The GOP is a party built in large part on rape apologia and for some reason Democrats remain terrified of being called dangerous by these absolute projection-monsters. Anyway, don’t trust them to do the right thing. They will not without us making our voices heard.

I need for you to read this thread and to act accordingly. They are coming harder than ever before for speech with the intention of classifying anything they don’t like as porn. Brush up on this, speak against it, contact officials, show up at offices, tell your friends and audiences about this.
Sen. Mike Lee has introduced the SCREEN ACT, a bill that applies the "harmful to minors" standard used to ban LGBTQ+ books and resources in schools and libraries... and apply it nationally—to the internet.

What librarians have been Cassandra'ing since 2020. This was always the endgame for this current wave of book bans. It's never been about the books, it's about erasing options and imposing fascism.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

There's been a lot of discussion on here about Harris but I don't see anyone framing the race as Trump underperforming when you compare his results to other non incumbent parties around the world. He's dangerous but we shouldn't delude ourselves thinking he's in an unassailable position.
