Just read the whole thing. There is talk of the Attorney General acting improperly and outside the law without ever getting down to actual incidents. They do get down to brass tacks with every time the NY AG said she did not like Donald Trump with dates and exact quotes. Whoever wrote this seems to think that the 1st, 4th, and 15th amendments are primarily about the prosecutor having to like the person they are prosecuting.

Yes, but this is incredibly unfair. Like, the most unfairest thing ever done to a person.

My dad worked for IBM so I had a front seat to their mass layoffs in the early 90s (my dad wasn't laid off, but a huge number of other people were). It wasn't until I was older that I understood what it once meant to be hired by IBM, and by that time the idea of lifelong job security seemed hopelessly quaint.

I interned for Hewlett-Packard in high school, in their testing equipment division, just a few years before they were spun off into Agilent and whatever hells that followed.

Some of them had worked there while Bill Hewlett did. All of them were 10000% confident that China could never make what they make.

Neat!

Doesn't really matter what Trump says anymore. He's as much a symbol of the movement as actual leader.

If Trump rejects something they want, they'll just project back whatever they want to believe. Pretend it's a conspiracy. Whatever. It doesn't matter at all.

The push to ban books in Texas schools spreads to public libraries

Some Texas residents are asking for greater say in what titles appear on public library shelves.


https://www.texastribune.org/2021/12/20/texas-library-books/

When the Llano County Library shuts down for three days this week, starting Tuesday, it won’t be for the holidays.

Instead, a group of six librarians in this small Central Texas county will be conducting a “thorough review” of every children’s book in the library, at the behest of the Llano County Commissioners Court. Their mission will be to make sure all of the reading material for younger readers includes subjects that are age-appropriate. A new “young adults plus” section will be added to separate books written for an older teen audience from those geared toward younger readers.

The three-day closure of the library system in Llano County, about 80 miles northwest of Austin, also means a temporary shutdown of its virtual portal through the online book provider Overdrive.

“I think we owe it to all parents, regardless if it’s a school library or a public library, to make sure that material is not inappropriate for children,” Llano County Judge Ron Cunningham said.

The Llano County community’s push to scrutinize the local library’s book stacks comes two months after a Texas lawmaker first questioned the inclusion of more than 850 books about race, equality or sexuality in public school libraries.

Local public libraries in Texas, including those in Victoria, Irving and Tyler, are fielding a flurry of book challenges from local residents. While book challenges are nothing new, there has been a growing number of complaints about books for libraries in recent months. And the fact that the numbers are rising after questions are being raised about school library content seems more than coincidental, according to the Texas Library Association.

“I think it definitely ramped it up,” said Wendy Woodland, the TLA’s director of advocacy and communication, of the late October investigation into school library reading materials launched by state Rep. Matt Krause in his role as chair of the House Committee on General Investigating.

In response to Krause’s inquiry, Gov. Greg Abbott tapped the Texas Education Agency to investigate the availability of “pornographic books” in schools. In the weeks since, school districts across the state have launched reviews of their book collections, and state officials have begun investigating student access to inappropriate content.

As more residents began turning their sights on local libraries, the state library association set up a “peer counseling” helpline for librarians to get support from others more familiar with book challenges.

“A library may get one or two [book challenges] in two years, or some librarians have never had challenges,” Woodland said. “So this is very rare and very unusual and different from the way challenges have been brought forth in the past.”

In Victoria, about 100 miles southeast of San Antonio, Dayna Williams-Capone says the number of complaints about books is the most she’s seen in her nearly 13 years working at the Victoria Public Library.

In August, Williams-Capone, the director of library services in Victoria, said her office received about 40 formal requests for review of books, primarily books for children and young adults that touch on topics of same-sex relationships, sexuality and race.

After Williams-Capone and her staff reviewed the requests, they decided to keep the books in the library. Residents who filed the complaints pushed forward, appealing the decision to the library’s advisory board for about half of the books, Williams-Capone said.

One Victoria resident who pushed for book removals was Cindy Herndon.

“It’s nothing that I have against anybody in any community,” said Herndon, 64. “I don’t have any resentment or lack of respect for them. It’s just about protecting the children and exposing them to things that they really don’t need to see right now.”

One of the books she wanted removed was “The Black Flamingo” by Dean Atta, a coming-of-age novel about a mixed-race gay teen who becomes a drag artist.

After reading the book, Herndon said she was opposed to it because to her it seemed to “sexualize children, especially into alternate lifestyles, and make them want to be someone else than who they were born to be.”

Another Victoria resident, Amy Garvel, joined other residents, and the group combed through the library’s online catalog. They compiled a list of more than 200 books they found inappropriate, ranging from picture books to young adult books, Garvel said. Garvel herself submitted two requests for removal for the books “If I Was Your Girl” by Meredith Russo and “Rick” by Alex Gino.

Garvel, who describes herself as a conservative and has a 9-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter, said she’s been very careful about what content they consume.

“My goal is really to protect the children in our community in general, not just my own children,” said Garvel, 43. “I’m hoping that [the library] sees that we’re not trying to censor books that we’re trying to protect our children. I mean, the library was one of the last places that we could feel safe.”

At this point it really does feel like Game of Thrones. None of us are the ruling noble families, all of us are the peasants that get run down, and there's nothing we can do to change it.

I mean, gently caress, outside of tiny victories, it still doesn't feel like it matters much.

But I thought we were told that certainly he's doing what his constituents want! And that it's not this bill! Except that it is this bill! And he isn't doing what his constituents want!

It is absolutely unbelievable that this is happening. Our system of government from the ground up is a lovely, stupid, trashy loving mess.

As you'd expect from something designed mostly to protect the interests of incredibly wealthy slaveowners.

Hey, no need to really look at this thing after the Civil War, let's just add in a few amendments, leave a prison loophole for the slavery one, and let the traitors return to the Congress!

Many people are noticing the inflation, okay, and they're noticing that it can many times be very bad. Perhaps you find a man, a man who has the drawing skills. Art. He's good at the art. And you send him an email. BING BING BING.

'Hello, this is the President, do you know who I am? I would like you to be doing a drawing for, the inflation, the inflation of the daughter.'

And then you hit send and the computer makes the noise. And the man comes in, the one who they call the Eye Three man, and he says 'That's what we're sending today, huh? Just want to check.' and you nod and he walks away. So the email flies away, through the tubes, and it drops in the mail box. The digital mailbox. E MAIL.

*snffffftt*

And he sends you the drawing later, and wow, it's incredible. Ivanka, okay, but more like a large orb. An orb woman, you might say, being inflated by the bicycle bump. And this is very good, some might say EXTREMELY good. I'm saying it right now, in fact.

But then you need more. And perhaps this is all happening after they gave you some wonderful pills, right after you spent some time in the hospital, or medical facility, and they give you incredible drugs that make you strong enough to lift any table in the White House and tear up the carpet. So you say 'MORE!' and ask for more and it keeps coming. But before you know it, you have too many and the drugs wear off.

So that's.... you hear about inflation every day, it's terrible, it's so bad. And Joe Biden doesn't understand it, okay? He's never done it like me, doesn't know a THING about it like I do. So that's... that's where we are now, I'm the inflation president, but in the good way. Let when you test negative to a positive, which I just did this morning in fact.

From several pages back, but pausing to say you’re an artist.
