A few thoughts on the selective release of the Covenant School shooter's writings: To be clear, because the trolls are seriously misconstruing this issue, @NC5 has previously requested those documents, but those have NOT been provided to us. That question is now tied up in court. It is out of our hands. You can draw conclusions based on three selectively released pages (and why someone would only release three), but those pages do NOT tell the whole story. While some want to believe these pages are evidence of an anti-White hate crime (where a White person shot a Black man), I am told the writings are filled with all sorts of hate directed at people of various identities. The Covenant families have their own legitimate reasons to want to minimize their pain, which is why they have not wanted any pages to be released. Instead, as I feared, in our current political environment, the lack of transparency has only fueled conspiracy theories especially among those who desperately want to create their own narratives. That, unfortunately, is where we find ourselves today. (Given the coordinate attacks today from those with agendas, reposts are appreciated!)

“PAINKILLER” on Netflix tells the story of the deadly opioid crisis that has ravaged our communities. As you watch keep in mind @MarshaBlackburn’s bill made it harder for the DEA to stop it — while filling her pockets with Big Pharma💰: apnews.com/article/c597ff… @VoteGloriaJ

An interesting read: “The right to a gun, the NRA insists, supersedes all other rights, including the right to life.”

If guns are the problem, how can even more guns be the solution? This is the toxic logic of a gun culture premised on the false belief there is a right to a gun grounded in the Constitution. uscatholic.org/articles/20230…

🚨 Former asst. @TNedu commissioner @MBatiwalla rips @GovBillLee’s TN ED Dept’s push to assign letter grades to schools as an effort to harm our public schools to expand Lee’s vouchers program to help him and his privatization co-conspirators. Our schools are under attack.

“I wish the library never stopped using the Dewey Decimal System.” “We actually still use it. I think you mean the card catalog.” “Same thing, what’s the difference.” “Well, the Dewey Decimal System is a detailed method of organizing information. The card catalog is furniture.”

Paid family leave isn’t “socialism” Gunsense isn’t “socialism” Expanding Medicaid isn’t “socialism” Legalizing marijuana isn’t “socialism” Women’s freedom isn’t “socialism” Backing unions isn’t “socialism” They call @VoteGloriaJ a “socialist” bc she wants to help regular folks.

The Fault in Our Stars has been removed from the YA section in the suburbs of Indianapolis and is now considered a "book for adults." This is ludicrous. It is about teenagers and I wrote it for teenagers. Teenagers are not harmed by reading TFIOS. This is such an embarrassment to the city of @FishersIN.
