What can Frederick Douglass, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and The Handmaid’s Tale teach us about censorship? Our latest article explores how writers have long warned us about efforts to control information, restrict ideas, and silence voices. freedomtoreadproject.substack.com/p/they-told-...

They Told Us What Censorship Looks Like. We Should Listen.
There is a reason dystopian novels so often begin with control over information.

A cop warns on the price of witnessing death.
As a homicide detective, I can say with all of my being that there is no lesson learned in seeing someone die. But there is a price. And that price is your peace. Your decency. And the soul of our society.
We don't have to be this way, this fake tough but real ugly way. Stop

We can seek justice in this country without glorifying violence and turning an execution into a grotesque public spectacle. What this criminal did was abhorrent and must be punished—but we as a country cannot condone livestreaming a man’s death for entertainment.

Many years ago I was a school counselor. The principal remarked to a 1st yr teacher in my presence that her breasts we getting bigger during her pregnancy. Her mom was the secretary. She took him into his office and threatened his job if he ever said anything like that again.

Troy Jackson clearly won tonight’s first Maine Senate debate, repeatedly putting Susan Collins on the defensive over Trump, Kavanaugh and her record in Washington. Collins leaned heavily on seniority and what she’s delivered for Maine — but Jackson landed the sharper punches by far.

Troy Jackson: Brett Kavanaugh was against abortion when Susan Collins met with him. She knew that was going to happen, and now after it's been overturned, she doesn't regret the vote. Everybody else in Maine and across this country regrets her vote.

Troy Jackson: Eight years ago today, Maine women begged Susan Collins not to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. She did it anyway. He helped overturn Roe v. Wade. And today, she says she has no regrets. Would you trust her to pick the next Supreme Court justice?

Unsurprised but not wasting my disappointment on the fact that that yet another C Suite scumbag who ruins lives, destroys businesses; but gets to walk off unscathed. Or, gets to flutter off on a golden parachute to be accurate. What I want to actually say would get me kicked off here immediately.
