What’s wrong with these people 🤦‍♀️

Reading is good!
Reading is fundamental!
Reading anything and learning to enjoy your mind imagining the story leads to reading more and all sorts of writing!

Can you imagine not being allowed to read a comic book till you were 18 🤦‍♀️

On paper, a California city bans the sale of comic books to kids. Officials want to change that
In the mid-20th century, comic books groups grew in popularity. But some people worried that they were contributing to illiteracy and inciting crime among young people.

Clearly, Trump has learned something from his good friend MBS: If you don't like what your political opponents say, execute them.

Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, that's not what we do in America.
Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

Imagine having to go to work everyday and face the biggest bully in the country. Kudos to those members of the White House press corps courageous enough to ask the tough questions.
Despicable
The bully-in-chief is targeting women in the White House press corps
