JUST NOW: Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias SILENCES Lindsey Graham during a hearing on Republican book banning:
He says it PERFECTLY. 👇
“Don’t let one parent who disagrees with a certain world view determine whether a book should be in a library.
That goes against the very point of our Democracy, (it hinders) the means to educate our youth, and to allow them to think for themselves.”
Illinois is the first state to enact a law that requires state libraries uphold a pledge not to ban material because of partisan disapproval.
Smash that heart if you agree books should be READ and not BANNED! 💙
HILARIOUS KARMA: 📺 It's both amusing and shameful. In New York, Donald Trump's home state, there is a MASSIVE TV screen on a building presumably near Trump Tower that continuously displays all of his indictments including a picture of his mug shot. You can simply pass by and witness the disgraceful actions of the former president and his criminal activities. If you agree with New York's actions, show your approval by dropping a💙 in your support.
In the state of Iowa, Republicans rolled back child labor laws to allow 14 year olds to WORK in meatpacking plants.
In West Virginia, more than a dozen of them voted against BANNING child marriage.
And in Missouri, they refused to pass a law BARRING children from openly carrying firearms in public.
So when Republicans say that they’re the ones who are “protecting our kids”… they’re full of shit.
This is awful - former #NFL RB Zac Stacy was sentenced to 6 months in jail for attacking his ex-girlfriend in front of their child.
There's simply no way 6 months is enough.
