RISE to say #NoKings In America, we don’t have kings. We never will! LFG! Share if you’ve had enough #NOKings

John Cole’s Tennessee: President Donald Trump wants Vanderbilt University to sign a compact requiring the school to adhere to a number of ideological goals.

SHOW UP and SHOW THEM that there are NO KINGS in America. Wear yellow and make this the largest protest in our history.

No Thrones. No Crowns. #NoKings. This Saturday October 18, we rise. Not to protect a broken system, but to protect each other. We do not bow to power. We build people power. social.demcast.com/s/hdaxNfwp

My name is Aftyn Behn, and I am running for Congress to feed kids, fix roads, and fund hospitals. I pledge to be a Congresswoman for the working families of America, and not for the corporations. Now let's flip the table, flip this seat, and take back the house. #FlipTN07

I see that this small-minded puritanical pixie is laser-focused on getting the government reopened and the troops paid.

"Cosplay Karen" Noem can whine about this shutdown being the Democrats' fault, but we know the truth. Republicans control Congress & they let this happen to avoid voting on releasing the Epstein files.

Last week Noem tried to turn airports into propaganda theaters, w/ security checkpoints playing video blaming Democrats for the govt shutdown. 19 major airports, including JFK, Seattle-Tacoma, Phoenix, Denver, Boston-said no. The Hatch Act (the LAW) prohibits such abuse #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

👏👏👏 Bravo, Norfolk International Airport for standing up for democracy and not showing Trump's propaganda! All American airports must follow suit!

DOG HATER & COSPLAY KAREN, KRISTI "PLASTIC" NOEM CAN WHINE ABOUT THIS SHUTDOWN BEING THE DEMOCRATS FAULT BUT WE KNOW THE TRUTH REPUBLICANS CONTROL CONGRESS & THEY LET THIS HAPPEN TO AVOID VOTING ON RELEASING THE EPSTEIN FILES THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top. It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.

The Trump propaganda machine is alive and well. Good thing airports are holding the Democracy Line. Great article and toolkit! LFG www.digitaldrumbeat.com/p/they-order...

Octavia Butler and John Steinbeck made the banned list. Read Kindred, Parable of the Sower, The Grapes of Wrath, and more. They tried to silence truth, empathy, and imagination. Let’s prove they can’t. What’s your favorite banned book? #BannedBooksWeek

Anyone who’s read Orwell knows Censorship Is So 1984. This #BannedBooksWeek, don’t just read—act. For every banned book you’ve read on the Bingo Card, donate $5 to PEN America to keep the fight for free expression alive. 📚💪 social.demcast.com/s/ailDBApy

They banned A Clockwork Orange, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Wicked, Crank and many more because free minds scare them. So read louder. Share harder. Pass the stories they’re desperate to erase. Rebellion starts on the page. #BannedBooksWeek

“Those who ban books fear ideas that set people free. But censorship doesn’t just silence authors—it steals our freedom to learn, to question, to know ourselves and each other. This #BannedBooksWeek, stand up for the freedom to read. Every story matters. Every voice counts.”

What does it mean when a book is “banned”? From challenges to outright restrictions, censorship takes many forms—and it’s spreading fast. The ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom fights back every day. #BannedBooksWeek social.demcast.com/s/RSDLeZGb

It’s #BannedBooksWeek and yes, even Octavia Butler and John Steinbeck made the banned list. They tried to silence truth, empathy, and imagination. Let’s prove they can’t. What’s your favorite banned book? Are you reading a banned book right now? Which one?

Since 2021, nearly 23,000 books have been banned—proof that fear still wields a red pen. They’re trying to erase stories of race, identity, and love because they can’t erase the people who live them. Read defiantly. Share loudly. Rebel with a book. #BannedBooksWeek

George Takei, “Those who ban books fear ideas that set people free. But censorship doesn’t just silence authors—it steals our freedom to learn, to question, to know ourselves and each other. This #BannedBooksWeek, stand up for the freedom to read. Every story matters. Every voice counts.”

Books banned. Professors fired. Librarians threatened. Textbooks censored. The war on education is here and we’re not backing down. Stand with educators and librarians. Show up. Speak out. Vote. Defend the freedom to read and learn. #BannedBooksWeek

📚🔥 Our latest Substack is live for #BannedBooksWeek! “Once Upon a Banned Book” celebrates the power of stories that spark imagination and defy censorship. Read it, share it, and join the movement to protect the right to read! 👉 www.digitaldrumbeat.com/p/once-upon-...

Congratulations to Aftyn Behn! We can FLIP this seat! LFG!

Book bans do not protect children; they seek to control them. They limit what young people can know, imagine, and question. Resistance is Reading. Share this post now to spread the word about Banned Book Week! open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...

I love this idea so much! I'm going to try to organize one in my community! Anyone else have any good ideas for #BannedBookWeek?

It’s #BannedBooksWeek and yes, they banned To Kill a Mockingbird - one of my FAVORITE books - because it “makes people uncomfortable.” .....bro..... That’s the point! Books that expose racism and injustice SHOULD make you squirm. Silencing truth is cowardice. Read what they fear.📚

It’s #BannedBooksWeek: time to honor the quiet heroes on the frontlines of freedom: our librarians. They protect every reader’s right to explore, question, and grow. Democracy depends on that free exchange of ideas. So thank them and keep reading fearlessly.

It's #BannedBookWeek! My favorite Banned Book is To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee! What's yours? Read this piece to find out more about how you can support your local librarians and favorite authors! www.digitaldrumbeat.com/p/once-upon-...

Hot damn 🔥🔥🔥 More of this please!!!

So Jack Ciattarelli’s just fine with Trump axing the Dept of Education 😡 Well, New Jersey isn’t. Our students, parents & teachers know what’s at stake. We believe in strong schools, not MAGA power grabs. The choice is clear: vote Mikie Sherrill. #VoteNJ

In this issue: *Antifa is a people’s tradition. *Shareable GRAPHICS + CLIPS to shred the regime’s lies and mock their fearmongering. *ACTIONS you can take right now to organize locally, fight fascism, and show Antifa pride. open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...
