The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

I call the current incompetent criminal now occupying the White House "Dreckmeister." Someone has described the #2 incompetent as "Just Dance Vance." We need to create nicknames for all the MAGAts holding public office. I'd like to start with one for the attorney general: "Bondage."

This is theft. Full stop.

Stealing library books is an act of censorship that encourages and normalizes criminal activity targeting public property. By removing books to silence voices and viewpoints, these individuals seek to indoctrinate and harm young readers. https://bit.ly/3HHERcK
Theft or civil disobedience?
SHELBYVILLE – A local church is urging its members to permanently remove books from the Shelby County Public Library by checking them out and never returning them. The books portray gay characters and historical figures or explore LGBTQ+ themes. Pamela ...

That’s the game now. The official MAGA strategy is Scandal Whac-A-Mole for the convicted felon, business fraud, grifter-in-chief. Every time a real one pops up—like, say, a decades-long relationship with a sex trafficker who belonged on Interpol’s holiday card…

Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel spent $15 million helping JD Vance win a U.S. Senate seat.

That investment is clearly continuing to pay off.

Big money corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to the top.
The Pentagon just announced a no-bid contract that will be awarded to Palantir for "the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the field of geospatial intelligence."

This means Palantir will have unprecedented access to maps, satellite imagery, GPS data, and more.

I'm a fellow Dodger fan (see my photo). In 2000, they chose me as Truest of the Blue. The picture is from the Dodger Dugout Experience at Blue Heaven on Earth, with two of my favorite Dodgers, Justin Turner and Max Muncy.

I enjoyed your July 1 column in the New Republic. I spent half of my junior year and all of my senior year of high school, nearly 70 years ago, in Las Vegas, NV. Every assembly and pep rally began with prayers -- Christian prayers. I'm Jewish, and was offended.

When libraries are adequately funded, it empowers residents, boosts engagement, and enhances the quality of life.
