Surprise! The FLDOE finally dropped the 23/24 statewide challenge/removal list (now that the FL supermajority is safe).

The list is much longer than the 22/23 list and contains far more titles.

"I know that's not true."

@esglaude on whether it's "the economy stupid."

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

This is the textbook definition of ethnic cleansing.

[Kristen Arnett @Kristen_Arnett]

once again, really urging people to get a library card if you haven't already - and not just that, i'm begging you to USE your library resources. show up. though they're important, we do way more than just books. libraries are spaces that allow community building and care.

@EliMcCann Lady is a beast. I would LOVE to know what her sleep hygiene routine looks like. I feel like she must be one of those unicorns who can just will herself to pass out on demand, and every moment of sleep is deliberate and productive. ENVYYYY.

If you’re of a certain age and grew up in philadelphia, this is like Moses calling down from the mountain

@JeremyWingert79 Indeed, he performed well. Over that, I will take Walz's less polished, very passionate, and extremely well-informed (through experience!) approach any day.

She spoke with some humanity but my heart is so heavy. Withhold the means of genocide. Free Palestine

@bikemamadelphia Can you share where this is? (My spouse works for Indego and would like to go rescue this poor little jawn. 😆)

[Kate @mskaaaate]

Now that's a moment every teacher knows, the domino effect pile-on hug. You will be unable to move and somebody will sneeze directly in your face and/or lick your elbow, but it's all worth it.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will be the Democratic VP candidate, alongside Kamala Harris.

Walz forged a reputation as a Governor who makes good policy happen.

Last year he signed a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all Minnesota students. And that's not all 🧵

you are trying to conflate “early era wes anderson character” weird with “cousin who doesn’t get invited to thanksgiving because you have to make sure he’s not left alone with your fourteen year old niece” weird and it’s not gonna work

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

I will never back down in speaking truth to power.

The apartheid government of Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. Palestinians will not be erased. Solidarity with all those outside of these walls in the streets protesting and exercising their right to dissent.

If you haven’t already READ THIS BOOK NOW! If you already have, you might want to pick up this 30th anniversary edition with a new foreward by yours truly… #bydhttmwfi

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

“This is not who we are, America” just doesn’t ring true to me.

My father was assassinated in this nation, gunned down on a motel balcony in Memphis, where he was engaged as a nonviolent warrior for nondiscriminatory, humane wages.

He was killed for working to end racism, poverty, and militarism, which he called the Triple Evils, and which are all still perpetuated both in policy and practice by the United States of America.

This is not who we should be.

With that honest statement about our culture of violence, political and otherwise, we can rise up to eradicate injustice and violence, and reform our rhetoric.

[Trey Ferguson @PastorTrey05]

My theological commitment is to peace. As a result , my ethical & strategic commitments are to nonviolence.

But that is only a meaningful stance if violence is a reasonable response/expectation AND a very real possibility.

Not just from “them” either. 2/9
