This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as allude to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...

If the GOP actually cares about transparency, they should pass legislation to ban members of Congress from trading stock. They have the House, Senate, and White House. Democrats should’ve done it already. It’s time. Stop the corruption.

The debt itself is not the emergency. Inequality is. And DOGE is cutting programs for the poor to clear the way for Trump’s tax cuts for corporations and the rich, making it worse. DOGE is a transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top. See it for what it is.

Finally the 1% will get the tax break they so desperately need. 4.5T tax cut. Kidding $0 budget for Medicaid 20% cut to food stamps People will die if this new budget passes. But I guess since no MAGAs use any kind of benefits they will be just fine.

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

It is the darkest of all possible humor that Disney is publicly rolling back their DEI initiatives and removing content warnings from older, racially-insensitive work on the same week that they are releasing a new MCU movie with a Black man as Captain America.
