George Takei  🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽Feb 22, 2023

Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL) introduced a bill (cosponsored by Boebert & Santos) making the AR-15 the “National Gun of America.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has a bill to award killer Kyle Rittenhouse with the Congressional Gold Medal.

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) says Ukraine is not our friend and Russia is not our enemy.

The GOP is far, far too extreme to govern.

Isn't there a classic children's book about everything that's up is now down?

@kitsystratton @georgetakei Road Dahl is being censored now. Read every one of his wonderful books to my daughter.

@gdeihl @kitsystratton @georgetakei no one is censoring Dahl. Puffin Books and Dahl’s heirs took it on themselves to bowdlerize the books to cover up Dahl’s problematic and anti-Semitic views. The sanitization is counterproductive. It would be far better to read the books in the original forms and discuss why they are problematic.

@cadenza @kitsystratton @georgetakei I was unaware of Dahl's anti-Semitism. It wasn't something I picked up on reading his books with my daughter. I agree with your opinion about sanitization. Far better to learn from mistakes than pretend they didn't happen. I found this article on Dahl you may be interested in. https://time.com/5937507/roald-dahl-anti-semitism/
