Last week Noem tried to turn airports into propaganda theaters, w/ security checkpoints playing video blaming Democrats for the govt shutdown. 19 major airports, including JFK, Seattle-Tacoma, Phoenix, Denver, Boston-said no. The Hatch Act (the LAW) prohibits such abuse #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

👏👏👏 Bravo, Norfolk International Airport for standing up for democracy and not showing Trump's propaganda! All American airports must follow suit!
 "The video is not playing at ORF”
Officials with the Norfolk International Airport have declined to show a video from the Department of Homeland Security that puts blame of the government shutdown on Congressional Democrats, saying the airport authority does not promote political messaging in its facilities.

Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top. It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.

It’s #BannedBooksWeek and yes, they banned To Kill a Mockingbird - one of my FAVORITE books - because it “makes people uncomfortable.” .....bro..... That’s the point! Books that expose racism and injustice SHOULD make you squirm. Silencing truth is cowardice. Read what they fear.📚
