Ridiculous outfits give the authorities lose-lose problems. Collaring an inflatable animal—or pepper-spraying the costume’s air-vent, as a cop did in Portland—seems heavy-handed. But restraint can look like a concession

15 years ago this was the party of “the founders wanted a well-informed electorate” now they’re intentionally removing good scholarship, whether you agree with all the conclusions or not it’s good scholarship, because it doesn’t align with the conclusions they need they’re facts to fit.
Not even books in National Parks are safe from Trump's campaign to ban books.
