Newly pardoned January 6 terrorist David Daniel was arrested last year on child sex crime charges and is facing prison time.
That’s 5 dangerous criminals down so far. Let’s keep it going.

Books are always there to transport our minds to other worlds when we are in need of them the most. They can bring us comfort during our loneliest moments. They are truly one of the greatest things in life. 🖤

Don't call it a "detention camp" at Guantanamo.
It's a CONCENTRATION CAMP.

All I can really say at this point is if everyone isn't watching how trans people have lost basic rights and protections on a scale that hasn't been seen in decades in the span of 72 hours and realizing that even if you aren't trans there's nothing stopping it from happening to you, you're a fool

If you call a concentration camp a "detention center," it's still a concentration camp. Just like if you call the Gulf of Mexico, the "Gulf of America," it's still the Gulf of Mexico.

A friend asked me about the potential risk of losing public broadcasting funding. If you're interested, I recommend this comprehensive report from "On The Media," which explains what's always saved CPB funding in the past, and why it might not now.

This is a thread about book banning. Right now, today, books are being pulled from shelves in libraries and classrooms, some by direct order, some in fear of what's coming. This is *exactly* what Project 2025 said was going to happen. Make no mistake: this is not about books; it's about people. 1/8
