The Trump regime arrested four journalists, including former CNN anchor Don Lemon, today. This blatant suppression of the First Amendment is part of a larger plan: to control not just what we do, but what we see and access. Watch. https://youtu.be/rEH7sF6pA4s?si=Gk1jawFu20cRuJ1-

Hey @democrats.org, it’s actually really easy. You just need to forcefully say, “We refuse to fund an authoritarian regime.” List the people’s demands and tell Republicans the government will shut down if they’re not met. Then watch as the masses mobilize behind you. If you fight, we will too.

On Tuesday, 4/29, at 10:30 a.m., SC lawmakers will consider H. 4123, a bill that would criminalize teachers and school librarians. We need everybody who can make it to show up in the Blatt Building (1105 Pendleton St., Columbia), Room 110, to speak out against this bill.

Trump’s halting of data collection could have effects that last far beyond his time in office. Even if a future administration seeks to resurrect some of the curtailed efforts, the 2025-29 hiatus will make trends harder to identify and understand.
