S.B. 390 is written to target libraries and librarians. Some Georgia Republican Senators believe the American Library Association (ALA) spreads Marxist ideology. Therefore, they want to ban the Association from the state and require all public libraries to disassociate from the ALA.

Ceasefire

I’ve seen a man on Marietta Square holding a sign that asks for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas. I stopped today to talk with him, and wrote this post to honor him.
