As someone on the spectrum I am aghast at these fascists crediting my mom’s use of Tylenol rather than my own ingenuity and dedication.

“What happens in Lamar, will not stay in Lamar. The same people, organizations, & groups successfully lobbied the Texas legislature for laws they believe will make it easier to criminalize educators & librarians, & for them to remove books”
No - this is not the latest satirical headline at @theonion.com This is reality for the 49,000+ students who attend Lamar Consolidated ISD schools.

Sauron emerged from the primordial Middle Earth-devouring darkness of the venue’s green room with a deep sigh. After a rousing performance of his first song of the night, his eye filled with blood. You could hear a pin drop. Voice quaking, he said, “He died too young. This one’s for Charlie.”

At this point I can’t help but wonder if legacy media corporations are giving a glow-up to the fascist to win over the nebulous “middle” with a show of performative civility…or because they’re owned by frikkin billionaires who are in fact benefited by fascist policies. Never mind, it’s both.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Eliminating funding for the research of diseases such as Ebola seems to suggest that we're all very comfortable with people contracting, and spreading, Ebola without any access to treatment or cures.

If you thought changing LCSH was bad, wait til we get a full-throated crony as the new head of the LOC.
Trump is going to appoint the new Librarian of Congress next year, who will oversee the Copyright Office. The position used to be a lifetime appointment but was changed to 10 years shortly before a Black woman took office because a white man refused to retire.

Curtailing people’s ability to read widely and carefully, to locate, assess, and compare different sources for themselves, and to write in their own voice about what they find and what it means, is arguably more effective than censorship. It is also one of the most obvious effects of generative AI.

This is the "stock prices can be manipulated" part.
I think it's a mistake to focus on stock prices in this moment. As we've seen, stock prices can be manipulated, and don't represent the real economy. If the stock market were to reverse course are we going to start singing this administration praises?

A new report reveals the vast majority of those demanding book bans are organizations or officials — not individual parents.
It’s NOT a parent’s rights movement at all.
It’s an astroturf campaign that these orgs are using to gain power over Americans.

Report shows it’s largely officials and orgs demanding book bans - not parents
Only 16 percent of book challenges came from parents themselves

The constitution is deeply flawed, and ignoring its messiness gets us nowhere. Also, you’d be better off prepping for this scenario by getting your PR messaging sorted out rather than hoping the court will save us.
the people getting mad at mark for this take are sending me.
he's just doing his job, people. and what he's saying is absolutely correct.
and given all the fuckery afoot, i find it more astonishing that people are mad at the lawyer man explaining what the law says because TRUMP CAN'T DO THAT.

This is a very alarming constitutional gray area and Trump is floating it because he’s taking it seriously. Ignoring the ambiguities in the 12th and 22nd Amendments won’t make them go away! slate.com/news-and-pol...
