A bill in Michigan would make "consent[ing] to, obtain[ing], or assist[ing] with a gender transition procedure for a child" -- even short-term puberty blockers -- the equivalent of beating a kid to the point of brain damage. via @reason.

So proud of the work that Debbie Mikula does for @MLAoffice and libraries in Michigan every day. We are so lucky to have her.
"Librarians are not trying to force your children to read material you donât want them to read. They are fulfilling their role as information professionals tasked with upholding the constitutional promise of access to information for all."
