We'll have more to share in the coming days. But what can you do right now? Call Congress. Call your state and local officials. Tell them exactly what's at stake if the President's order stands: the future of America's libraries.

Facts are a political liability in a country led by liars
"We're going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes, similar to X, starting in the U.S," Mark Zuckerberg announces

He asserts that "the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased, and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the U.S."

the other thing we dont discuss at all is that the biggest consumer of manosphere stuff isnt 18 year olds, its 35-40 year old assholes with a nice car and lucrative job who still dont get why nobody likes them
