We refuse to act because we are afraid. We fear what that cleaning will do to us and our position. We become selfish, denying others and ourselves freedom to be who we truly should be. @kevinmkruse.bsky.social @markhamillofficial.bsky.social @markanthonyneal.bsky.social tinyurl.com/2m7ejxzr

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.

Here it is in a nutshell: 1. Trump is an authoritarian. 2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy. 3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2. 4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021. Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that a bunch of fucking 19-year old randos named "Big Balls" should not have access to our most sensitive information, and that should be a bipartisan issue. This is a national security crisis waiting to happen.
