Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

Harvard can and must continue its progress toward viewpoint diversity — while fiercely resisting any government effort to micromanage or shape its pursuit of Veritas, including who teaches what to whom, and what ideas are peacefully expressed in classes or on campus.

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

The Trump administration on Sunday evening doubled down on its assertion that a federal judge cannot force it to bring back to the U.S. a Maryland man who was unlawfully deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador last month.
Trump officials renew opposition to ruling on Maryland man wrongly deported to El Salvador
The Justice Department’s latest legal filing asserted that courts cannot direct President Trump’s foreign policy by forcing the return of a man unlawfully sent to a Salvadoran prison.

Elon fired hundreds of “unnecessary” Twitter employees and the platform has been down for hours today.

Now he’s firing hundreds of “unnecessary” FAA employees. What could go wrong?

Deeply concerning news about our friend and former BF teammate Rebecca Burke whose backpacking trip to the US has ended with her being detained by ICE for over ten days, with no clear timeline for her release. Please read her father's statement here: www.facebook.com/paulrburke

Twitter is down. Tesla stock is plummeting. SpaceX’s rocket imploded.

All owned by the same guy who’s now in charge of our federal government.

In November, Keith Self won his re-election by 25 points with 63% of the vote.

In March, Keith Self is getting booed out of the building at his town hall.
Another town hall today in Texas, where Republican Rep. Keith Self is facing an overflowing room of voters furious about the impact of DOGE cuts.

People are sick and tired of this.
