#Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school #libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.

Hashtags mine.

This was such an inspirational book for me when I was a kid. And the movie even moreso.

Courageous human beings protecting innocent fellow human beings from unspeakable evil - WTF is wrong with that?

A burglar broke in. I put the red dot on his chest. The cat did the rest.

Fack SCOTUS. They're just drumpf's lackeys.

"In case there was any doubt as to the motivation behind Trump’s military occupations, take note ... 8 of the top 10 states with the highest homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states is Illinois,” Pritzker said. https://trib.al/2tOVD9k

"Last night on MSNBC, I said it straight: the FBI raid on John Bolton’s home and office is only the beginning. Trump’s enemies list is long, and he intends to check off every name. Indictments will come. Prosecutions will come. And if history is any guide, imprisonment will follow. Retribution isn’t a campaign slogan for him; it’s a mission—and one he intends to win."

"On Inauguration Day, I listed 12 tripwires of tyranny – developments to keep an eye out for that would indicate our country had become a dictatorship. Seven months into Trump’s term, we’re already there with five of the tripwires, we’re getting there with five others, and we haven’t moved much on two others. …

Clearly, we’re far down the road to a dictatorship."

The people around him are so afraid of him that they won’t even tell him how math works

Q: During the campaign, you called Kamala Harris a communist, but the Biden-Harris admin never called for nationalizing a private company like you're proposing with Intel. Is this the new way of doing industrial policy?

TRUMP: Yeah. Sure it is. I want to try to get as much as I can.

Heather Cox Richardson put it plainly: the collapse isn’t just physical, it’s cognitive. The man who once bullied his way through interviews with brute-force bluster now drifts off mid-sentence, slurring fragments of half-remembered grievances as if volume alone can stand in for coherence. Weakness masquerading as strength is still weakness, but Trump’s weakness is now paired with the unchecked machinery of state power. - Mary Geddry

This is actually terrifying. The dictator establishing his Palace Guard.

The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.
