use of genAI. 🔥 It's built on theft. 🔥 It consumes vast environmental resources. 🔥 It consumes vast financial resources to support it. No company currently touting their "ethical" genAI has attempted to address all three. Once they do then MAYBE a discussion begins.

Authors Against Book Bans @authorsabb.bsky.social · 20/03/2025
Letters to the editors are important tools not just for communicating with elected officials or convincing other people to join the cause. They also show your allies that they are not alone. Write one even if you know city hall or the state house will ignore it. #FreedomtoRead #ReadFreely
Letters to the Editor
Please support the Freedom to Read Act
To the editor:
Our constitutional right to read freely is under attack across the country, and book challenges and soft censorship happen even in Rhode Island. That's why as a parent, author, and former volunteer at Barrington school libraries, I support the Freedom to Read Act (H 5736, S 0238), sponsored by Rep. Morales and Sen. McKenney. Thank you to Rep. Jennifer Boylan for supporting it too.
To understand why the freedom to read is important, ask a librarian how kids react when they see themselves in a book. When a child interrupts story time to excitedly shout, "Hey, that character looks like me!" Or when a teen reads a book that feels like a light in the darkness.
Books help kids feel seen and represented. They say, "you matter." And that can only happen with a diverse selection in schools and public libraries.
Yet these are exactly the books that are being challenged. In the last school year, PEN America recorded more than 10,000 instances of book bans in U.S. schools, the highest level ever recorded. More than half of these titles feature characters or people of color, themes of race and racism, or LGBTQ+ people or characters.
If books say, "you matter," what message are we sending our children when we take them off the shelves?
Removing books does not protect students; it puts them at a disadvantage. According to Unite Against Book Bans, educators report that adding diverse books to their classrooms increased reading test scores and the time students spent reading. 
Access to a wide range of books help kids build critical thinking skills, develop empathy, and prepare for the world.
It's really this simple. Parents may choose what their child reads, but they don't have the right to choose what your child reads. Please join me in asking our state legislators to support the Freedom to Read Act. Thank you!
Sincerely, 
Jamie Michalak
