I use colorful language. If that bothers you then you should look elsewhere for a more family-oriented banter.

For Monday of Banned Books Week, we explore the Comstock Acts, enacted in 1873 and 1909. While we tend to think of this federal law today in terms of efforts to restrict access to birth control and abortion medications, they originally targeted literature as well. (Thread)

Q
What Are the Origins of the Comstock Act?
In 1873 - at the behest of anti-vice crusader, Anthony Comstock - Congress enacted a law banning the interstate mailing and receiving of
"obscene, lewd, or lascivious" writings, or "any article or thing designed or intended for the prevention of conception or procuring an abortion." In 1909, Congress enacted a similar law banning the use of express company or common carrier (such as FedEx or UPS) to mail
"any drug, medicine, article, or thing designed, adapted, or intended for preventing conception or producing abortion, or for any indecent or immoral use." These laws came to be known collectively as the Comstock Act. The scope of what constituted obscene or lewd material was far broader at the time, and in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Comstock Act was used to prosecute a wide array of violations.

How the Comstock Act became inactive for books
• Passed in 1873: The original Comstock Act made it illegal to send "obscene, lewd, or lascivious" materials through the U.S. mail, which was interpreted to cover a broad range of publications, including anatomy books and classic literature.
• Obscenity standard narrowed: Over decades, court rulings progressively narrowed the scope of what is considered legally obscene, limiting the act's reach. Key Supreme Court decisions, including Roth v. United States (1957) and Miller v.
California (1973), established a more precise definition of obscenity, making it much harder to prosecute the mailing of books.
• Free speech protections: Subsequent First Amendment challenges further protected free speech rights, rendering the Comstock Act obsolete for censoring non-obscene publications.
As a result, the mailing of most magazines and books is now considered common and legal.
• Modern focus is different: Today, enforcement of the Comstock Act's obscenity provisions is focused almost exclusively on child and violent pornography.

How dystopian can we get? It’s surreal but not unexpected for those of us who knew what Project 2025 was going to unleash.

The Trump Reich has arrived.

So teaching the truth about America's racist past makes children hate themselves & country?

History class must have traumatized this snowflake.🔥☕️😏

The heinous nature of this comes from nothing but a place of pure evil. None of this should be happening, and none of it would be if we had a leader who cared about something other than cruelty, vengeance and hate. A blood thirsty administration intent on inflicting as much pain as possible…

THERE’S NO BOTTOM WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

Operation “Freaky Friday”, a calculated scheme targeting some of the most vulnerable people in the country: immigrant children.

ICE is sending letters offering minors $2,500 for “voluntary” departure, while threatening enforcement if they refuse.
