Hey children's librarian friends: looking for a new tune for my "ten little monsters" flannel board (the tune I've been using has a racist history and i'm no longer comfortable just changing the words). Are there other classic tunes or catchy new ones?

When Franken was accused—he resigned
When Schneiderman was accused—he resigned
When Conyers was accused—he resigned
When Trump was accused—he was elected
When Moore was accused—he was endorsed
When Kavanaugh was accused—he was confirmed
Never say the parties are the same

Here it is, plain and simple.
McConnell set the rule.
Now, he and Senate Republicans need to follow it.
No vote on a Supreme Court nominee until after the new Congress is seated.

It is shockingly difficult for immigration attorneys to locate children separated from their parents at the border. Today I spoke to lawyers who represent more than 400 parents. They've located two children.
Just finished a story time for a daycare. One little boy waved as I left and said, “have a fluffy day!”
.@SenRonJohnson here's a poem for you this morning. genius.com/Warsan-shire-home… #KeepFamiliesTogether
.@SenRonJohnson this is unconscionable. You have the power to help. Will you turn your back on these children and families? teapawt.org/andy_olsen/status/1006…
.@SenRonJohnson As Chair of Homeland Security, forcible and inhumane separation of families is happening on your watch. Children are being locked in cages.
You should take action ASAP. Hold a committee oversight hearing.

can't stop thinking about this article by @buckleit today. How can we help save ethical indie kids' app makers? Get a grant to start an indie developer fund? And srsly, WHY can we not already "subscribe" to our fave app makers? @amyeileenk @ClaudiaHaines childrenstech.com/blog/archi…
