Port: It's not just about kids, and it's not just libraries Legislation under consideration in Bismarck wouldn't just restrict access to books in schools and libraries. The language of the bill also applies to private book stores.

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves.

A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984.

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

A reminder that fiction — books, film, games, what have you — is always political. The willful absence of “politics” in any work is itself a political choice and a political act. Who gets to tell (and sell) stories is political. It might be an undercurrent — covert, not overt. But it’s there.

Flags to be raised for Trump's inauguration, despite half-staff order for Carter's death The president-elect had expressed concern that Democrats seemed happy to see the flag lowered during the inauguration ceremony despite the tradition of lowering flags after a president's death.

your political stances require empathy and the incels ain't got it ☹️

my political stances are very common sense:

"Everything that people need to survive should be free" "lets not kill civillians" and "don't be mean to anyone"

i am sure this is very agreeable and no one will yell at me about it

what's with the parents raising hyper independent children expecting them to need or want them in their adulthood?
