South Carolina has banned 21 books statewide so far (including my Last Night at the Telegraph Club). This news story says there isn’t any way to un-ban them at this time, barring new legislation or lawsuits. In other words: A lot of hard work is ahead. www.islandpacket.com/news/local/e...

islandpacket.comSC banned more school books than any other state. Can any be reinstated?While South Carolina has led the nation in book removals, reversing those decisions remains murky and largely unprecedented. Here’s what to know.

Tens of billions of dollars being literally incinerated, billions more in environmental harms, all to placate the whims of a single person whose stated objective is to leave the planet.

Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody… *Applause* Van Drew: *bangs gavel*

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

@teslatakedown.com #TeslaTakedown #Austin 5/10/2025 - This week held simultaneously at two Austin locations. I opted for the one in North Austin, on a busier road near Trumpist suburbs. A bit smaller than previous (~25 protesters), probably because of 2 locations. Plenty of honks, waves, etc.

The Holocaust didn’t start with the gas chambers. It started when my friends Werner and Walter were taken from their homes when they were 14 and deported to Poland. They were tattooed 10 numbers apart in Auschwitz. #NeverAgainIsNow

Witkoff touching his heart the moment he sees Putin to show admiration and respect is also nauseating. The representative of the most powerful country in the world fawning over a tyrant of an almost broken imperialist nation. That would have tipped the balance of power towards Putin in that meeting.

Absolutely shameful: Witkoff breaks Russian dictator Putin's diplomatic isolation from the Free World. His handshake with the murderous Kremlin tyrant is like a symbol of Washington's abdication of its position as leader of the West.

69M married women could lose their voting rights if the SAVE Act is passed. Transgender individuals too. Why? Absent a valid passport, you must present a birth certificate *with the same name as your registration* to be registered. This is insane! Hands Off Her Vote

Oh, FF Sake Psychotic Laura Loomer, another sick phucking lunatic has been added to the mix in the Trump regime. Ultra far-right conspiracy theorist and admittedly pro-white nationalist has been successful in pushing the Trump to fire national security staffers for disloyalty.

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering
