BREAKING: A federal court ruled that an Arkansas law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom and library is unconstitutional.

The law is blocked for our clientsโ€™ school districts while the case continues.

Why read books? Because books are still the most powerful, reliable, transportive & magical storytelling technology we've invented - and all they need to work is YOUR OWN IMAGINATION! #booksky

I donโ€™t need to see the Epstein files. I believe the women. But, if thatโ€™s what it will take for Rs to realize DT is a grifter making money kidnapping people and putting them in concentration camps, then yes, keep attention on the Epstein file. Anything to close the American torture chambers.

"The university press is โ€œconcerned that the window may be closingโ€ for making deals with AI modeling companies, Pope wrote, โ€œso we need to move quickly.โ€

You know who urges you to make a "deal" quickly? Scamners.

Unprecedented continental drying, shrinking freshwater availability, and increasing land contributions to sea level rise Drying continents, extreme drought, and groundwater depletion are shrinking water availability and increasing sea level rise.

๐Ÿชจ Land is drying, and fast

A new study finds that the world's continents have been losing freshwater since 2002, faster than ever before. Dry areas are drying quicker than wet areas are wetting, shrinking water supplies and raising sea levels.

ICE Risks Overplaying Its Hand. Weโ€™ve Seen It Happen Before. Militarized federal encroachments on public life provoke strong, even violent responses โ€” even among those who agree with their aims.

"As ICE transforms into a massive, un-uniformed, masked domestic army ... thereโ€™s reason to believe it could backfire," writes @joshuamzeitz in his analysis.

Explore the historical backlash to militarized forces in civilian life and what it could mean for 2025 ๐Ÿ‘‡

Iโ€™ve been scrolling way too long and donโ€™t see much about Stephen Miller. We should be reading more about him than DT.

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase โ€˜Thereโ€™s no such thing as a free lunchโ€™. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is โ€˜The only free cheese is in the mousetrapโ€™ - which is so much better

It surprises me that there isn't more national reporting on the fact that Detroit will soon elect our first new mayor since the era of bankruptcy and emergency management.

It's a big deal!

This canโ€™t be repeated enough:

Masked soldiers are disappearing people off our city streets and itโ€™s not some post-apocalyptic, dystopian novel.

Itโ€™s actual America, 2025.
