Here you go.

("First they came for the socialists" is historical fact. The first concentration camp, Dachau, was built to imprison socialists. If the Nazis had not arrested communists and socialists, including lawmakers, they couldn't have achieved the two-thirds majority to pass the Enabling Act of 1933 and gain absolute power.)

More headlines to rewrite: 1. Amanda Gorman’s poem for the inauguration of Joe Biden was placed on a restricted list of reading for school kids based on the complaint of ONE parent. That parent attributed the poem to Oprah Winfrey, said it sent a message of hate, and refused to look at professional reviews of the poem. ONE ignorant and arrogant parent. That should be the headline. Not “Gorman’s poem banned In FL schools.” Think of what a badge of pride that gives the one parent.

NEW from me: A Texas bill allowing unlicensed chaplains to serve in public schools is headed to the gov's desk.

I did a deep dive on the coalition of activists, lawmakers and Christian groups that made it happen.

I found Jan 6 stuff, Christian nationalism, and…Ted Cruz? https://religionnews.com/2023/05/24/meet-the-activists-who-spearheaded-the-texas-chaplains-bill/

In the meantime, if you would like to know what a DeSantis-Musk conversation is like, imagine the alien wearing Vincent D'Onofrio's skin attempting to banter with the "wish him away into the cornfield" child from Twilight Zone

One of the worst parts of pandemic discourse has been supposed leftists trying to cast immunocompromised and higher risk people as party poopers, when they can't even get medical care due to the lack of public health protections. Access to healthcare is a human right.

Hey Florida doctors!

It's now legal to refuse treatment to politicians.

"Concerns of tribal sovereignty did not foreclose Oklahoma’s concurrent jurisdiction to prosecute in this case, said SCOTUS, because Indian tribes already lack criminal jurisdiction to prosecute crimes committed by non-Indians."

The solution is not to let Oklahoma prosecute, it's to recognize that Tribal and reservation authorities should have jurisdiction.

In memory of #TinaTurner, can the GOP primaries be held in
#ThunderDome? The results won’t be any different, but it will be vastly more entertaining.
