Hey everyone, just a reminder:
A little more than a week ago, a Republican terrorist killed two people and injured two more in an effort to kill enough democrats to capture the Minnesota Legislature

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

"Separating the art from the artist" is for people like Picasso, who was a total bastard a very long time ago but also an artistic genius whose work is actually important to human culture
It is not for a mid tier kids' author that is actively trying to eliminate a whole group of people right now

I went into my library's database of Chicago area newspapers to confirm this isn't fake, and it's not.
@chicago.suntimes.com Why the hell are you using ChatGPT to make up book titles? You used to have a books staff. Absolutely no fact checking?

I haven't seen a study that shows causation, but the states that ban the most books also have the worst rates of literacy and that isn't a coincidence.
book bans don't protect kids, they're about defunding public institutions of learning, & are often paired with vouchers, which are *also* unpopular

Honest question, is there any mainstream artists making protest music these days?

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Here’s what I need from Democrats; get in the fucking way. Stand in front of those who will hurt others. We can say “constitutional crisis” all day long, but you have to get in front of them.
Refuse to budge. Don’t back down.

If RFK wants to meaningfully decrease rates of depression, he can support paid family and maternity leave, equal pay for women, universal healthcare, and fully funded public schools.

What search engines do people prefer nowadays? I hate using Google. It takes too much digging to find a useful resource under the AI crap and all the sponsored sites.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

With the ongoing dismantling of our government, the Department of Education and how it helps those with disabilities is especially vulnerable. This website makes it very easy to contact your reps about it. Takes less than a minute: ndsccenter.salsalabs.org/savetheusdoe...

Abolishing the Department of Education will further decimate rural schools...
And, for what? The Dept of Ed does not write curriculum -- that is done at the local and state level. The funding from the department mostly supports economically disadvantaged school systems. The poorest schools...

Yes, everyone is correct. They're not advocating for a "strict meritocracy." Affirmative action is over. They're now suing over the very presence of Black people and Latinos in elite education and white collar careers.
They're advocating for resegregation. Call it out every time.
