Yeaaaah, the other day I was thinking about how between AI, this kind of shit and foreign missinformation campaigns the only reliable long term source of information will once again be... physical books. We ruined the internet lmao

It's not just books they want to burn. They're evidently not happy with stripping LGBTQ+ people of basic human rights, but now are working to erase all evidence of their very existence. We need to fight these Nazis hard now before they move to the next step.

If you're not aware of the reference, the famous book burnings during the rise of the Nazi party, were them burning the books from the Berlin sexual institution....
