A big thank you to all in the โ€œkid litโ€ publishing industry who are defending the right to read.

I grew up in the Chicago area, and Iโ€™m proud to say we wouldnโ€™t have taken Trumpโ€˜s crap back then.

Nor do I remember the right being upset about political violence on January 6. But they did celebrate when those criminals were pardoned.

Absolutely. But anyone else who is unstable should have unlimited access to weapons. Red flag laws are merely barriers to freedom.

Re: the killer in Minnesota: a name change was approved by a district court in in 2020, changing the name of a Robert Westman to Robin Westman, explaining the minor child "identifies as a female.โ€

What's behind the Trump administration's immigration memes? White supremacist tropes and ironic viral jokes illustrate the administration's project of redefining who belongs in the United States.

These deportation memes are beyond description. Thus, the only possible alt text is, โ€œvisual disgust.โ€

@johnwade74.bsky.social is a scammer. Military policy: Personal accounts must be clearly identified as such. They shouldnโ€™t not use DOD titles/uniforms/symbols in a way that could imply DOD sanction. Any profile w/a service member in uniform & a rank is likely not legitimate personal account.
