Officials in Tennessee aren't just banning books, they're now demanding information on who checked out contested (largely LGBTQ+) books, including names, addresses, and "household composition."
A librarian who was given the directive has come forward asking for whistleblower protections.

This is an important read by a researcher who has investigated the many deceptive and harmful practices of unregulated pregnancy centers in the US. It's astounding what these fake clinics are allowed to get away with.

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

If you’re struggling, you’re not alone. It’s a lot to process.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Two victims of previous school shootings — Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.

The very first question someone asks Leavitt should be "What the fuck?"
Just open with that question, have everyone in the room staring at Leavitt, waiting for an answer.
Because we need to start treating the obvious as obvious.

MacKenzie Scott has been one of the biggest names in philanthropy in 2025. The billionaire novelist, philanthropist, and ex-wife to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has donated hundreds of millions of dollars just in the past few months—but since 2020, she’s donated an eye-popping $19.25 billion.

Let's take a moment and assess. Sabrina Carpenter, a US citizen, told the US government to not use her likeness or intellectual property to push their agenda.
And the US government basically just told her to go fuck herself. From the official White House account.

Trump: "I took my physical. I got all As. Everything. But they said to me, 'would you like to take a cognitive test?' I said, 'Is it hard?' They said, 'yes.' I said, 'Well, I'm a very smart person. Who was the last president to take one?' 'No president has ever agreed to take one' ... I aced it."

here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"
