The Trump administration knew from the start of this war of that Iran would retaliate.
But they didn't anticipate needing to evacuate Americans in the region?
The lack of planning for this war of choice is putting even more American lives at risk.

“If our country does manage to save itself, it will be because people just like these librarians say enough is enough. We the people have a right to read what we want, and no billionaire or self-appointed prophet will take that right from us.” @la-cac.org

This should get a Pulitzer. It's going to be an all-time classic.

That's the revolution.
Nine former officials at the CDC have said that RFK Jr’s leadership of the US health and human services department is “unlike anything our country has ever experienced” and “unacceptable”.
They said that this “should alarm every American, regardless of political leanings”.
Quote from Ben Franklin: whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech
Book bans are not just about removing stories; they are about silencing voices and reshaping what a generation is allowed to know. When we accept censorship in our schools and libraries, we chip away at the very freedoms our democracy depends on. Stand up. Speak out. Protect the freedom to read.

Librarians are amazing!
Librarians helping libraries.

3. He ambushed Zelensky in the White House.
4. He is trying to oust Zelensky.
Im excited to take place in the economic blackout boycott tomorrow.
