I’d rather powwow with a gaggle of drags queens or trans people than a motley crew of MAGA’s any day of the week. How about you? – at Los Angeles, CA

Amanda Gorman was the first person to be named National Youth Poet Laureate, not an easy feat.
A Florida school has banned the poem she read at Biden’s inauguration.
Which part caused the “white discomfort?”
Was it because Amanda is a skinny Black girl? You know how racists feel about Black girls.
Was it when she mention being descended from slaves? We know DeSantis says there barely were slaves.
Is it the part where she dared to dream of becoming president? Y’all know how they feel about a Black President. Hell, they are pissed about Kamala.
Maybe because Amanda Gorman’s work focuses on issues of race and oppression, feminism, and marginalization.
Maybe it’s as simple as she’s Black, intelligent, and beautiful.
Thank DeSantis for making Florida unrecognizable. We will never allow him to become president. #FreshWords

TODAY IN HISTORY
1911 — New York Public Library dedicated.
2023 — Florida school library bans “The Hills We Climb," the poem written & read by Amanda Gorman at Joe Biden’s inauguration.
Ron DeSantis doesn't want you to hear this poem, so I'm posting it here.
Pass it on.
.
Daily Salinas, a parent of two students at at Bob Graham Education Center in Miami Lakes, challenged the following five books for what she said included references of critical race theory, “indirect hate messages,” gender ideology and indoctrination:
1. The ABCs of Black History
2. Cuban Kids
3. Countries in the News Cuba
4. The Hills We Climb
5. Love to Langston

Surprising absolutely no one, the parent who complained to the School Board and got Amanda Gorman’s poem banned in FL is affiliated with Mom’s for Liberty [modern day ‘United Daughters of the Confederacy’] and the Proud Boys, a white supremacist and domestic terrorist group.

Now the poem that Amanda Gorman read at President Biden’s inauguration, entitled “The Hill We Climb,” has been banned from curriculum through 5th grade in Miami-Dade County, for not being suitable for elementary students.
For those who listened to the poem, you would know the the poem was a lecture on peace, love, unity, and freedom.
This is why laws banning critical race theory from schools are a problem. People begin categorizing anything that talks about race as falling into the realm of CRT. Or they use the law to justify removing books and curriculum that can teach real history.
This isn’t free speech. This is using the law to chill the free speech of others, in my opinion.

The Nazi mom, member of Klanned Karenhood, who filed a complaint about Amanda Gorman's poem, listed Oprah Winfrey as the author.
They get pissed when you accuse them of racist stereotypes, then they demonstrate racist stereotypes CONSTANTLY.
These people are fucking ridiculous.

So they ban my book from young readers, confuse me with @oprah , fail to specify what parts of my poetry they object to, refuse to read any reviews, and offer no alternatives…Unnecessary #bookbans like these are on the rise, and we must fight back 👊🏿 DONATE here: instagram.com/linking/fundra…

BREAKING: South Carolina Democrats demand that the state's Republican Gov. Henry McMaster apologize for jaw-droppingly violent remarks made at a recent GOP convention.
Over the weekend, McMaster told an audience that he looks "forward to the day that democrats are so rare, we have to hunt them with dogs.”
The comment was clearly designed to evoke images of Republicans chasing and shooting Democrats dead — a horrifying suggestion during a time when political violence is on the rise. In the south, it's undeniable that his words could be also be construed as a call for lynchings.
Over and over again we see Republican voters taking their fetishized guns and carrying out violent, murderous acts after seeing some deranged conspiracy theory on Fox News or hearing some GOP politician spew hatred.
The Democratic Party in Anderson and Charleston counties have put out a petition on the DNC website calling on the governor to “apologize and retract this racially-tinged dog whistle.”
If he fails to apologize, Democrats want the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division to “open an investigation into this threat and incitement of political violence.”
Retweet if you think that we should skip the apology and move right to the investigation!

So the American Taliban (aka New Republican Party) are in search of a new conspiracy. Let’s have fun by walking back in time & look at their failed investigations….
The Laptop - This was the pinnacle of their investigation until Hunter turned the tables on them. I’m still trying to figure out what govt job Hunter held that would warrant a congressional investigation.
The Biden Crime Family - After Laptop Gate, they tried to make Joe Biden into supervillain Lex Luther. I never did understand this one. On one hand they calling him Dementia Joe, Slow Joe or Sleepy Joe but then contradict themselves by making him a criminal mastermind. Ultimately they had nothing.
The Durham Report - This report supposedly was going to say that Trump was clear & all the Democrats were guilty of everything from the Jack The Ripper murders to the Mount Vesuvius destruction of Pompeii. Someone should have told them that you need to “read” the report before reporting on what it says. 🤷🏽♂️
All this leads now to Hillary Clinton. Yes they’re now opening investigations into Hillary…AGAIN! This won’t be the end of it. I’m sure they’ll soon bring in the descendants of Roman soldiers to tie Democrats to the execution of Jesus & how Trump played a key part in his resurrection!
We can stop this nonsense & get back to governing by simply voting Blue!

BREAKING: WOW! Trump asked for 21 days to respond to Fani Willis. I thought the judge would give him a week tops. The judge gave him NONE! “The court has received 500 pages from trump. That’s plenty. There will be no more briefings unless solicited by the court.” HAHAHA
