Wisconsin bill requiring warning labels on explicit content draws concern from literacy advocates Assembly Bill 961 passed the Wisconsin State Assembly last month on a 61โ€“34 vote after debate among lawmakers over how to address explicit material accessible to children.

Another "protect the kids" bill that would ultimately be used to force a narrow, conservative view of appropriate material that leads to greater censorship

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

GOP group targets Black voters with mailer comparing Virginia redistricting to Jim Crow The Virginia Legislative Black Caucus endorsed the redistricting effort Monday and condemned the imagery in the mailer.

NEW: A GOP-tied group targeted Black Virginians with manipulative mailers on the stateโ€™s redistricting special election, claiming โ€œJust like Jim Crow, [Democrats] want to silence your voice.โ€

While it provided no detailed information on the measure, it did depict Ku Klux Klan imagery.

David Roberts: "I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

It is repulsive to me -- morally, aesthetically, politically -- on a scale that I genuinely don't know how to describe. It's just so deeply, deeply gross, to be so filled with weakness that you abuse other, weaker people to feel better. What a horrible kind of human, to do that, to *allow* that.

Not one of these ghouls knows a trans kid, understands anything about the actual circumstances or humanity of trans kids, or gives a shit. To them, trans kids play a purely symbolic role: they are a Weak Other that can be abused as form of collective self-soothing. So fucking gross."

Iโ€™m jealous. The โ€œrepresentativesโ€ on the other side of the mountain are just having a town hall to explain how Democrats are planning to steal the election. Runionโ€™s words, not mine.

Our strength lies not only in our military capabilities, but in our democratic values enshrined in the constitution and in the institutions that uphold them. Neither must become collateral damage.

Let me be crystal clear on something: were this law to be passed, every one of the 13 states with Freedom to Read laws would cease to have those laws to protect them anymore.

We have poured so much energy into those state lawsโ€“which matter, hear meโ€“but they are not going to solve the big issue.

A White House Staffer Appears to Run Massive Pro-Trump X Account A popular right-wing account that called a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes "a masterpiece" appears to be run by a White House staffer, according to records reviewed by WIRED.

Hours after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good, the Trump administration was already shaping the narrative. White House accounts flooded social media with clips of burning flags and clashes with federal immigration agents, casting protestersโ€”not the killingโ€”as the story.
