Voting Blue is the way; Kicking those MAGA Fascists and their Church Bullies out of politics will help lessen their power. I never want to see a sign like this in my own public library! Attacking access to knowledge is a bold move, if it succeeds, I will be deeply saddened (it has a high chance in my area due to the brainwashed MAGA Fascists).
Sometimes I think we should just go extinct and be done with this shit.
Oh, don’t lose faith in humanity because of this. This is only happening in the US.
extremist right wins votes in Europe
Oh, shh…
But I was told all politics in Europe are left of America’s left.
The traditional conservative parties in many places are left of US Democrats. But the ones winning now in many countries are alt right or openly fascist.
You were lied to. Look up what’s going on in Hungary.
typical america moment
you get ID’d at the library.
Books? We must protect the children!
Guns? Oh, no take the children before my guns!
Land of the free indeed.
This is the stupidest timeline.
The fact that the stupidity is intentional and the desired result is the rub. Stupid, uneducated people are less likely to think critically and more likely to accept and support whatever bullshit
the political party behind all this shitRepublicans spew out.
If I was a librarian, I wouldn’t enforce this stupid bullshit.
I’d be surprised if any do. I haven’t heard of a single librarian that’s been in favor of these shenanigans anywhere.
These lunatics are working on making prison time the punishment for that, so good luck.
I’m willing to be arrested for breaking stupid laws that shouldn’t exist.
I wonder what the penalty for that is.
as a former public librarian, i can tell you there are absolutely boomer losers with nothing to do who will sit there and make sure someone’s enforcing it. so fucking glad i work at an academic library now and no one can say shit when i put they gayest books in existence on display
I wonder how much money is spent on paper and ink for the affidavits. And I guess the extra workers, inside and outside of the library, needed to process and file them all.
Hah! You think they actually put in place the infrastructure needed to support this asinine policy. If there aren’t enough people to get the affidavits signed then those kids can’t go expose themselves to dangerous ideas, presumably including “trans people exist” and “slavery was bad, actually”.
See also voter ID laws that just happen to come into effect as the DMV offices in poor and/or black neighborhoods close down. If they make it a sufficient pain in the ass they don’t have to take the legal or political flak for outright banning it.
Yeah. Keep them kids out of the library. They should be at home on the internet where they will only be exposed to wholesome content.
Then when you need heart surgery, complain that your doctor is from another country.
Risky click of the day
Hatred and malice disguised as Christianity
Yeah, Christianity used to be way more open and tolerant in the past.
There’s no disguise
All part of the plan. The less educated the children are, the easier they can be exploited.
What a thing to steal and nail to your door lmao.
What’s an unrestricted library card?
Is restricted card for under 18 a thing?
It is now. In Idaho. Coming to other red states soon enough.
What a fucking shithole
The talibangeicals are winning.
This is fucking grim.
I posted this on my FB feed. One lady argued that it was down to parental rights to control what their kids consumed. I said just stay out of the public library and public schools, but she said that was not a “good faith” argument.
The irony is using “good faith” to impose their beliefs onto others was lost on her.
