Roman Farrow is right. I don’t give two shits what kinds of drugs Elon uses. I’m mad as hell that he has unchecked power over systems and services that should be public and accountable to the people.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

There is a full scale attack on the very idea of a public including public lands. Although these lands were made public through theft from Native communities, these actions are cruel and potentially catastrophic.

This action will deliver a devasting blow to America's commitment to preserving museum and library services.
We know this won't end here.

Trump Has ALREADY Attacked Libraries
This action is the first step in dismantling the Institute of Museum and Library Services and eliminating federal funding for libraries.

If you live in an abortion-restricted state, order your abortion pills now. PlanCPill.org will direct you to a provider who delivers to your state. If you live in Texas, you'll need to go through AidAccess.org. Legal jeopardy is on the provider, not the recipient--for now. So order them now.
PLAN C: Abortion pills by mail in every state
Plan C is an information resource for self-managed, at-home abortion with pills. Learn how people in the U.S. are accessing abortion pill options online.

We know that Trump's previous administration proposed cutting all federal library funding every year he was in office.
But what does federal funding pay for, and why does it matter?
You might be surprised!
