The Sargent-at-Arms blocks Tennessee State Representative Justin Pearson of Memphis from entering a legislative committee meeting about redrawing that state's electoral map — specifically for *the district he represents*. The measure to approve the effective elimination of the state's only majority Black voting district — replacing it with five new majority White Republican districts — follows last week's Roberts-Alito Court ruling abolishing the remaining provisions of the Voting Rights Act.

@pluralistic's newsletter shared this link: https://thebookslist.com/20-fiction-books-to-inspire-climate-action/, which is an excellent list of #climae #action #books, but the couple I've tried to locate #audiobooks of don't seem to have them easily avialablle. I've tried the #NLSBard, @librofm, #Chirpbooks, and even #audible (I don't subscribe, but whenever I get <n> months of Audible free, I have a List of exclusives that I'd like to listen to).

I even tried Bookshare.org, which I have access to as a student.

I have #LostCause because Cory rocks, but there are many books that I'd like to read that don't have #audiobook editions.

And this is true for other genres, too.
