That’s just weird. And offensive.
Q: The Syrian president came in, and Trump sprayed perfume all over him. Did he smell?
Leavitt: That happens all the time. Not just with the Syrian president, but I've seen it with foreign leaders, cabinet members, myself. He has a cologne and a perfume. He's just showing off his wonderful scents

Trump says he will sell our most advanced fighter jets to the Saudis, who US intelligence says killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. Looks like Saudi Arabia’s billion-dollar business deals with the Trump family are paying off. This is outrageous.

Using A.I. to vet library materials flags many titles that are not accurate and matches titles against "challenged" books or reviews which could include anything. This practice is problematic. Districts should not be using A.I. to vet materials, since A.I. does not include the context or full text.
In some cases, the impact has been immediate:
New Braunfels ISD used Bookmarked to help identify 450+ library books that could violate SB 13, from The Handmaid’s Tale to Madame Bovary to Game of Thrones.
The district shut its library for two weeks to start reviewing them. 4/

Today, thousands of people came out to events all across NYC—picking up and handing out materials to defend their neighborhoods from ICE. There were whistles kits & know your rights cards. People went to hundreds of businesses hanging signs of solidarity. Incredible feat by @handsoffnyc.bsky.social.

"What's happening here is evil."
I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Viral posts about how Moms For Liberty had zero wins on election night...aren't true. They're misinformation, even dis-info.
M4L did have a number of school board candidates win. You can verify that information pretty easily.
They had *A LOT* of losses and their power isn't what it once was.
