The only way any bit this chaos makes any sense is if Trump and Musk want us to be weaker, poorer, dumber, sicker, more vulnerable, more divided, less informed, less resilient, and less safe. The thing to ask ourselves is *why*. Who benefits when these things are true? Not us, clearly.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the shuttering of the Office of Net Assessment, a small, often secretive and sometimes opaque office that for more than 50 years has helped the Pentagon’s most senior leaders think about the future of war.

According to sources, the sound of his Cabinet members’ voices was essentially white noise […]

I have been soft lobbying for the ALA to change Banned Books Week to Freedom to Read / Readers’ Choice week for like a decade bc of this very impression. Having a banned book is not a positive thing. It’s an attack.
Just an FYI for people who may be new to the book banning stuff, when your books are banned it does not mean you’re on “the right side.” It means that your art (and probably you too) is being targeted by right wing extremists for erasure. It means you are being silenced. It’s NOT GOOD.

Utah just banned its 15th book from every single public school in the state.
Not only does DAMSEL now need to be removed from every school, students are not permitted to have it on school premises at all, even if it's their personal copy.

UT has banned ANOTHER book: Damsel (Printz Award Honor Book) by @elanakarnold.bsky.social. Given the new USBE guidance, it's not only illegal for schools to have it on the shelf, it's illegal for students to have such literary contraband on their person!
