NEW: I’m proposing an amendment to the US Constitution to help end our nation’s gun violence crisis. The 28th Amendment will enshrine 4 widely supported gun safety freedoms – while leaving the 2nd Amendment intact. Add your name if you agree that the time to act is now:

"Turns out [Sunak] is as much of a mendacious narcissistic sociopath as his previous boss" Comedian Ben Elton describes #BBCLauraK's interview with PM Rishi Sunak as "an extraordinary, Orwellian, meaningless, evasive word salad" bbc.in/44gC1RF

These are the pages of my inaugural poem that an objecting parent cited as "not educational and have indirectly hate messages". And now because of that one complaint, my poem is now banned for elementary school students at a school in @MiamiDadeCounty.
In case anyone is wondering what pages 12 and 13 say, here they are. Someone please tell me what is hateful about this…

Why it's hard to explain the 1980's. Everything was a good idea. #MothersDay

Really worth watching #georgemichaelouted on @Channel4 but be warned- it’s utterly heartbreaking. A reminder how homophobic the tabloids were and how gay men were vilified during the 80’s especially. 😔 – at Manchester, England

I have never, ever seen a takedown like this. Stop what you’re doing and watch.
State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nation’s first anti-red flag law. He thinks these bills protect the Second Amendment – and that they make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other. Watch it on @AppleTVPlus.

This is all so sad. So many people are so thoroughly convinced of a stolen election that never was. I'm under no illusion that anyone will change their tune. We seem to be hardwired to justify our positions no matter what. It would be nice to move on though.

Let’s talk about ADHD in a factual manner instead of the click baity, damaging and quite frankly wildly inaccurate manner that Dominic Lawson in @thetimes a nasty opinion’ piece did yesterday. It seems that @spectator shared a similar hatchet job by Julie Birchill yesterday too.
