“The best way to celebrate The Librarians is not simply to applaud the film. It is to listen to what the librarians in it have been trying to tell us … Watch The Librarians. Send it to someone who still thinks book bans are isolated disputes … Talk about it. Share what you learned.”

Book banners tried to have me arrested. Tried to have me fired. Tried to destroy my life. Thankfully, I didn’t run into any of them at the Emmy Awards.

The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

These deaths are on him as well as the parents he has misled.
Screenshot of a tweet from FactPost reporting that newborn death rates are rising as babies die from vitamin K deficiency, which is preventable with a single shot at birth, and attributing the trend to widespread medical disinformation causing parents to refuse the vitamin K shot.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Mandate? Trump won by roughly 1.5% points, and he would lose if election was today in a heartbeat. "Criminal aliens": Biden focused removals on serious offenders and recent crossers instead of sweeping up anyone with a pulse or shooting American citizens in the streets for protesting.

This is how authoritarian narratives work you smear the victim, praise the armed agent, and ignore the killing. No video justifies an execution. No insult erases due process. This is propaganda, not accountability.

So in 2026, the USPS will no longer process mail as it comes in. It will process mail when they feel like it. So they can deliver a letter or a package a month later. The Convicted FElon is doing this to prevent mail-in voting without outlawing it. He doesn't want the Democrats to win the Midterms.

People are asking: Why is Trump screwing American farmers so badly when they’re his most loyal voting bloc? Maybe because it’s a cheap land grab. Run farmers out of business, then he and his billionaire buddies buy up millions of acres for pennies on the dollar. Are the farmers catching on yet?
