I live in Bloomsburg and this is a real letter to the editor, written by a fellow community member. Bloomsburg is a small town but we still have a fairly robust print newspaper, The Press Enterprise. Just because we live in a more red than blue rural area doesn’t mean we are all conservative.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

Can’t post much about the…[waves arms vaguely]…situation but I find more hope than I have in ages in this reminder of the power of “I would prefer not to”

Of misogyny, Musk, and men Women are not okay. We're furious.

“Women are walking around, suspicious and guarded and apoplectic, knowing that some in our families or neighborhoods voted us back into second-class status, and wondering what else they’re ready to go along with.” By
