They rig maps & silence voters.

They rip away freedoms we fought and bled for.

They try to silence voices on national TV.

This is dictatorship in action.

On October 18, we rise to remind the world: America has #NoKings

Trump is trying to rule like a king. Sending masked agents into our cities. Targeting immigrant families. Terrorizing our communities.

But this country does not belong to kings or dictators. It belongs to us.

On October 18, we rise to say #NoKings !

We’re eight days away from #NoKings Day, and over 2,500 protests planned in all 50 states and across the world.

October 18 is going to be the biggest day of nonviolent protest in US history — because Courage is contagious.

Reminder that this baseless indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James is part of Donald Trump’s corrupt weaponization of the criminal justice system against anyone who has sought to hold him accountable.

#BannedBooksWeek reminds us why stories like this matter. The ones they fear most are the ones that wake us up. What banned book lit a fire in you? Share in the comments😊

What does it mean when a book is “banned”? From challenges to outright restrictions, censorship takes many forms—and it’s spreading fast. The ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom fights back every day.

They banned A Clockwork Orange, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Wicked, Crank and many more because free minds scare them.
So read louder.
Share harder.
Pass the stories they’re desperate to erase.
Rebellion starts on the page.

Since 2021, nearly 23,000 books have been banned—proof that fear still wields a red pen. They’re trying to erase stories of race, identity, and love because they can’t erase the people who live them.

Read defiantly.
Share loudly.
Rebel with a book.

Books are still being banned but most remain on shelves thanks to heroes who refuse to bow to censorship.

Librarians, teachers, students, and readers everywhere are keeping the flame of free expression alive.
Stand with them.
Speak out.

Censorship is so 1984.’ This year’s #BannedBooksWeek theme couldn’t be more fitting. Across the country, extremists are erasing diversity, rewriting history, and silencing marginalized voices. Buy the books.
Read them.
Share them.
Keep every story alive.

Defend the freedom to read in your community. 📚🔥
No parent should decide what another’s child can read and no book should be silenced.

Join the movement to fight censorship and protect our stories.
We’re stronger together. ✊

How many of these banned or challenged books have you read? ❤️ It’s hard to see how stories of love, courage, and kindness could threaten anyone but each has been banned somewhere in America. 📣 Read them. Share them. Request them. Speak out. #BannedBooksWeek

Censors fear an educated public because knowledge can’t be controlled. Every banned book is a warning and an invitation to read louder.

Defend the right to think, question, and grow.
That’s the heartbeat of a free society.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do."

Nice to see Sen. Gallego and Kelly going to bat for Adelita Grijalva, as they and everyone else should be.
Speaker Johnson is stalling her swearing-in because her vote would help finally reveal the Epstein files.

YES! If the Oregon National guard were to be deployed they would be instructed to protect the PROTESTORS not ICE!

Hakeem Jeffries came to play today as Lawler tries to confront him: "You’re not going to talk over me because you don’t want to hear what I have to say so why don’t you just keep your mouth shut."

Wanna know why Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority"?
He knew he said the quiet fascist takeover part out loud.

Trump's federal agents are terrorizing communities across America, but leaders like Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are fighting back.
