After #Nixon left office, his #AG #JohnMitchell was convicted of crimes relating to the reelection. He was imprisoned and disbarred. Nixon never got in trouble.

You work for a 34 x felon who never spent a day in jail. Ever wonder what’s going to happen you?

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

Censorship is so 1984.’ This year’s #BannedBooksWeek theme couldn’t be more fitting. Across the country, extremists are erasing diversity, rewriting history, and silencing marginalized voices. Buy the books.
Read them.
Share them.
Keep every story alive.
