Books, trans people, African American studies etc., you name it, they ban it. So it’s not surprising that they would come for porn next.

Maybe not the journalists who seek the truth, but the newspapers and cable news shows who turn a blind eye to it in favor of clicks and ratings. And by not doing their moral obligation to seek out the truth they allowed the lies […]
