Alabama’s voucher scheme is doing exactly what it was designed to do: drain public schools to subsidize religious indoctrination.
friendlyatheist.com Hemant Mehta @friendlyatheist.com · 1d
Alabama is funneling millions of taxpayer dollars into private schools using textbooks that deny evolution, whitewash history, and attack LGBTQ people.

Kids deserve better than conservative Christian propaganda.

A federal agency quoting scripture isn’t inspirational — it’s unconstitutional.

The only reason to invoke the bible in a government propaganda video is to claim a higher authority than the Constitution, which is where our strength actually comes from.

#OTD in 1877, Anna Sewell's only novel, Black Beauty, was first published. >50MM copies sold making it one of the best-selling books of all time.

She began writing the book in 1871 at age 51, dictating much of it to her mother from her sickbed & died 5 months after its publication. #horses #fiction
Split image: Left – black-and-white Victorian three-quarter view portrait of Anna Sewell, a light-skinned woman with wavy hair parted in the middle, wearing a collared dark with a white collar. Right – modern book cover of Black Beauty featuring a dramatic black horse rearing up in a misty golden forest, with ornate gold title lettering and “Anna Sewell” in white at the bottom.

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.

Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.

+️39 Grand Slam titles
+Founder of the Women's #Tennis Association
+Social justice pioneer
+First female athlete in any sport to earn >$100,000 in a single season, 1971

Portrait of Billie Jean King smiling warmly on a tennis court, wearing red glasses, a white collared shirt, holding a red-and-black tennis racket. The background shows rows of green stadium seats. She has short brown hair and a joyful expression. Photo captures her timeless energy and love for the game.
