On this Earth Day I’d like to remind people of the environment consequences caused by the Mahwah NJ ford plant who dumped toxic waste at the Ringwood Mines. This led the contaminated the ancestral homeland of the Ramapough Lenape Nation. This area has been a superfund site since the 80’s.

The Trump administration only cares about the Jewish community as long as it aligns with his agenda and conservative ideology. We are just a scapegoat . If white nationalists had their way, they would wipe out the Jewish population due to not being evangelical Christians. www.cnn.com/2025/03/24/u...

If someone claims to like Green Day but are MAGA, those people are posers no matter how long they have been in the alt community. Green Day intentionally changed their lyrics toAmerican Idiot to say “I’m not apart of a MAGA agenda.” The alt community is a safe space for all kinds of people.

Dear #booksky community,
I think it’s time we unite & fight back against those who are trying to control the narrative in what’s acceptable reading material for our schools/ libraries/society. I’m calling this Project Book Ban Resistance. Let me know if you are interested in joining me! #projectbbr

If Elon Musk's salute was completely innocent, he should come out and clarify that.

Instead of calling out Democrats for causing hysteria, he should recognize the harm he caused to the Jewish community.

"Silent Spring" is considered a landmark book because it significantly raised public awareness about the harmful effects of pesticides on the environment, particularly DDT, sparking the modern environmental movement by prompting widespread discussion and ultimately leading to stricter regulations on pesticide use; it is credited with establishing a new paradigm in how people view human interaction with nature, highlighting the need to protect ecosystems from chemical contamination.

This is one of the most powerful books to read about the environment and human interference with nature. Despite being published over 50 years ago by Rachel Carson, Silent Spring is still relevant to our current political climate and environmental politics!

Today I have made a promise to myself that I will not allow censorship to control me. I’ve deleted all meta accounts and started the process of deactivating my tik tok. My goal is to read as many banned/ controversial books as possible over the next four years. The journey starts now 💙📚
