"The Free State of Florida" once again banned more books than any other state — for the third year running. More than 2,000 books were pulled off of shelves last year.

Report: Florida is No. 1 in school book removals and restrictions for third year in a row

The state had more than 2,300 titles removed from shelves or restricted last school year, according to data released by a national free expression organization.

Delighted that Cory is having a moment with "Enshittification," because it's an accurate word for what's happening in tech and he's the right person to describe it.

Apparently the dude Andrea Baccarelli also took $150K to give evidence against Tylenol. www.thetimes.com/us/american-...

Scientist behind Trump’s Tylenol claims was paid $150K to give evidence against drug maker

The Harvard academic Andrea Baccarelli gave an ‘unreliable’ testimony on the links between autism and paracetamol, and produced research that raises ‘serious concerns about bias’

Every #autistic person is hurt by this regime and their mythology about ‘fighting #autism and seeing it as a ‘tragedy’ — and the push for a ‘cure.’ So much harm is being done.

Eat. Sleep. Exercise. Nurture the relationships that sustain you. Protect your health. Find joy. Don't mistake any of these for the resistance itself. Joy isn't resistance, neither is rest. But you need to be whole to resist for a lifetime.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

From me for @rollingstone.com:

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.
