He's also getting dragged for calling it terrorism but he's right there too. Ppl in that mob committed political violence specifically intended as such. No reason those individuals should get a pass from the label.

Terrorism doesn't require planning and organization, it's an act plus intent. (To respond to some of the objections I'm getting.) A few ppl can be said to have crossed that line without it meaning the entire protest on Jan. 6 was in the same category.

I think part of the problem is that there's so much generalization that ppl are defensive (understandably) about the whole Jan. 6 contingent getting tagged with the same label. But I think Cruz is referring to a tiny minority, not saying everyone protesting was a terrorist.

These are the children's books Facebook bans--after hearing from commenters who said to literally burn the books: bios of Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, Margaret Thatcher, Thomas Sowell, etc.

In case you were wondering why Bethany's work is so important.

We read the children's bio of Sonia Sotomayor to our kids, but FB bans the children's bio of Amy Coney Barrett. Our kids are going to grow up learning important lessons from figures of all politics, races, ethnicities, religions, etc. The new cultural commissars abhor it.

When ppl ask, we rave about these other children's books series--my kids worship folks like Brad Meltzer. I've tweeted repeatedly how such books have facilitated real and meaningful conversations about history with my kids. Heroes of Liberty is about adding value to value.

Honestly now I'm leaning toward whatever outcome gets the Canadians to invade.

I want peace and democracy, but only if imposed on us by the Canadians by force.

Hugely important, thorough, well sourced investigation from @slowhoneybee: The publishing industry is turning against Jewish writers and Jewish stories. Publishers Against the People of the Book washingtonexaminer.com/politics/publi…

A few notes:
--These are established writers and poets, not novices.
--Agents and publishers acknowledge the quality of the work hasn't dropped.
--Israel is only part of this: Holocaust books have the easiest path b/c as Dara Horn says, People Love Dead Jews (or weak Jews)

As one notes, they want the Holocaust or 'Tevye the Milkman.' They want Jew-as-victim. The Holocaust, especially, still (at least for now!) avoids a woke backlash.
