"Once more, let me remind you what fascism is. I need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt.
Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege."

Just pulled 2 ticks off this guy. April 7 and tick season in the Adirondacks has begun! #dogsofmastodon
[Edit: 3 ticks. Missed the last one but the Simparica got it]
Let's be very clear. If it was Hillary getting locked up, the #MAGA cult would be celebrating in the streets.
Calling me "indecent" or "insensitive" for celebrating the #TrumpArrest falls on deaf ears. F their feelings
Here's to living in a first world country, where no one is above the law
This week, the Missouri House voted 2 defund the state's public library system. The cuts came in response to a lawsuit challenging SB 775, a Missouri law banning sexually explicit material in school libraries & threatening librarians found in violation of the policy w jail time
I did a deep dive into the law and how it is permanently affecting the lives & work of librarians statewide. Some are considering leaving the field. Others are working in fear and isolation.
"What do you do when you think you could go to jail?" a librarian asked me. She is now leaving the profession
