New from @jaxtrib.org | A communication breakdown within the JSO dispatch system led multiple officers on a frenzied search for the wrong car in the wake of a fatal drive-by shooting. An officer shot a 14-year-old boy who had nothing to do with the crime.

NEW: The Trump administration sent Head Start employees a six-page list of "prohibited words" for grant applications, including terms like: disabilities, tribal, Black, and women.

The administration wants to erase communities and block access to early childhood services. We'll see them in court.

How did President Obama’s surprise at #crookedcon2025 come about? It started with a quiet message from his team. It ended with 3,000 screaming libs and a front row one foot away from a former president.

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

No Kings March in Jacksonville, Florida: This afternoon, I proudly marched along with thousands of pro-America, pro-Democracy, and pro-Freedom of Speech folks. We started at a local park, marched over a bridge, and ended outside the local Duval County Courthouse.

“In my language arts methods course, one of the topics is selecting a ‘diversity’ of texts to engage student leaders,” UNF Professor John White said. “That has nothing to do with DEI. That’s the word ‘diverse’ as in a myriad, or plethora.”

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.
