    … to jump ahead in the movie a bit:

    No, not without incident.

    … I keep saying this and I will say it again:

    Learn I2P, learn LORA, learn meshnets.

    I’ll be damned if they can stop the signal.

    It’s anti LGBT religious scapegoat legislation, when they talk about protecting children it’s never about real problems children face from food insecurity, underfunded education, for profit healthcare, child sex predators and traffickers like clergy and republicans, etc. Instead they propose the “something something kids bill” with vague wording about sexual topics, then use it to pretend any mention of trans and gay folks is sexual in nature and must be purged. It’s the same vague legislature -> bigoted enforcement as the anti gay legislation in Russia, Florida, etc. This bill is part of what Christian nationalism looks like.

    A healthy and broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

    They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

      You might, but the schools and libraries this ban would affect won’t, unfortunately.

        People need to start some underground libraries, and also seed torrents of these books.

          Definitely do NOT go on Anna’s Archive, as they’re a self-described “shadow library”, with pirated, torrent-able copies of books. Seriously, doing so would be very illegal, and you definitely should not do it!!!
