We must emancipate U.S. kids from groups like Moms for Liberty #GOPFascists #MomsForFascism #MomsForCensorship #MomsForLiberty https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/amanda-gorman-poem-florida-book-ban-rcna86081

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.

FACTS:
Inflation in Florida is 2 points higher than national average because of the disastrous policies of Ron DeSantis.
Our state lost 2,000 jobs & over $2 billion in investments because of his attacks on one of our largest state employers.
DeSantis is a danger to America.

Before she was the Queen of Rock and Roll, Tina Turner was a farmer’s daughter in Tennessee. As a child, she sang in the church choir before becoming one of the most successful recording artists of all time.
In addition to being a once-in-a-generation talent that changed American music forever, Tina’s personal strength was remarkable. Overcoming adversity, and even abuse, she built a career for the ages and a life and legacy that were entirely hers.
Jill and I send our love and prayers to her husband Erwin, the rest of the Turner family, and fans around the world who are mourning today for the woman they agree was “simply the best.”

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.

"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.

It's been a year since Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas turned into another tragedy in America.
A year of missed birthdays.
A year of every day joys – his smile, her laugh – gone.
Today, we mourn the 19 children and two educators stolen from us by gun violence.
