I have reinstalled Twitter to respond to this story and make sure my voice is fully heard. I am Casey.
My real name is Alex but my mom decided it would be best to hide it for anonymity. But this is my story, not hers. This is not the free press’s story.

Yesterday Rep Fine of the stated on the House floor that “only” 19 books were removed in St. Johns County due to “pornographic” content.
This information is FALSE. It’s currently 30, and 10% are picture books without sex.

we need more housing but why the hell are we destroying one of the only unique walkable areas in our city to do so?? esp when there are countless empty lots in the area (or land uses like parking lots/garages that can be upzoned)?? so many thoughts, might write an article..

America, students who survived the shooting at Oxford High School 14 months and 2 weeks ago are going through their second mass shooting at Michigan State University tonight.
Let that sink in. Two mass shootings in 14 months.
We need change.
We deserve to grow old.

This girl who was murdered in cold blood will now have her identity lied about in her death. She will be pronounced a man on her death certificate. Because the government decided girls like her aren't old enough for Gender Recognition. This is what they wanted.

Twitter is allowing transphobes to say trans people are mentally, then banning, suspending, and removing tweets by anyone who pushes back against that shameless, dishonest bigotry. This is disgusting

SEVENTY EIGHT. That’s the number of verified child sex-trafficking victims who were groomed and recruited out of Ron DeSantis’ state-run foster care in 2021.
ZERO. That’s how many were recruited from Drag shows.
Guess who’s being investigated. theblaze.com/news/desantis-

Trans women being placed in men's prisons is absolutely abhorrent, and is a practice that must end. Trans women deserve to be protected. But simply saying "trans people should be housed according to their gender" is not going to solve the rampant cruelty of the US prison system.

A girls' school in Iran brought a member of the IRGC-run Basij paramilitary to speak to students. The girls welcomed the speaker by taking off their headscarves & chanting "get lost, Basiji".
Teenage girls have been at the forefront of protests for days.

Wrote a little piece because I'm genuinely scared for my hometown and family. Writing is how I get my emotions out. Any money I make off of this article will be donated to Hurricane Ian relief funds.
