Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat, just gave a perfect summary of what Republicans hope to achieve with their misuse of the term “woke.”

This is why Republicans do not what black history taught. People were bought and sold like cattle. Read the descriptions. It is one of the ugliest history lessons, which is why we must teach it.

GOP's Wadsack says her bill to imprison Arizona drag performers is about protecting children from "grooming." But the people actually sexualizing children are those who can't stop thinking and talking about kids and sex.

"I was heartened by Biden’s refusal to do a Super Bowl interview with Fox News. I think that’s the right call and it has been absolutely vindicated by these filings, which show how deceitful Fox News is and that it’s a fundamentally political actor." -- @MattGertz https://aaronrupar.substack.com/p/matt-gertz-interview-fox-news-trump-dominion

Public Notice
You are here, Texas. One of your GOP state legislators has introduced a bill requiring internet companies to censor information related to abortion.

Since the Murdoch family launched Fox "News" several decades ago, Big Journalism has consistently endorsed the fiction that the outlet is journalistic in nature. There was an element of truth to that early on.

But for the past decade and longer, Fox "News" has been a thoroughly dishonest, relentless propagandist. It accumulates power and money by poisoning our public sphere.

Yet the journalism trade persists in calling it a news outlet, compounding the dishonesty.

It's disheartening.

A note on the TX legislation to ban web sites providing abortion information: This is set up in such a way that it is lawsuit heaven for right-wing religious fanatics. The state really doesn't have to get involved. Not only that, but people outside of the state could be sued in TX.

It's an insidious form of totalitarianism, where the citizens tattle on each other. Or, as it was called in Soviet Russia, "denouncing".
