It's Prison Banned Books Week — a week dedicated to shining a light on the widespread denial of incarcerated people's freedom to read.
We all have a First Amendment right to read and receive information, in and out of prison. Censorship has no place in a democracy.

You want to talk about dangerous ideologies? Start with white Christian nationalism. The most violent movements in American history have all wrapped themselves in God, guns, and the flag.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

i think it's super cool that the government is run by the klan right now
Joe Kent, the guy Trump is nominating to lead his counterterrorism division, employed Proud Boys and Patriot Front members, met with Nick Fuentes and sat down with a neo-Nazi YouTuber for an interview.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I literally kicked off inauguration weekend by receiving a cease and desist from someone who was working for the inaugural committee. I’ve already had someone close to Trump call and threaten to sue me for looking into a story!
The Trump/Musk plan is to legally target journalists and publications for doing journalism. Even if the legal actions ultimately fail, they’ll bankrupt and smear the journalists and orgs along the way. Years of precedent for this, including Gawker v Hogan, financially backed by Thiel

I support this.
Elon Musk cannot dismantle USAID without an act of Congress.
Democrats must use every lever at our disposal to block his illegal takeover and shutdown of an essential government agency.
