Yikes 😬
The wolf is at the door now. We are at that point in time.

Oh, did I say this country is at the book-banning stage? I meant the book-burning stage. It's not even randos--but an elected official. She flamethrowered library books in her mama's yard. (Because they were books for gay teens.)

I would love to see her do this - and "self-own" by having a fire so big it burns down her house/property.

Is she going to get an "open fire" permit? Because that might be a thing in her area... and if she does it during a drought period - dare I say wildfire...

@JohnJBurnsIII She already did burn the ones she took from the library. In her mom's yard. She probably just wants to go back and torch the whole library.

@_L1vY_ The bill is facially unconstitutional, but someone probably is going to have to get convicted before an appeals court can say so.

@_L1vY_ meanwhile here in Arizona they want to ban ‘spending taxpayer dollars to promote, advocate or plan to, among other examples, reduce motor vehicle traffic through biking or public transit, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, limit increases in global temperatures, reduce consumption of meat or dairy products, or anything “furthering Marxist ideologies including stakeholder capitalism.’’’

Also einfach nur noch e-books benutzen. Die gehören einem ja nicht, da gibt es nur eine Lizenz zur Nutzung. Besitzer bleibt Amazon.

@Life_is
The point is not "How can we still get important books to some people", the point is "The USA is terrifyingly at the open book banning stage of fascism now."

    @shekinahcancook I hope it will not pass but it's outrageous that it even got this far.

    @_L1vY_ Meanwhile the Supreme Court is moving like ents through Fangorn on other stuff. It’s gonna get worse. We need everyone to vote this year.

    Also, next year.

    And the year after that.

    And the year after THAT.

    EVERY year. For state judges. And school boards. And county commissioners.

    It never ends. Never. There is no "win" after which we can quit.

    VoxofGod,

    @CWilbur how about we need to get on people who pretend to be the left alternative to Nazis to not do any genociding?

    How about trying to push them left instead of telling everyone to vote for pieces of crap that are going to do nothing but facilitate fascism?

    Vote harder just makes it easier for them to be more fascist

    @VoxofGod @CWilbur I definitely disagree with your last point. For one thing we’re not just voting for a commander in chief. We’re trying to get to a congress that’s both effective and progressive. And we need massive turnout to make that happen.

    VoxofGod,

    @CWilbur I bet you clutch your pearls enjoy and glee at the thought of such a progressive supporter of Venezuelan coups and killer of Medicaid, #AOC

    There is nothing to be excited about in Congress They are all there to make money preen and watch us die

    Left-wing Trumpers are the worst. You know it's a choice between Biden and Trump, so you choose Trump.

    VoxofGod,

    @TruthSandwich @CWilbur @TruthSandwich

    People like you have made it very clear that there's very little difference between the two You flying that flag makes you look more like a maggot

    There really is very little difference between blue maga and red maga and you just proved that

    TruthSandwich,

    @VoxofGod @TruthSandwich @CWilbur

    Right, that's the false equivalence that you left-wing Trumpers are pushing.

    Only a vote for Biden stops Trump.

    @TruthSandwich @TruthSandwich @CWilbur I reported Vox. They made the conversation hostile. That doesn’t help anyone.
