Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

@politico.com keep up the great reporting. Glad to see #Ingrassia, nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel and investigate whistleblower complaints, avoiding accountability by blaming anonymously submitted complaints. #Fahrenheit451 #firemen anyone?

@mayorofchicago.bsky.social 🎉And if @chenoweth.bsky.social is right and if @huffpost.com reporting is accurate (7million protested) then we only need 4 million more to hit the 3.5% necessary for non violent protest victory. It’s important to know our specific asks. #economic bill of rights anyone?

I wonder what it's going to take for a history textbook to ever state plain the fact that a Black liberal being elected President of the United States broke this country's psyche so hard that it spent the next (at least) 8 years simultaneously schisming itself & pretending it wasn't.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.
And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.
Did I get that right?

Dear news outlets: Link to the actual things you're writing about. A lawsuit? Link to it. A previous court ruling? Link to it. A bill? Yup, link.
So often we instead get a link to that outlet's past coverage, only to learn the original story also didn't link to the source.
This is bad. Stop it.
