Happy (?) Read a Banned Book Week! Read something verboten today! #bannedbooks

"Whatever the subject or author or decade, restricting access to books by deeming them dangerous or subversive only makes them more appealing," writes @andizeisler.bsky.social for @salon.com www.salon.com/2025/10/06/t...

The dumbing down of America, one banned book at a time

A majority of Americans are against book bans. That won't stop a well funded, fear-fueled movement.

A "war-ravaged Portland" could be a reality under Trump, but it's not "terrible" now

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity.

"To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women

"This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.
