moms for liberty is fighting against the freedom to read act. they don’t even pretend anymore—censorship is the whole point. if your movement’s biggest fear is kids reading books, you are the villain.

moms for liberty wants “transparency” in schools, but let’s be real—that’s just code for more book bans, more censorship, and more control. they don’t want kids to think, they want them to obey. i hate these terrible people.

jodi picoult. john green. banned. this isn’t about “protecting kids”—it’s about erasing stories that make people uncomfortable. if your ideology can’t handle books, maybe it’s the problem. seriously, wtf.

Ray Bradbury said, ‘You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.’ That’s where we are. But here’s the good news: WE STILL HAVE THE BOOKS. So read them, share them, and remind these book banners that their fear of ideas isn’t our problem—it’s theirs.

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

#BREAKING: Over 36,000 people rallied in Los Angeles today in support of @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social’s OLIGARCHY TOUR — setting a record as their largest stop on this tour.

DC RUMORS: MTG and her mother are being investigated for insider trading.

Senator Sanders and Reps. Ocasio-Cortes, Jayapal, and Khanna rising to the occasion.

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

As Passover begins, I am reposting my open letter to Elon Musk. I wrote it in response to his attacks on me and his suggestion that I suffer from “generational trauma.” It has been the most viral piece I have ever written and I continue to be moved by the positive feedback.

Rufo often shifts his justifications for withdrawing federal funds from universities. Sometimes it’s supposedly horrible administrators. Other times, it’s critical race theory. But this quote about his admiration for Lenin makes the real motive clear: the reasons are beside the point.

The law firm Skadden, Arps, was widely admired, but now associates are resigning in protest of the firm's submission to Trump. Join us as we explore the implications for law, ethics, and accountability on the latest episode of The Oath and the Office. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

@democracyprof.bsky.social On a recent podcast, someone said John Roberts chose to kick the can down the road/give the president immunity, because they didnt think Trump would win in 2024. So a supreme court ruling on what's constitutional is conditional on politics???

I posted to him about my wife’s experience. We moved & filled out new voter registration forms with our new address. They misspelled her maiden name. It took years to get them to correct it even after submitting the documentation.
