This isn't a one-off. The long term agenda of the "anti-woke" movement shows that the goal is undoing a century of progress.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has been quietly closing down school libraries, often in the poorest neighborhoods, after replacing elected school officials with people he’s appointed.

This story is absolutely terrible, and everyone involved in the raid, from the judge who signed the warrant to the cops who executed it, and everyone in between, should—absent some MNight-in-his-prime twist at the end—be fired.
SCOOP: The Kansas newspaper raided Friday by cops had been investigating allegations of sexual misconduct by the chief of police at his previous job.

![excerpt from link: EM: So the backstory that we haven't told, because we don't wanna get in trouble, is that we've been investigating the police chief [Gideon Cody]. When he was named Chief just two months ago, we got an outpouring of calls from his former co-workers making a wide array of allegations against him saying that he was about to be demoted at his previous job and that he retired to avoid demotion and punishment over sexual misconduct charges and other things.
We had half a dozen or more different anonymous sources calling in about that. Well, we never ran that because we never could get any of them to go on the record, and we never could get his personnel file. But the allegations—including the identities of who made the allegations—were on one of the computers that got seized. I may be paranoid that this has anything to do with it, but when people come and seize your computer, you tend to be a little paranoid.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ejihld4sywvvqwe67cdkn4jq/bafkreia6voh4vd6xqohfa6zfzn56ifbrq3lsbbbkpgi4b32zt7x73ml2iu@jpeg)
