					<description><![CDATA[I use the word &#8220;burning&#8221; metaphorically. But it might as well be literal. If you ban a list of books in a system of libraries, the libraries have a bunch of recycling to do, and eventually &#8230; to the county incinerator go the books. In fact, I give you no truck, no room, no wiggle-space, &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2022/09/03/fundy-christians-magajerks-proud-boys-school-and-library-board-members-ban-burning-books/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Fundy Christians, MAGAjerks, Proud Boys, School and Library Board Members, Ban-Burning Books</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This post is meant to be a rough draft of an overview of police reform activism over recent decades. What I&#8217;m saying here is mainly from my own memory. Ever since I&#8217;ve been storing and retaining memories, I&#8217;ve been one sort of environmentalist or another, but police reform activism has been part of my life &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2021/04/21/police-reform-history-success-failure/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Policing Reform: Then, now, next</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
