Just a reminder that 90% of history is unknown due to the burning of Alexandria's library

Saving history in only one place is irresponsible. Make copies of books, films, and other stuff that documents this moment in time!

OK but #StephenMiller is talking that way & #Bezos is glazing that exact administration with this movie.

Do you really need us to get to #bookburnings & #Kristallnacht before you are ready to accept the fact that people who support #Trump, #MAGA & #Republicans are evil and need to be stopped?

9/10 Atwood's earlier warning on social media was prophetic:

"Don't read The Handmaid's Tale because your hair will catch on fire!

Get one now before they have public book burnings of it."

The dystopian fiction becoming dystopian reality.

Cracker Barrel, like many others, capitulates to this radical and Orwellian fear of a facist regime. Freedom is in danger, please help us to spread the word. #bookburnings #woke #lgbtq

#bookburnings are not far away

A history of Harry Potter books being burned — and J.K. Rowling’s perfect responses More like “Serious AF Rowling”

Sorry, but we are going to have to #DisagreeAgreeably on this. Those who consider it acceptable to undertake #Bookburnings of Harry Potter, will consider me at least to be guilty of a litany of sins. www.polygon.com/2017/2/1/144...

J.K. Rowling Book Burning Videos Are Spreading Like Wildfire Across TikTok "While the reader's perspective is an important part of interpretation and meaning, it is impossible to completely divorce a work from its creator," a TikTok creator said in a video while burning "Har...

You are right. I did not realise that #BookBurnings of the works of #JKRowling restarted a few years ago. It is interesting how the latest haters have joined with the religious right on this. www.newsweek.com/jk-rowling-b...

People have wanted to #censor #JKRowling for ages. Wait until the #BookBurnings start again. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/enterta...

The #bookburnings have begun.

#HateCrimes are surging, #rightwing...w #impunity, & #BookBurnings & #AcademicPurges are no longer relics of #history. This is not an intellectual exercise or a thought experiment—it is a .. #FascistTakeover, fueled by #corruption, #violence, & the #complicity of those who once dismissed the alarms.

The #WhiteSupremacist #Trump regime is eridicating #BlackHistory, the achievements of #women & the struggle voor #voting & #CivilRights in its #CultureWar on #DEI & #woke.
Online by removing pages & in libraries by taking them off the shelves.
There are no #BookBurnings, but the effect is the same!

The #SA kicked off the #Nazi #BookBurnings on the #7thMarch1933 less than #40days after #Hitler became #Chancellor 2 weeks before the #EnablingAct & 4yrs before #Adolf became a #CarSalesman
The #Orange #DickTaker is racing ahead of the curve🤔
Wonder what that could mean?

People are waiting for the #bookburnings to start, when in this modern reality, the information the #Nazis would burn is already being purged from websites, servers, etc. Science publications, medical research, masses of data and the software to interpret it are all being destroyed right now. #coup

It has been 91 years, 278 days since the Nàzìs campaign to erase #trans people led to torching the #library archives at the Institute for Sex Research. We still feel the loss today.

#BookBurnings look different in the digital age. Know the signs, and learn how to #archive /store #knowledge. #resist
