We randomly selected 30 titles to see how many physical copies were pulled for β€œ1006.28 Review” in Hillsborough County Public Schools media centers.

30 titles = 1,729 physical books.

There are over 600 unique titles between the state’s two lists.

Let that sit.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

β€œThey took my shoes and pulled out my shoelaces.

'What are you doing? What is happening?’ I asked.

'You are being detained.’

'I don’t understand. What does that mean? For how long?’

'I don’t know.’”

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

If you’re not part of the resistance, you’re part of the problem. And stay out of the way of the people that actually care about this country and the human beings in it.

The Senate has just voted to confirm #PeteHegseth, a drunken, out-of-control abuser, as the weakest Secretary of Defense in history.

This was the closest vote for SecDef, needing the weird couch guy to break the tie.

It's a sad day for America.
Hegseth is a DUI hire.

The Republicans control the Senate despite representing fewer Americans than Democrats. They control the House thanks solely to extreme gerrymanders. They will confirm anyone who Trump puts forward. If a political party could be a participation trophy, it would be today’s GOP.
