    Again, there's a striking difference between the obsessive level of attention putative cancel culture gets in the elite media and the way this stuff, involving actual lawmakers, is ignored by those same outlets. (tellingly, most of the sources in this thread are local media).https://twitter.com/MadelineOnMars/status/1480059750146621440 …

    Legislators in Iowa are really outdoing themselves — they’re arguing YA books about growing up on a reservation or books about police violence against black people are also ‘porn,’ since they now take ‘porn’ to mean anything that makes them slightly uncomfortable. pic.twitter.com/RM6GHrWpaT

        Hmmm. You mean the elite media is just talking to themselves with no regards for what is actually happening. I can’t believe it😂

        Yeah we know they don’t care what happens in states like Iowa. I get the sense that they think the people who don’t like this simply can and or should move to a blue city.

        When will Iowa begin censoring internet access? Are they in trade talks with China for this technology?

        Agree in substance, but division of labour is fine. Jeet, this is the same argument made against people focusing on Israeli abuses against Palestinians when China is far worse. Why do we need to police people's focus?

        That's your people, right? Couldn't you gather your people and get another letter signed? If not, who of the original signees backs out?
