Just before the author Ryan Holiday was scheduled to deliver a lecture at the U.S. Naval Academy, he was asked not to mention the recent removal of 381 supposedly controversial books from the campus library. Holiday refused, and the talk was canceled. This is the story he was going to tell.

I did something yesterday which may sound v. old-fashioned but which I recommend in these insane times where knowledge is under attack. I took out an annual subscription of The Encyclopedia Britannica. Costs 75 $ per year. Excellent gift for your student children, too. Don‘t rely on google.

Dear American friends—so encouraging to see crowds turning out &taking a stand for democracy! #HandsOff #April5
And to those of us watching from Europe: let’s finally correct that fact-free narrative that “there’s no resistance” in the US. Street protests are *far more frequent* than during Trump I

#handsoff #50501
Gigantic crowd in NYC for the #HandsOff march against Trump, Musk, and MAGA. So many people that the participants can barely move along. Signs decrying Trump and Co. on many fronts: immigration, science, Social Security, reproductive rights, tariffs, autocracy, kleptocracy & the price of eggs.
