MAGA is willfully wrecking america's university system—the envy of the world, the place where ambitious strivers from around the world came to learn & also make contributions to the US—because MAGA hates people who have become educated enough to think for themselves

This bill is absolutely insane, and basically begs for the necessity of librarian bouncers, keepin teens away from forbidden sections of the library
It's absurd on its face, misleading, and will ultimately be needlessly expensive-- a similar bill in ID led almost immediately to litigation.

Trump has indefinitely withdrawn federal funding for:
• Investigating child sexual abuse and internet crimes against kids;
• Responding to reports of missing children;
• Preventing youth violence

The Trump Administration’s War on Children
The administration is quietly putting America’s children at risk by cutting funds and manpower for investigating child abuse, enforcing child support payments, providing child care and much more.

The international rules-based order was founded on the promise that even in war, humanity would prevail.
But in Gaza, that promise lies in ruins. The medic massacre is the largest killing of humanitarian workers. Israel must be held accountable, Mohamed Duar writes 🔗 www.newarab.com/opinion/gaza...

I tell kids every time I'm asked to come present about book bans that they exist bc there are people afraid of *them* and want to cheat them of their power.
If young people weren't so necessary to the future, they wouldn't be trying so hard to strip them of all their power-- knowledge and voting.

The House is set to vote today on Republicans' SAVE Act, which is expected to disenfranchise millions of eligible voters + disproportionately impact women + young people.
Voting rights orgs are urging people to call their reps to tell them to oppose this bill.
