  "textContent": "When I told coworkers and friends I was going to see a documentary about the right-wing takeover of a small public Florida college, the reaction was immediate and unanimous: _Why would you do that to yourself? Too depressing. I’d be too angry._\n\nThey weren’t wrong. Premiering at SXSW last month and directed by Patrick Bresnan, _First They Came for My College_ is, at times, almost unbearable to watch—a slow, procedural dismantling of a public institution, carried out in meeting rooms and press conferences and budget lines.\n\nBut what stayed with me wasn’t only the anger—it was the stubborn, surprising insistence on community, joy and showing up anyway.\n\nThe post ‘First They Came for My College’: The Takeover of a Florida College and the Students Who Refused to Disappear appeared first on Ms. Magazine.",
