Trump doesn’t dance. Doesn’t need a ballroom. Whatever that herky jerk thing is that he does to YMCA isn’t dancing. Save us hundreds of millions of dollars. Somebody give him a disco ball. Also doubles as a soothing sleep aid 🤷‍♀️🙄

The irony of the White House's East Wing, in which First Ladies have worked ever since Rosalynn Carter became the first First Lady to make her office there, being razed by a serial rapist and Epstein co-sex trafficker, is not lost on me.

That would imply they're taking any precautions to preserve anything historical.

Trump is destroying this portion of the White House complex for his twinkle-toed dancing ballroom.

No Kings in red Grand Haven, MI. 🚫👑 Roughly 1000 people on a busy intersection. Lots of honks and cheers and smiling faces, only a few thumbs down and screeching tires. We settled on chanting “USA!” at the haters. 😍

When a book is no longer carried in libraries or bookstores, people can’t read it. They can’t buy it. And eventually publishers choose not to buy more books from that author. #censorship #bannedbooks #writingcommunity

Censorship, Banned Books, and Being Silenced - Melanie Hooyenga

Some say it's a badge of honor to have a book banned, but many authors have chosen to stop writing for teens and children because of the controversy.

When I first declared my sabbatical I told people it would be roughly a year, but I knew it might be longer, and while I’ve been back at it for many months, reflecting on my time “off” now feels like an official conclusion to that chapter of my life. www.melaniehoo.com/2025/06/03/t...

Two years ago I announced that I was taking a sabbatical from writing. I was burned out, exhausted, frustrated, and ready to be done with all this.
