As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey JUST CALLED FOR a statewide and federal ban on assault weapons.

Who’s with him?

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.”

"None Of These Books Are Obscene": Judge Strikes Down Much of Florida's Book Ban Bill In a major win for intellectual freedom, a judge rules against Florida law that led to removing hundreds of books from school libraries.

How about that? A victory for people who actually read.

Trump Withholds Nearly $7 Billion for Schools, With Little Explanation

If you're a parent with kids in after school programs, please pay attention to this.

This is your taxpayer money to help make sure your kids have good after school care. Trump doesn't care if your kids get it, they just want it for their billionaire tax cuts. 1/2

South Georgia library manager fired for trans-inclusive display The branch manager at the Pierce County Library was fired after displaying a trans-inclusive children's book in a public display.

Lavonnia Moore, the librarian fired for including one of my books on a display after a child requested it, sounds incredible and what happened to her should be a crime. roughdraftatlanta.com/2025/07/05/l...

Crockett: We have 83 billionaires. And somehow they have 535 people that are speaking up for them every single day to make sure that when they get married for a second or third or fourth time, that they can go ahead and have another $50 million wedding

Thank you to Stacy for sharing her story - and for doing what any parent would do to make sure their daughter has the care she needs to live at home.

As this bill on GOP Medicaid cuts goes back to the House, it’s not too late to remind Washington politicians just how much is at stake.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location.

ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her.

This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

We were just suspended without warning from threads and Instagram. We have no idea why.

If any of y’all are on those apps and want to let them know to fix that we would be appreciative.

I get the appeal of AI tools for artists, because who among us has not sat in the middle of making something and wailed "if only I could be done with this already!". But the answer to that wall is not to have someone do the rest for you.

So you’re telling us the radical transparency people are against… transparency?

The Georgia abortion law is undoubtedly in play, but that fact that, like many states, Georgia law suspends advance directives during pregnancy likely is also taking the choice away from the woman's family

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

i have always admired and looked up to dickerson and this is a very good example of why

Adoptee Traces, ask the question to adoptees how having your own biological children affected you. I am always looking for more adoptees and hearing more stories, growing up adopted. I was fortunate to have a wonderful upbringing, but I know that is not always the path.

Adoptee Traces

I am looking for Adoptee’s who have had their own biological child. Part of this work is getting to know people who have that one thing in common yet we probably will have different experiences to share. You can look at my website for more on this body of work.
