Facebook: The company announced it would be requiring all workers in the U.S. to be fully vaccinated.
Why do Republicans want to punish Facebook and Google?
Good morning. Let's see what today will bring us.

Is big tech an enemy or friend? Republicans would have us believe that companies like Facebook and Twitter are censoring speech and have consistently criticized the social media giants. 

That's just one column we have for you today. 

Why do Republicans want to punish Facebook and Google? 

By Bret Jacobson

Since when did it become "conservative" to punish private companies for being successful? In recent years, a bizarre and ill-advised frenzy has gripped the right, which has focused intense efforts on breaking up or otherwise hamstringing social media companies. Conservative groups and their dedicated donors have spent vast amounts of money on these anti-"Big Tech" efforts.

Our dad, Lyndon Johnson, showed civil rights fight was once bipartisan

By Lynda Johnson Robb and Luci Baines Johnson

The civil rights movement has always been very personal to us. 

We grew up witnessing Jim Crow laws. We saw separate schools, water fountains, toilets and restaurant entrances and segregated seating in public places. 

We saw the indignity, inequity and pain of it all. 

We remember our mother driving us from Texas to Washington, D.C., with our beloved Black housekeeper, Patsy. We stopped at a motel where the manager said there was room for our family to stay. That was until he saw that one of us was Black. He then told Mother there was no room for Patsy, and Mother responded, "If there's no room for Patsy, there's no room for us."
