@TheOpEdProject#PublicVoices Fellow, Stephanie Toliver speaks up and out against the people who are censoring our stories and books. This is the work needed the entire year, not just during #BannedBookWeek
The Censors Have Names. Use Them. https://t.co/N6rFSGYmNv
This is bizarre.
The US military is the best fighting force in the world. It’s not weak or broken.
Our democratic traditions—our inclusiveness—is part of the unmatched fighting effectiveness of our forces.
Hegseth sounds more like an online bro than a real military leader.
In honor of Generals serving who were forced to listen to an awful speech, here's an awesome speech from General Mark Milley. “We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution...
...and we're willing to die to protect it.”

The administration just canceled 22 projects meant to protect Black communities from toxic pollution, raw sewage, and flooding. From Cancer Alley to Lowndes County, families are left to suffer. Our brothers and sisters deserve protection! https://t.co/3CX6VFxSjR
They want to decide what books you can read, what history your children can learn, what medicines you’re allowed to take, what surgeries you can have, what gender you’re permitted to be, what sports you can play, which bathroom you can use, who you can love, and who you can marry. They want to own your library, your classroom, your hospital room, your bedroom—and now your television. They want to own the page, the pill, the joke, the chant, the kiss, the very pronoun in your mouth. And then, with breathtaking cynicism, they’ll look straight at you and say it’s the Democrats who are coming for your freedom. Small government? My fucking ass. This isn’t small government. This is government in your bloodstream, in your dictionary, in your bed, and now in your goddamn remote control.

"They told me: ‘You don’t F with ICE! We are here!’ and then threw me on the floor."
"I told them I'm an old man and need my heart medication, but they said ‘No!’"
Rafie Shouhed was placed in handcuffs and detained—then denied medical care despite his injuries and heart condition.
Upon his release later that night—his family was finally able to take him to hospital for dislocated elbow, broken ribs, and contusions on both arms.
Rafie Shouhed owns the Valley Car Wash in Van Nuys, California. #DemsUnited
Trump’s masked ICE Nazis almost started a damn riot with people peacefully assembled on the lawn of the San Bernadino family that they shot at the other day
Congratulations to the people of St. Charles, MO for fighting back against a new data center that would use massive amounts of energy and water.
This shows what happens when people stand up to unfettered corporate greed.
"Think about op-eds and articles as an opportunity to educate everyone about a problem that you have thought deeply about, that you want to inform everyone about, and what to do about it." - @leahfrombklyn during @TheOpEdProject's Expert Talk #OpEdsToPublicImpact
