Milo believed in the Tollbooth, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter — tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. And one fine morning — So we beat on, booths against the current, borne back ceaselessly into Dictionopolis.

This is nothing short of spitting in the faces of all the professions that make book publishing what it is. And I think they’ll find that most authors and illustrators will be digusted by it.

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.
