Book/reading goal for 2025:
1) only read banned books. Even ones I've read before.
2) only buy books second hand or from independent sellers.
3) review each banned book and see why it was banned in the first place.

It will not go to the 5th Circuit. By law it goes straight to SCOTUS. Ron DeSantis is a moron.

This constant abusive behavior by the President of the United States is incredibly triggering to SA and/or DV survivors.
Statistics state 1 in 6 women have been assaulted in our lifetime.
But we all know that number is even higher - coercion, threats, death, silence.
The complicity is worse.

Here it is
Trump's vile misogynistic rant

What have we become
that he is allowed to do this all the time

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.
That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.
Wow.

Listen…If y’all want to talk honesty, then let’s be honest about all of it.
The promises, the hypocrisy, the receipts.
Because what you campaigned on and what you’re doing? Two very different things.

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Sanford grandfather, born in refugee camp, nabbed by ICE after 70 years in U.S.
Paul Bojerski never gained official residency, but he checked in regularly with ICE for years. Then in July, at age 79, he was detained and sent to Alligator Alcatraz.

Trump will make agricultural imports like coffee, cocoa, bananas and certain beef products exempted from his tariffs.
Now, remember…
He created the problem to begin with, and now he wants credit for backtracking?!
