@SRuhle @11thHour Thank you! https://t.co/0ZItMmnQZs

@SRuhle I think the shift in priorities with Gen Z is a natural progression of gen values & aspirations. Each gen builds upon the achievements & knowledge of the prev gen, striving for progress in various aspects of life. Reminds me of John Adams quote: https://t.co/wxIq8E4heU

A school book ban is any action taken against a book that leaves access to a book restricted or diminished. This decision of moving my book from its original place, taken after one parent complained, diminishes the access elementary schoolers would have previously had to my poem. Glad @FLFreedomRead and I could help clarify that for @MDCPS to ensure accurate information.

What Wikipedia did: we stood strong for our principles and fought to the Supreme Court of Turkey and won. This is what it means to treat freedom of expression as a principle rather than a slogan.

WATCH: “…it wasn't mental health that killed these people, it was an automatic rifle. I'm a gun lover. I have guns. I'm a former police officer. I’m a former Army officer ... prayers won't bring these people back. We need action in our legislatures.”

Holy shit. A top Republican legal strategist was just caught in a recording at the GOP donor retreat saying college students voting is “a big problem” and urging them to “combat” Gen Z’s voting rights. (h/t @lawindsor)

You can’t do zero about serious evidence of possible gross corruption by Justices of the Supreme Court and, at the same time, complain that Americans don’t have the high respect for the Court that they used to.

@Brink_Thinker What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.

NEW: Ralph Yarl, 16, was shot twice by a white man in Kansas City after accidentally ringing the doorbell of the wrong home. The man shot Ralph in the head through his glass door, and then when Yarl was already bleeding out on the ground, shot him again: https://t.co/w3tYQvcpyj
