The last post was from imaround telling us what books have been banned from a Naval Library:
"Over 300 books banned at the US Naval Academy.

I am watching to the ancestral history of a young Jewish actor who played Spider-Man (I can’t remember his name). I am watching it because he is the spitting image in looks, behaviour and speech as my eldest GS.
Anyway back to what the point of my post is.
His ancestors lived in Poland and the way the Nazis behaved then is so reminiscent of what is happening in the USA and frankly Gaza today.
imaround- of course, silly me..🤔
Looks like China may have outlasted Trump on the tariffs. He is mumbling something about them being to high (they are), that he is worried people will stop spending money (we have), and something about he is going to be nice to Xi. I'll have to wait until someone coherent translates what the heck he is talking about.
So far, he doesn't look very tough to the rest of the world. Quite the opposite really. They really are incompetent as a whole.
Maybe we should bring back DEI? Things were running much more smoothly. 
I'll have to watch that Whitewave. Thanks for the recommendation.
The Supreme Court heard arguments on a case about Religion/Parents Rights/ and schools. I am not sure exactly what subject to assign this to? Reports are saying they are inclined to agree and give the parents a win.
They want the schools to notify parents of lessons that may go against their faith.Sounds great, until you see some of what they have asked for in the past.
"The implications of this argument are breathtaking. As Justice Sonia Sotomayor pointed out, past cases involve parents who object to lessons touching on topics like divorce, interfaith couples, and “immodest dress.” Parents have brought federal lawsuits objecting, on religious grounds, to the government using unique numbers to identify people in its own internal records. They’ve objected to lessons exposing children to ideas about evolution, pacifism, magic, women achieving things outside of the home, and “false views of death,” among other things."

What on earth is a false view of death?
I have no idea.
Whitewavemark2
What on earth is a false view of death?
I'd suppose they disapprove assisted death.
Perhaps it is "When you die, you just cease to exist", "When you die, you go to Heaven" or "when you die you are reborn". I'm sure there are others and somebody is bound to object to any or all.
Shocked about the autistic register. Very 4th Reich. What is it supposed to be for in his terms?
He wants to find where Autism comes from. Except 1) he is 100% convinced autism is caused by vaccines and 2) it is illegal to access peoples medical records.
He is digging for any information he can get to "prove" vaccines are bad.
He'd get suspended probably lose his parliamentary seat in the UK thank goodness.
Trump is now going after the accrediton of colleges that won't cowtow to him.
More fascism today.
www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/reforming-accreditation-to-strengthen-higher-education/
Yes - colleges taking more disadvantaged students and therefore the outcome results are not as high as they might be - so DEI and "radical" teaching blamed.
so cut them back.
Sigh
Article here on why China is in a good position to beat Trump win the tariff war. Includes a picture of little Trump figures for the US market 😂

He is now dismantling the Civil Rights Act.
"Attorney General shall initiate appropriate action to repeal or amend the implementing regulations for Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for all agencies"
What's Title VI?
"prohibits discrimination against or otherwise excluding individuals on the basis of race, color, or national origin"
www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/restoring-equality-of-opportunity-and-meritocracy/
We’ve got a similar move in the U.K. - to get ride of the Human Rights Act.
Farage and other right wing messiahs are busy persuading us that we don’t need such protection.
Does he still have a loud bunch of supporters or are they diminishing now? Curious. Maybe they will have ‘ orange shirts’ started to keep the peace ? Followed by the elite TS who will be in charge of the internment camps. Don’t laugh, it could happen.
Oh no, he still has a ton of supporters. We have even witnessed that here on GN. He has broken the law, violated the Constitution, violated civil rights and human rights and there are still people who thinks he walks on water.
I have seen posts from Trump supporters begging him not to deport their spouses but that they still supported him. Same with the tariffs. They are loosing business and are begging him to exempt them from his tariffs.
It is a cult.

Some seriously weird stuff going on.
Reading that the judge on school funding has said that Trumps action is tantamount to preventing free speech.
Oh my!
He has violated the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 14th Amendments for sure.
He probably violated the 6th, 8th, 10th.
He is working on violating the 15th, 19th, and 22nd.
His #1 job, his oath of office, is to protect and uphold the Constitution of the United States.
He should be impeached, removed and changed with treason and given all punishments allowed for that.
If this was any other President, he would have been already. But we have a bunch of corrupt cowards in Congress.
A pretty good Marsh Family song on trumps Tariffs.
enjoy!

(imaround, the Marsh Family have been doing "homemade" mostly fairly radical songs since Covid from their home and we've watched them grow up), there's loads more on Trump and Vance
I've seen them before in ny feed! They are awesome.
Trump has stopped the largest women's health study funding.
