The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

At a time when many movie “heroes” of our youth are profoundly disappointing us, by failing to meet the moment, or much MUCH worse, it’s a great relief to see Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill be just who you want them to be.

Yup. It was never just about the books. (And it was never about protecting children either.)
SCOTUS' LGBTQ books decision destabilized secular, public education by effectively giving religious parents a veto over curricula they dislike.
I agree with @mtsw.bsky.social that this case could further harm public schools by making them unsafe for many children. The goal here is pretty clear.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.
