I’m not caving. Instead of saying the First Amendment doesn’t exist, I’m saying IT DOES, and I’m going to fight them in any way I can: boycotts, marches, phone calls, etc.

Kirk Cameron is pushing a fundamentalist agenda that sees public schools, libraries, and even cartoons as enemies.

America doesn’t need a “war over culture.”

It needs respect for pluralism, equality, and the separation of church and state.

Advocating for Christian nationalism is advocating for the erosion of religious liberty. Greene doesn’t represent “freedom”—she represents a religious power grab. The First Amendment was written to stop exactly this kind of authoritarian theocratic nonsense.

Cracking down on lawful protests isn’t leadership—it’s fascism with a press team. Trump fears dissent. Silencing peaceful voices is a desperate move by a regime that knows it’s losing the people. Protest is patriotic. We won’t be quiet. #DefendTheFirst #ResistAuthoritarianism #resist

People are making copycat book challenges across the country using passages out-of-context that they collect and share online. This novel by a Nobel prize-winning author is the 6th most challenged book in 2023. /1 #FreePeopleReadFreely #SchoolLibrariesRock #LibrariesRock #DefendtheFirst
The Bluest Eye is the 6th most challenged book in 2023. Its author is Nobel prize-winning novelist Toni Morrison. It's been challenged on the grounds that it is sexually explicit and includes EDI content. However, the novel has been used in AP English Lit classes for years and has received positive commentary. This picture provides a summary of the book. "In Morrison’s acclaimed first novel, Pecola Breedlove—an 11-year-old Black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others—prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning, and the tragedy of its fulfillment." - Amazon
