On Dec 20, 1777 the Kingdom of Morocco became the world's first nation to recognize US independence. Sultan Mohammed III opened Moroccan ports to US ships—forging an alliance. As a secular nation, USA celebrates people of all faiths & no faith on the tenets of justice. #4thofJuly

Day 6: Folks don't get the scope of book bans in FL, TX schools. We started a free library of banned books by themes. This month's: Race & religion. I'll show 1 banned book a day here. Banned in FL: Kid's book about Ruby Bridges, 1st black child to integrate Louisiana school.

KARMA IS A BITCH: The TN GOP just gave MILLIONS of dollars of free publicity to Democrats. Just look at the views this video has, in such a short time. It's blowing up. Why? Because the Republicans don’t care if you die from guns. And the nation is beyond fed up. When…

When you get off the plane with the legendary Joan Baez you know it’s a movement of the spirit. She stands with us in our struggle in Tennessee and said she’s hopeful to see young voices leading. “WE SHALL OVERCOME…” Serendipitous, indeed.

When someone gets their day in court, they shouldn’t have to wonder whether their judge—or a Supreme Court justice—is looking out for wealthy donors instead of the rule of law. I’ll keep fighting to root corruption out of our federal judiciary. propublica.org/article/claren…

Roald Dahl was no angel but this is absurd censorship. Puffin Books and the Dahl estate should be ashamed.

At @PENamerica we are alarmed at news of "hundreds of changes" to venerated works by @roald_dahl in a purported effort to scrub the books of that which might offend someone. 1/13 theguardian.com/books/2023/feb…

The “party of freedom” is threatening to prosecute teachers as felons for the crime of making books available. 😳

1. Florida teachers are being told to remove all books from their classroom libraries OR FACE FELONY PROSECUTION The new policy is based on the premise that teachers are using books to "groom" students or indoctrinate them with leftist ideologies. 🧵 popular.info/p/florida-teac…

First priorities of @HouseGOP include: —⬆️ taxes on working families —⬆️ gas prices —Cutting Social Security and Medicare —Protecting wealthy tax cheats —Gutting women's rights —A 23% national sales tax It's clear whose side they're on: the ultra-wealthy. Not working families.

I don’t think older generations understand $15 to $20 an hour just isn't enough. People aren't lazy. People want to work and provide for their families. It’s just tough to find motivation when what you are earning barely (or doesn't at all) cover your day to day expenses.
