What are they going to do, ask MAGA to stop calling them "woke"? MAGA is all about bullying people, so saying "we don't like your name-calling" is only going to make it worse.

Grow a spine. Respond with "I know what woke means, so are you arguing against it from the racism angle or the ignorance angle?"

Why did so many of them read 1984 like a manual and not warning?

Question: Will "The Government's most solemn responsibility is to protect its citizens from abhorrent acts" be on the gates to the concentration camps?

I've been downloading my books but most of them are DRM so I can't read them on anything BUT a Kindle. I've been thinking about getting another e-reader but I fear I'm trapped.

That was a tradition? It doesn't seem like it's stuck around.

I don't think so. My understanding is NARA actually owns those accounts. He'll disable NARA and then go back and change posts made during Obama and Biden's presidencies.

My 86-year old mother is house-bound but she is the daughter of two immigrants who came over in the 1910's, so I guess she's gonna be shipped off to another country. I have no idea if my brother and I, both in our 50's would be subjected to deportation considering we haven't lived with her in over 30 years.

Maybe the US shouldn't have elected an out-and-out racist asshole.
