    We have seen what's happening today in the U.S. (and the U.K, and and and) happen before. And we saw where it led.

    .We are far too close to being there again. We must end this now.

  14. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    In the democracies of the world, the passion for freedom of speech and of thought is always accentuated when there is an effort anywhere to keep ideas away from people and to prevent them from making their own decisions. One of the best ways of enslaving a people is to keep them from education and thus make it impossible for them to understand what is going on in the world as a whole. [โ€ฆ] The second way of enslaving a people is to suppress the sources of information, not only by burning books, but by controlling all the other ways in which ideas are transmitted.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
    Column (1943-05-11), โ€œMy Dayโ€

  19. #bookburning is equivalent to a nation deciding it's better to banish ideologies & information rather than allowing freedom to choose..it starts as some small group of books & ends with the unrecognizable destruction of the society the book burners were trying to protect.. thewalrus.ca/book-banning/

  20. "Also destroyed were the works of Heinrich Heine, a writer of Jewish descent, who a century earlier had foreshadowed the hell to come: 'Where they burn books, they will ultimately also burn people.'"
