first book banners told us it was just about what was in schools
then they came for books in the public libraries
then they started getting book stores for carrying certain stock
now I'm hearing about little free libraries being shut down
also a reminder that Utah still has a book destruction law.

Your daily reminder that protesting a tyrannical government and participating in acts of civil disobedience are the most American things you can do.

You know what, I think that Avenue Q was right about what the internet was for.
I'd also like to add that the internet is also for cute animal photos/videos.
But yes, also this.

Getting real tired of it overwhelmingly being women who have the courage to publicly do the right thing.
Dr. Susan Monarez: “I could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”

If you’re still out here pitching a narrative that leftists and progressives are the reason we’re about to have troops in our streets and complaining instead of noticing that it’s leftists and progressives who are taking the streets to defend your sorry ass, fuck all the way off.

the Nazis literally tried to discover Atlantis because they thought Atlanteans were aryans and would prove German racial superiority
Fascism has always been anti-intellectual and full of pseudoscience

That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
