Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

A lot of takes on this piece, but mine is that the word “We” should be replaced by “I”, as the author/headline took his personal experience and wrongly assumed it was universal. That would fix 90% of the problem

I have been hoping to see a clear statement on this because inflatable frog could be a protestor or an irony-pilled groyper and history books will have to explain that too

I don’t know who that is or what the product is and I’m okay with that

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

If Abbott does nothing, it means he doesn’t care about states’ rights as Republicans have claimed to in my life. I have faith that Pritzker and team will make all of the appropriate filings in a timely manner.
