Breaking news: censorship isn't just for banned books anymore. My musical Between the Lines was cancelled due to the comments of a single parent.

PEN America @penamerica.bsky.social · 2d

Author @jodipicoult.bsky.social is being banned in two mediums this fall — her books and now a high school musical.

“It’s devastating... kids who put in hundreds of hours of hard work had that torn away from them because of the objections of a single parent,” she says.

Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

As always, never give YOUR information to websites you don't know and trust.

BUUUUUT, this would be a great time for Seymour Butz and all of his friends to put themselves into the database (from a library computer, or at least using a VPN, of course.)

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.

Trump is following almost to the letter Hitlers path to power. Sending the SS into Democratic neighborhoods to start violence and then blaming it on Democrats is classic Weimar Republic Germany. Now he wants to start jailing opposition leaders.

Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:

Tell Congress: Stop Trump's Plan to Let AI Deny Medicare Coverage

Donald Trump and Dr. Oz want to let Artificial Intelligence (AI) choose which procedures Medicare will cover for individual patients -- with AI companies being paid based on how much money they save by denying people’s coverage. This cruel ploy comes as Medicare faces an urgent funding crisis thanks to Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. None of this “cost-saving” would be necessary if Trump and the GOP weren't driving up healthcare costs and starving our healthcare system of funds. Email Congress NOW: Demand that they stop AI-powered healthcare denials and use the upcoming funding deadline to restore healthcare.

Trump deported hundreds of Venezuelans to a Salvadoran megaprison earlier this year. On Friday, they were quietly swapped for 10 Americans jailed by Maduro.

The same men the U.S. claimed it couldn’t bring back are now part of a deal brokered behind closed doors.

There are elections tomorrow and it’s more than just AZ. There is a STATEWIDE election in GA with a really bad candidate in a runoff. There is an election in Ward 8 for DC city Council, which is basically their only representation. And then there are elections in FL and SC as well.
