This whole book banning thing, Moms of 'Liberty' the pulling of school libraries, turning school libraries into detention centers.

It's obviously all connected & 'concerns' about trans people and CRT are just excuses to make the policy go down more smoothly with the public. To make the debate a mess, emotionally charged & awkward.

The real goal is obvious: Limit the exposure of young people to libraries. It's a war on libraries.

And I've been too shocked to really process what that means.

If the Catholic Spiritan Order which runs Blackrock College where young people were abused over many year had been running a care home HIQA would have closed them down and blacklisted the staff.

Karl Popper really nailed it in 1945:

"[I]f we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."

...or to claim that we're somehow waging war against you.

Trump brought Russian Intelligence into the SCIF on day one. Day one. He’s laundered their money for decades. Don’t make it seem theses idiots stumbled into it. Manaford was in contact just before Pence was selected. Moscow Mitch isn’t the only Russian agent.
