The attack from the right on books and reading continues. Amanda Jones, a Louisiana librarian, faces relentless threats, harassment, and an ongoing battle to protect freedom of expression and access to information. Despite receiving violent messages and enduring smear campaigns, she remains firm in her belief that intellectual freedom is a cornerstone of democracy. As book bans spread across the country, targeting literary works that address race, gender, and history, her fight symbolizes a larger, more urgent struggle. It serves as a stark reminder that censorship isn’t just a local issue—it’s a national crisis, with profound implications for free speech and the future of education across America.

The new documentary about Abraham Lincoln examines the controversial and often overlooked speculation about the 16th U.S. president's sexuality. Through historical analysis and personal letters, the film presents evidence and arguments surrounding Lincoln’s relationships with men, sparking discussion on how history can be viewed through a queer lens. This exploration contributes to a broader conversation about the visibility and complexity of LGBTQ+ lives in historical contexts.

Fall Pledge Drive Begins September 16th

In these times of unprecedented challenges, the role of independent media, uncompromised by corporate dollars, has never been more crucial. That’s why it’s so important that 80% of FSTV’s revenue comes from our viewers. FSTV’s fall pledge drive, which begins September 16th and ends September 27th, offers a special opportunity for FSTV viewers to provide a platform for voices and stories otherwise silenced by corporate interests. Stay tuned to FSTV during the pledge drive period and look for chances to match your donation. Or simply participate early in the pledge drive by using the link below to donate now.
