After 1 white parent complained about "controversial ideas" from Nat'l Book Award finalist Derrick Barnes speaking at three Alabama elementary schools as part of Black History Month in February—Barnes' lectures were cancelled😳

It was never about CRT. It was never about protecting our children. It was always about advancing white supremacy.

Now, hundreds of Black & white children will be deprived meaningful education, because of the whims of 1 white racist parent. smh

When governor Ronald McDonald of Florida said you cannot teach or learn about the gay rights movement I knew he was going to come for Black people next and the Indigenous people as well. The only history you can learn in Florida is European and Asian history. Asians he's coming for you all next.

@georgetakei This must have been a difficult decision for them. With all the recent shootings they usually want to blame video games. Instead they decided to complain about having to wait a couple seconds to boot up their games. This is a good indication of just how numb we are to gun violence.

STOP USING “REFUTES” AS A SYNONYM FOR “DENIES.” I just saw a headline claiming George Santos “refutes” new allegations against him. Needless to say, he hasn’t refuted anything. He’s denied allegations, and is almost certainly lying. Sloppy usage misleads readers.

So, finally, Musk's minions have acknowledged why they locked out third-party Twitter clients: The purpose is to force users onto Twitter's own website and apps.

Remember, they lied earlier to justify killing off the competition, claiming violations of the rules. Since there were no violations they could point to, they rewrote the rules.

Anyone who trusts Musk and Twitter at this point is willfully stupid.

Many people are desperately afraid of “forever masking.”

I'm afraid of #COVID19 remaining a top five cause of death indefinitely.

I'm scared COVID will leave billions with lasting damage to their heart, brains, and immune systems.

I'm frightened that children infected three, four or nine times will have lifelong health issues.

I'm worried that a rapidly mutating virus could yet spin off a deadly new variant.

Why is it so hard to do something so simple to possibly save a life? #WearAMask
