Are you terrified (of this administration) or tariffied (because of imposed tariffs) or both? I think we need to add tariffied to the dictionary, don't you? Vowels matter.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

I came across this in my stuff from my grassroots lobbying days with the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA). A couple of decades later, Musk's regime threatens an ever-increasing number of inherently governmental jobs.

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like
-check them out regularly at the library
-request the library order them if they don’t have them
-buy them
-start or support banned book clubs
-organize a banned book kids story time
A real shame
