Donald Trump's executive order would make it harder for millions to register to vote, would disenfranchise voters Trump doesn't like, and give power to election deniers to overturn elections they don't win.

This is the greatest threat to democracy right now and it must be stopped.

Dear Senate:

Resist the BS CR—for all our sakes. Let the Repugnant Party own their fecal tornado.

The End.

May the Good Lord protect this Holy Man, and protect the papacy from the right-wing nut-job Opus Dei adherents who will tear our Holy Mother Church to advance their political views.

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
