Read this thread 👇 Pay attention. Respond to calls for action. And, like Kelly says, give a shit! The time to start caring started FOUR YEARS AGO. Book banners have been engaged in organized, widespread attacks since 2021. Librarians have been sounding the alarm. Please listen before it’s too late.
You may remember that in August, the Middle District Court of Florida ruled in favor of plaintiffs in a lawsuit over book bans in the state. He said none of the books were obscene: bookriot.com/penguin-rand...
"None Of These Books Are Obscene": Judge Strikes Down Much of Florida's Book Ban Bill
In a major win for intellectual freedom, a judge rules against Florida law that led to removing hundreds of books from school libraries.

Maybe I get Trump’s attacks on Ilhan Omar. She came on a rare Einstein visa, had an anchor baby & has no public service record since 2006.
Wait. That’s Melania.
Ilhan Omar became a citizen in 2000 after 8 years of vetting and has decades of public service fighting for working people and democracy.

This seems obvious to me.
A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income.
A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income.
Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

BREAKING: Trump's head of Social Security says raising the retirement age "will be considered."
That's a betrayal of Trump's campaign promise to protect Social Security.

We are witnessing a full blown war on science, public health & truth itself.
Let me be clear: Vaccines have prevented more than 1.1 million deaths, 500 million cases of illness & 32 million hospitalizations.
That's a lot of moms and dads who don't have to bury their children.

I think most people have no clue how bad things are going to get here in America under trump's batshit crazy policies.
American soybean farmers don’t have a single order from China as they head into harvest season. China usually buys 25% of the entire crop.
Crisis looms for the farmers and there’s only one man responsible.
