If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

If Donald Trump is successful in cutting Medicaid, no state has the money to backfill the billions of dollars in funding.
Blood will be on the hands of his administration and Republicans in Congress.
Now is the time to stand up for Medicaid, working families, and each other.

Federal judge orders Colorado district to return banned books to school libraries
The order prohibits the school board from removing books “because the district disagrees with the views expressed therein or merely to further their preferred political or religious orthodoxy.”
