like if you don't know what Shelby v Holder is off the top of your head, you're not ready to talk about the threats to voting in November, and that is *so dangerous* because we need everyone to be focused on the extremely real methods by which they've been getting away with this under your nose!

So if some places are “people here really don’t debate who gets to be a person; you won’t get traction with that,” I think that’s perfectly fine. That’s why it’s social media and not mandatory interactions media.

Do you value your library?
Trump just ordered the dismantling of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the key source of federal support for libraries.
Libraries are vital social infrastructure, the foundations of an open, democratic society. Gutting them means gutting our own communities.

Trump Orders Gutting of 7 Agencies, Including Voice of America’s Parent
The order targeting the agencies, largely obscure entities that address issues like labor mediation and homelessness prevention, appeared to test the bounds of the president’s power.

The library and the post office are the only two systems we have that circulate things widely and to everyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. The library is the only one that, for now, is not forced to pay for itself at point of sale. Attacks on IMLS are attacks on every one of us.

Because this is getting downplayed in some of the coverage, the racist staffer DOGE rehired isn’t a case of “stupid things he wrote years ago as a teen.” He posted about how we should “normalize Indian hate” IN SEPTEMBER.

None of us are free until all of us are free. If trans people aren’t safe, neither am I. I know who these people are because they are who they have always been.
The fundamental point is: they are coming for trans people because they are coming for queer people because they are coming for cis women because they are coming for Black people

I've heard a number of people say, "I live in a safe blue district/state--there's no point in calling my reps since they're already on the right side." Yes, there is: You can call and insist that they be among the loudest voices on the issues you care about, since they can afford to be.

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others
