Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

You cannot deport an idea. Mahmoud Khalil sued senior administration officials over a conspiracy to strip him of his constitutional rights, and the campus organizer in the tee watched a classmate go through the same tactic and watched the idea he was punished for spread to three more campuses that semester. This tee names what the tactic misunderstands.

Wear it to the campus rally, the free speech panel, the courthouse steps, the immigration vigil, and the family dinner where a relative says he should not have said it. It is a strong gift for a campus organizer, a civil liberties lawyer, a free speech professor, and the friend who kept saying it.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and three lines that read across a campus free speech panel. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the three-campuses entry in the resist and anti-fascist collection.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Would a campus group order these for the rally? Groups do. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do people pick? Black by a wide margin. White for the vigil.

How does the 1717 fit? True to size, relaxed body. Order your usual.

Wear it to: the march, the town hall, the No Kings day of action, the family dinner.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
