BREAKING: In response to our lawsuit, the National Endowment for the Arts will no longer force grant applicants to certify that they won't promote "gender ideology."
This is a big step toward defeating the NEA's unconstitutional censorship.

I genuinely do not understand why it would be difficult for anyone to stop using Amazon
I keep seeing well-meaning people posting things like “it’s okay if you cut back even a little bit!”
like, what absolute necessities are folks getting from Amazon that they absolutely can’t get elsewhere?
