A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves.

For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender.

A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984.

Port: It's not just about kids, and it's not just libraries
Legislation under consideration in Bismarck wouldn't just restrict access to books in schools and libraries. The language of the bill also applies to private book stores.

RFK says school shootings are due to anti-depressants. And the number one killer of youth is drug addiction.

FALSE. The number one killer of American youth is GUNS.

School shootings occur bc of GUNS.

Man, they’ll do anything to avoid gun regulation.

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school.

Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.

I guarantee this is part of the deal they’ve worked out. “I’ll grant you the extension, but you have to shut down, and you have to make it clear to all 170 million users that I’m the one who can and will save you.”

Man I really empathize with people’s reactions to TikTok getting banned. I felt the same way when twitter was bought by musk. You spend all this time building something and out of no where you lose everything because of someone making a decision you can’t control

I liked TikTok because I got to be who I really am in my heart: a creepy little lurker who watches everything and says little.

I completely understand TikTok creators being upset that they are losing income. I don’t understand being upset at Dems when Trump & Rs are the ones who started this. Now they suddenly reverse their position to enrich themselves. Wake up, open your eyes, you’re being conned.
