Dumbing children down,is a thing now. Education being attacked is one way they can effectively alter and suffocate history,and replace it with their version.Children need to learn about the genocide in Rwanda,so they know and recognise genocide red flags.If it can happen there it can happen here
The utter tunnel vision indifference to integrity,and just plain human decency is staggering to me. It is like saying to starving people let them eat cake,when there is no cake.
They are just ploughing through democracy,much like they are ploughing through the East wing

“You will never take our joy and our fight. We will continue to throw bricks … and rechalk our crosswalks. And will be louder and more outspoken than ever. We will dance in the streets, tell our stories on-screen, and continue to show the world that we aren’t going anywhere.”
The right to be autonomous,and make decisions about our own lives,is in built.. The need to live as we wish,and to love without fear is not radical,it is just very human.

Me too - and I purchased them just in case certain books start disappearing.
These writers understood,and are yelling at the present generation,a warning. When books are being banned,then, you know that country is in transition,and not in a good way. Books convey thoughts and ideas,as well as warnings.

Agreed m. I’m rereading Brave New World now. Some themes that underlie its plot were lost on me when I was a teen reading them in high school. But now? Very relevant. I got my book at a local second hand bookstore so it was cheap. And I still prefer the feel of a book in the hand vs. E-reader.
There is nothing like disappearing into a book,and climbing a mountain with frodo, samwise and of course Gollom. Journals written in different eras are also a way to understand how we got here.
It simply underscores how important reading is. And how books should never be banned . Education is every child's right.
Thank you. Some of these I read when a youngster. I need to read again I think
This will be part of his legacy. The destruction of someone else's property,the American people's
The irony is,he says that he is not a king,yet,he does,it seems ,whatever he wants to. Does not ask permission. He expects every one to sing the maga mantra,and anyone who does not, is vilified, fired,or prosecuted. There is no "I" in "We the people,by the people And for the people"

He has set a standard now,and not a good one. How many elections will be disputed? Or declared cheating? You attack the vote,and you weaken a democracy. The vote is a consensus in a democracy,that the result will be upheld by all,especially the losers. Trump has weakened this very important pillar

Trump is once again taking credit for something he didn’t do and worse, something that’s actually hurting the very people he claims to protect. His latest boast about tariffs “saving” American cattle ranchers isn’t just misleading; it’s dangerous economic fiction.

Tariffs aren’t some magic shield for American agriculture. They’re a tax plain and simple that raises prices on everything from feed to equipment, and ultimately on the beef that ends up on our dinner tables.

They're stealing seats. We're leveling the field. Prop 50 is California's line of defense against Trump's election rigging.

The days of democrats being on the back foot,need to be over It is time to stop reacting,and start to be proactive instead. And to do it legally,and with a plan.The pillars of the very heart of america ,are being smashed,sometimes brick by brick,or simply with a sledge hammer.just like the East wing

Republicans are already scheming to lock in power they can’t win honestly.

Prop 50 is how we stop them. It puts redistricting back in our hands, not theirs.

A YES vote means fair maps, real representation, and a Congress that answers to voters — not party bosses. VOTE #YesOnProp50
