I see that this small-minded puritanical pixie is laser-focused on getting the government reopened and the troops paid.
"Cosplay Karen" Noem can whine about this shutdown being the Democrats' fault, but we know the truth. Republicans control Congress & they let this happen to avoid voting on releasing the Epstein files.
Last week Noem tried to turn airports into propaganda theaters, w/ security checkpoints playing video blaming Democrats for the govt shutdown. 19 major airports, including JFK, Seattle-Tacoma, Phoenix, Denver, Boston-said no. The Hatch Act (the LAW) prohibits such abuse #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
They Ordered Propaganda. Airports Said No.
American airports are holding the line for Democracy against the Trump propaganda machine. 🔥 Let's help by sharing these awesome videos! 🔥

👏👏👏 Bravo, Norfolk International Airport for standing up for democracy and not showing Trump's propaganda! All American airports must follow suit!
DOG HATER & COSPLAY KAREN, KRISTI "PLASTIC" NOEM CAN WHINE ABOUT THIS SHUTDOWN BEING THE DEMOCRATS FAULT BUT WE KNOW THE TRUTH REPUBLICANS CONTROL CONGRESS & THEY LET THIS HAPPEN TO AVOID VOTING ON RELEASING THE EPSTEIN FILES THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top. It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.
The Trump propaganda machine is alive and well. Good thing airports are holding the Democracy Line. Great article and toolkit! LFG www.digitaldrumbeat.com/p/they-order...

Octavia Butler and John Steinbeck made the banned list. Read Kindred, Parable of the Sower, The Grapes of Wrath, and more. They tried to silence truth, empathy, and imagination. Let’s prove they can’t. What’s your favorite banned book? #BannedBooksWeek

They banned A Clockwork Orange, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Wicked, Crank and many more because free minds scare them. So read louder. Share harder. Pass the stories they’re desperate to erase. Rebellion starts on the page. #BannedBooksWeek
“Those who ban books fear ideas that set people free. But censorship doesn’t just silence authors—it steals our freedom to learn, to question, to know ourselves and each other. This #BannedBooksWeek, stand up for the freedom to read. Every story matters. Every voice counts.”
What does it mean when a book is “banned”? From challenges to outright restrictions, censorship takes many forms—and it’s spreading fast. The ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom fights back every day. #BannedBooksWeek social.demcast.com/s/RSDLeZGb
It’s #BannedBooksWeek and yes, even Octavia Butler and John Steinbeck made the banned list. They tried to silence truth, empathy, and imagination. Let’s prove they can’t. What’s your favorite banned book? Are you reading a banned book right now? Which one?
Since 2021, nearly 23,000 books have been banned—proof that fear still wields a red pen. They’re trying to erase stories of race, identity, and love because they can’t erase the people who live them. Read defiantly. Share loudly. Rebel with a book. #BannedBooksWeek
George Takei, “Those who ban books fear ideas that set people free. But censorship doesn’t just silence authors—it steals our freedom to learn, to question, to know ourselves and each other. This #BannedBooksWeek, stand up for the freedom to read. Every story matters. Every voice counts.”
Books banned. Professors fired. Librarians threatened. Textbooks censored. The war on education is here and we’re not backing down. Stand with educators and librarians. Show up. Speak out. Vote. Defend the freedom to read and learn. #BannedBooksWeek
