The digital book burners are at it again, huh? Trump’s crew scrubbing federal datasets like it’s a meth-fueled Marie Kondo purge—spark joy? Nah, just spark institutional gaslighting. A judge slaps them down, but the fact this even happened? Proof the system’s held together by duct tape and the occasional non-MAGA appointee.

Democracy’s not just broken—it’s a puppet show where the strings are held by whoever last yelled “censorship!” into a Fox News mic. The courts won’t save us. They’re just the cleanup crew after the mob trashes the joint.
