Books mentioning slavery, civil rights removed from shelves at Fort Campbell schools - ClarksvilleNow.com At an elementary school at Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division, librarians are hard at work scrubbing the shelves for books that contain references to slavery, the civil rights movement...

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.

The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Old friend just laid off by USDA, 1 mos short of his probationary period as senior researcher. Brilliant person who left a tenured faculty position several yrs ago to join USDA. Bright early-career researchers also being laid off. USDA is terminating a generation of highly-qualified scientists.

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Yikes. Also telling on themselves there. It wasn’t about their conscious but who. It’s a bit of a wild take to me to not do the right thing because a stranger on the internet rubbed you the wrong way nah? β€œI was GOING to help people and protect people but I saw a rando TT and i didn’t like it”

I was determined to be as cold hearted as I could to survive this. I’m already broken on day 2. Minors waiting reunification. My god.

They’ve made a vocal resurgence this week blaming anyone and everyone but themselves.

A Little-Known Federal Agency Helps Secure Elections. Trump Wants to Gut It. Read more here.

"Buried deep within Project 2025 β€” the Heritage Foundation’s 900-page blueprint for how the new conservative administration can slide the government into an authoritarian regime β€” is a cursory section suggesting reforms for a relatively new, little-known federal agency."

IG doesn’t show us things nearly the same way. I followed all those people on IG. When I scroll is 30% ads, 30% suggested posts (that don’t really have to do with my interests) and then a smattering of friends. It’s not the same at all.

I learned so much from TT about so many things - laundry, gardening, car repair, finance. I found books again. I was able to correct my assumptions - for example about adoptees. Saw world events from the people who lived them. Politics was only one small part of my TT experience.

Ironically I got the vast majority of my book recommendations & excellent book reviews on TikTok. I read 250+ books last year despite using TikTok as pretty much my only social media.

Your two concepts aren’t mutually exclusive.

The Great Creator Reset The TikTok ban isn't just a platform reconfiguration, it will reshape the political leaning of the creator economy and permanently alter whose voices get heard online.

The TikTok ban permanently reshapes the ideological tilt of the online creator landscape towards the right. Cheering for it in any way is extremely shortsighted www.usermag.co/p/the-great-...

This is deep clarity that Dem leadership has lost touch with real working people (of all backgrounds) and even post election refuses to change.

And this is why I can’t pay their sub anymore. Surprising? They don’t present truth anymore. Just both sides claims as if they’re equally based in facts and in context with no critical examination of past behavior or context.

Perhaps more of the legacy media should have pushed back on his lies at the time. @democracydocket.com did.
