Are we living in a movie ? Fahrenheit 451 . People in the US are f*ckin tripping. It may be time to break out mass doses of Haloperidol. (just my 2 cents)

We are in the company of the experts in authoritarianism.

Truly bad news: Russian prosecutors demand the liquidation of @MemorialMoscow, the institution that has done more to tell the true history of the USSR than any other, and worked to promote human rights in modern Russia too. If this happens, an era ends. memo.ru/ru-ru/memorial/depar…

The past is calling to us now, with a warning we’d best take seriously.

My grandmother grew up in Berlin & was a young teenager at the start of WWII. She would always tell my sister and I when they ban the books be very worried when they start burning those books its already too late.

Too bad they didn't burn Joseph Goebbels' papers on propaganda and how too persuade people to follow you. Donald Trump would not have had a playbook to follow. Trump has used all of Goebbels tactics for years.

2/2 They flaunt their inability to understand loudly & widely..ban a thing & that thing is given a more powerful voice. I am very sad & distressed that this is happening in the United States. Once a bastion of freedom, fast becoming a bulwark of ignorance.

It amazes me that in a time when most teenagers have access to hardcore pornography through portable devices they carry with them at all times, people are worried about books in the school library having an adverse effect on their development.

#marxists don't want parents to burn PORN in school libraries but you're a #racist if you read Sneetches, Twain, or Shakespeare

The left want to burn books criticising gender identity ideology. In the UK it is left leaning women fighting these things
