Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

When a mom alleged that Idaho was wrongfully keeping kids with dyslexia and other disabilities from special education, the Department of Education found she was right. Idaho was accepting students with specific disabilities at half the national rate.

With @idahostatesman.com
The Department of Education Forced Idaho to Stop Denying Disabled Students an Education. Then Trump Gutted Its Staff.
For years, the Education Department was the only agency that could ensure states would improve conditions for disabled children. Now, Trump’s cuts threaten to hamper its oversight.

He claimed to have found $8 million in federal spending "for making mice transgender.”

That spending…doesn't exist. One of the studies he was referring to included testing on transgenic mice—used in biomedical research for almost 50 years—to improve treatments for people.
