“I did not sacrifice 21 years of my life to stand idly by, while religious fanatics try to impose fascism on my country”

Wait wait.
Ban books?
Really now?
Damn....
Can you tell me more about this, just got a slight inspiration to write a poem for this but would like to know more....
I live in Germany...books are almost taken as sacred after what happened in the Third Reich. That's what you get taught here in school several times.
I saw the video…but I need more information…

@si_irini @randahl Florida’s right-wing fascists are banning books by brown people, African Americans and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Florida’s governor #desantis is a right-wing fascist who wants to become US president in 2024.

The radical right has gotten away with what they have by going to local hearings and meetings to push local officials to create hateful legislation. Our side needs to get more active on the local level, like this man did.
