Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.

While everyone's watching Hormuz, the Epstein files are being buried. The law says release them. Trump is fighting it. Massie may lose his seat Tuesday for pushing it. And now a $1.7B slush fund for Jan 6 defendants? Don't go quiet. (link in reply)

If we were really talking about a level playing field @ABAesq & @usedgov would say: No #DEI, but affirm requirement to comply w the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawing discrimination based on "race, color, religion, sex, or national origin."

The maximum an individual can legally donate to a candidate in an election is $3300.
Elon donated $277M to Trump in 2024 because of loopholes rich people use to buy elections.
If you care about election integrity — overturn Citizens United so our elections aren’t auctions.

Frontotemporal dementia.
Bad for him. Worse for us.
The spineless cabinet needs to use the 25th Amendment.

Speed with which some jurisdictions bend knees to The Regime suggests much about their real support of LGBTQ people and minorities. Maryland's Eastern Shore does not have the best track record in these matters. 30 yrs ago, as a state employee, a diner silenced when I walked in.

One of many authors read in the @Balticon Banned Book Read-a-thon now streaming from the Baltimore Science Fiction Society Facebook page.
Stop by and give us a like!

I am now the most banned author in the United States--87 books. May I suggest you pick up one of them and see what all the pissing & moaning is about? Self-righteous book banners don't always get to have their way. This is still America, dammit.

Probably won't make it past our new cultural censors, but this needs to be said. And it's no joking matter.
The Regime grabs another page from one of tjhe most deadly authoritarian regimes.
No longer Facist-like, just straight up Facist.
ALT New York Times article from February 4, 1939: Goebbels Endz Careers of Five 'Aryan' actors Who Made Witticisms About the Nazi Regime. The 5 were comedians.

Taking the @michiganstateu "Write Your First Novel" on @coursera is a definite flop. Posts suggested for feedback are 3 yrs old. Instructions for creating a writing group are too vague for people to form them, & again, filled with old posts, new people you know can't be found!

The reality of @coursera, at least where all feedback is from AI and peers is mostly hype. This could work with some content management to weed out dead responses, folks who gave up & fled?, real assistance in connecting would-be writers in groups, & making real class cohorts.

My very best wishes to Chief Manger. May he have a long and well earned retirement.
Thanks to every officer of the @CapitolPolice. I appreciate all you do to protect us on The Hill. I wish all of law enforcement operated with your efficiency and courtesy

They just noticed we've been listening to a madman raving about whatever pops into his mind? The few credentialed people in psychiatry and psychology, including his cousin @MaryTrumpL have told us the man is unwell and dangerous!

He is not well.
We need to discuss his confusion

Some days our opponents are right. In this case, @SenRandPaul is spot on in opposing The Regime's abuses of executive power & the timidity of Congress in doing the job demanded by the Constitution.
He's so articulate. I wish he was right more often.

Pure acts of erasure.
Now what do they tell their gated community, home-schooled children? That Black and brown people are made of chocolate? And swam all the way from Africa to do what? Since none of them have ever been part of American greatness?

It was, is, and always will be, at bottom, racism. Reporters can scour every fucking diner from Altoona to Albuquerque, make every excuse for why white people feel left behind, and ridicule DEI, but underneath it all is pure, unadulterated racism.

Where was all of this passion against tyranny in 2024?
@RandPaul wanted, and wants, power so badly that he still starts off by praising The Regime before demanding that it not be the authoritarian pox that it is.
We can not have it both ways.

STRAIGHT UP INSIDER TRADING!!
But he "owns" DOJ and SEC, so no worries for him on that front. And the law firms who specialize in these kinds of suits are all genuflecting to kiss his ring.
How does this fall within even the broadest immunity?
We no longer are a nation of laws.

This is a serious story and I posted about it earlier but I’m worried the wig is going to distract people.
