Interesting that there is no @CommunityNotes added to this blatantly misleading reporting on Fox News. Only accurate reporting on DeSantis gets that treatment. https://t.co/RarnDExwF0 — PolitiTweet.org

There are two approaches. You can spend your time trying to predict what a swing voter would care about in a hypothetical election. Or you can talk and write about things you think are genuinely important. I’ll choose the later. Everyone makes their own choice. — PolitiTweet.org

@CollegeBoard @EducationFL UPDATE: The @CollegeBoard has responded, but they are not acknowledging their deception. Previously, they claimed they made all changes BEFORE Florida shared their objections. Now they are admitting Florida shared its objections VERBALLY (not in writing) BEFORE the changes https://t.co/5egePuqgEn — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@CollegeBoard @EducationFL REMEMBER: The College Board previously claimed all revisions were made before Florida's objections That appears to be a lie A lie used to justify the watering-down of an African American history course to appease DeSantis & other right-wing politicians https://t.co/gbpLvOyxlj — PolitiTweet.org

@CollegeBoard @EducationFL ON DECEMBER 7 Florida officials met with the College Board AGAIN and reiterated that the course would not be approved without revisions. The changes were made, according to the College Board, on DECEMBER 22. https://t.co/pNcIAYLKOw — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@CollegeBoard @EducationFL While the College Board claimed that all revisions were made before any objections by Florida officials, Florida officials told the College Board that they would not accept the the course without revisions in SEPTEMBER 2022 The revisions were made in DECEMBER 2022 https://t.co/JlE8TDHzDg — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@CollegeBoard A letter from @EducationFL, shared w/the Daily Caller, documents communications between Florida officials and the College Board about concerns w/the course beginning in JANUARY 22 Specifically, they asked the College Board to explain how the course conformed to the Stop WOKE ACT https://t.co/r8WQdwNLMJ — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

UPDATE: Last week, the @CollegeBoard claimed its AP African American history course wasn't influenced by Florida officials. The College Board claimed it made all revisions BEFORE Florida shared its objections WE NOW HAVE EVIDENCE THIS WAS A LIE https://t.co/gbpLvOyxlj https://t.co/b79Ghwqefe — PolitiTweet.org

10. What's going on in Mississippi's capitol mirrors the situation in the Nation's Capitol, DC. DC, another majority black city, lacks federal representation and true self-rule. — PolitiTweet.org

9. According to the Clarion Ledger, officers from the Capitol Police “were involved in more than a dozen shootings last year.” The police chief attributed the surge in officer-involved student to a community "that’s just not used to being proactively policed." — PolitiTweet.org

7. Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, who would lose control over portions of his city under the bill, said the proposal "reminds me of apartheid." Lumumba said the legislature was attempting to "colonize Jackson" https://t.co/AAabJWgN4t — PolitiTweet.org

6. The expanded district would cover about 50,000 people, about one-third of Jackson's population. The bill would also divert "18.75% of sales tax that would otherwise go to Jackson." https://t.co/AAabJWgN4t — PolitiTweet.org

5. State Attorney General Lynn Fitch (R) "would appoint four prosecutors, a court clerk, and four public defenders for the new district." The state Commissioner of Public Safety, Sean Tindell, "would oversee an expanded Capitol Police force." — PolitiTweet.org

4. The chief justice of the Mississippi Supreme Court, Michael K. Randolph, would appoint judges to oversee a new district within Jackson — "one that includes all of the city’s majority-white neighborhoods, among other areas." — PolitiTweet.org
