PETITION: Don't Let the Federal Government Regulate Your Reading Not one country's freedom and liberty has ever been increased by banning books.

The federal government should not decide what your kids are allowed to read.

Oppose the Federal Book Ban bill!

Sign the petition and defend the freedom to read.

the country is divided between people who believe in antisemitic myths about the world's greatest superpower doing the bidding of nefarious jews and those who don't

Send ICE agents to Iran. They already have the outfits.

When the New York Public Library's wealthy trustees tried to get rid of physical books, & turn the beloved main branch (guarded by the two lions) into a kind of upscale mall, they presented this as inevitable too.

People fought backβ€”turns out people really like books!β€”& they had to drop the plan.

A Directionless War Meets a Constitutional Crisis Welcome to the new era of Trumpism.

Hegseth: β€œWe didn’t start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it.”

The truth: We did start this war two days ago. And now, apparently, we're not going to finish it in a way that will make it worth fighting. And we have a constitutional crisis.

Great week for the military industrial complex- their executives, principal investors, and stockholders. Lots of people about to make many billions from US taxpayers on Trump’s Iran bombings, which are costing us a fortune every single day.

Your constitutional rights cannot carry price tags. The SAVE Act attaches price tags anyway. Republicans in Congress are trying to monetize your participation. This commodification corrupts democracy.

The people who think Trump is going to bring freedom, human rights, and democracy to Iran with his bombings should talk to the people who thought that about Venezuela. Trump doesn’t care about any of that stuff.
