The Target thing is so funny. They had hooked pretty much every Black person I know, and then they threw it all away to make the confederate flag crowd happy just so they could not shop there too.

Hello! Is it me you’re looking for?

With these posts, they’ve made it essentially inarguable that they’re deliberately defying the Supreme Court.

This book, FLAP YOUR HANDS, is gorgeous and joyous, and I recommend it highly to anyone who wants to counter the horrible narratives about autism put out by RFK Jr. www.leeandlow.com/books/flap-y...

When you don't know if you are hallucinating or not.

Wait, Karoline Leavitt is only 27 years old???? Evil got that girl looking like an AARP member several decades ahead of schedule, wow.

In the ruling, Judge George J. Quist said these books do not qualify as being “harmful to minors.” Whenever someone reads the books, they realize the book banners were lying the whole time. www.mlive.com/news/grand-r...

I have eaten The extra mild Old El Paso Fajita kit I got in the UK Forgive me I added Hot sauce It needed it

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

Everyone is yelling at the dinner table because I said Bowser was a dragon. The kids are enraged. Filibusters have started.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

Kee Malesky, NPR's research librarian for more than 20 years, has died at age 74. She left NPR in 2014. She's remembered for her love of facts, and here's another irrefutable one: She will be missed.

Black History is American History.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...
