For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

To folks who think caving on things like “Lake America” doesn’t matter in the long run…
It does.
It invites more such ego-serving
It suggests that there’s no push back.
It teaches people to expect more of the same.

It’s never been about actually protecting kids.
About 0.5% of transgender kids play sports at the high school level.
About 400,000 students have experienced gun violence at school since Columbine.
About 80% of states require active shooter drills in schools.
The only statistic Republicans want you to care about is the first one.

Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor
when we began steel magnolias rehearsals 
i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours?
Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it!
i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that

Relatable.

If you’re a baseball fan who chants “U-S-A, U-S-A” at Blue Jays fans who are visiting your ballpark, you’re a piece of shit and a disgrace. Just wanted to let you know. 🙂 #BlueJays

Shameful.
Blanche’s confirmation underscores a simple truth: a handful of Republicans in Congress could stop this chaos tomorrow. They simply choose not to.

As an educator, I am concerned about the destruction of truth. There is a concerted effort to wipe away the importance of truth across the board — an attempt to make trusted authorities into optics of suspicion.
We must keep defending all the brave, courageous truth-tellers out there.

Love this. Flagler is a huge part of teaching FL history to fourth graders. Our St. Augustine field trip always included a group photo at Flagler College and riding by gorgeous Flagler’s Memorial Presbyterian Church— he built it to honor his daughter who died after childbirth.
Sara Wiles is a Florida native and activist who helps people better understand political issues shaping their lives and communities. Wiles tells how Henry Flagler defied his critics to build the "impossible" Overseas Railroad to Key West. #WeAreAmerica250

Florida’s House had a GOP super majority 20-8 until this year’s redistricting gave them a super-duper majority of 24-4. This flip is a step in the right direction.
Democrats have officially flipped a Florida House district blue after the Republican candidate failed to submit her required paperwork.

In my city, a local school named after Robert E. Lee made the decision to change its name to Roberto Clemente Middle School. Love this quote.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

Because you’re lying
BASH: But it peeled off. Why did that happen?
BURGUM: It didn't peel off. There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been 7 arrests.
BASH: There are photographs of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool?
BURGUM: Dana, I'm not sure why you keep questioning it
