That’s because America was built on racism. White America live, eat and breath racism. You made your bed, now lie on it. You sowed the wind, now reap the whirlwind.
Huntsville, AL, I requested copy of "The Paperclip Conspiracy" from public library. Librarian called me, two guys in white shirts and tie waited for me. When I tried to share "The Hitler Youth" at Alabama A & M, I was removed from doctoral program.

It was always clear this is where we were heading. Should people who down-played the CRT propaganda campaign, or claimed anti-history laws were ok because they only targeted schools not libraries, or who said the laws weren't actually books bans, be worried now?
This is such a fantastic move and a template for how other institutions in states that AREN’T banning books can help those who live in states that are. Proud to serve on the @BKLYNlibrary board. Healthy societies do not ban books. #LetOurChildrenLearn

I am a Japanese. I live in Japan. The first thing I have been doing in the morning is to go look for “Trump Indicted” before I check any news on my country😂Am I odd? It hasn’t happened yet but it will.
I saw this awhile back and was stunned. This is wholly unacceptable and this should be of highest priority to address.

No one should be so rich they can at-will change large communication structures. This is not about M*sk, delinquent as he is, this is about how we’ve allowed wealth to amass more power than the shared project of governance. We are living in plutocratic feudalism.
In case you've shrugged off Elon's casual bid to buy Twitter, a reminder: The fact that billionaires exist is one of the greatest threats to humanity in our time. There can be no democracy, justice or hope for peace while unprecedented exponential power differentiation exists.
Shouldn't over 1,000 scientists risking arrest to save the planet be a bigger news story than Elon Musk trying to buy Twitter?
the Mike Lee texts are a reminder that elected Republicans broadly lined up behind and supported the effort to end democracy and install Trump in office. returning them to power would be a disaster for the country.
Disinformation gave us Trump. Disinformation killed thousands with Covid. Elon Musk contributed personally to those trends. We don’t need more “free speech.” We need freedom from lies.

Elon Musk used government subsidies to fund Tesla's growth and to launch SpaceX. He then moved to Texas to avoid paying taxes that would support his community. Now we're all stuck with another billionaire vanity project. Tax. The. Rich.
