These "federal agents" are terrorizing American communities. They're descending upon our children in school. They're drawing automatic weapons on unarmed citizens out of ego fragility. They're murdering us in the street in broad daylight and half the country defends it.

The shootings in Minneapolis and Portland are further proof the Trump administration and its federal agents are out of control.
We the people are taking to the streets to say: ICE out of our communities NOW.

As a college student who demonstrably has the capacity to thoroughly comprehend and appropriately follow a rubric to complete a high-quality paper, the University of Oklahoma's firing of Mel Curth while granting Samantha Fulnecky a victory is a degradation to the concept of higher education. Horrid.

From 2021-2025, our partner @penamerica.bsky.social documented 22,810 instances of books banned in US public schools.
Despite the alarming number, there's hope: in 80% of the districts in PEN's index, communities had mobilized to #UniteAgainstBookBans.
