I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

They want us to complain about the postal service, the public bus, Amtrak, public schools. They want that miniscule, repeated buy-in. Refuse it. Appreciate and care for our common good. That's daily and practical solidarity
And they're doing it so that they can retroactively ~ prove ~ that government is worthless, should be dismantled, run "like a business." It's worked in Texas and other GOP-dominated geographies; they're banking on it working nationally.
i think it's great that the nazi zoomers are systematically — and again, illegally — destroying our ability to do anything useful

What librarians have been Cassandra'ing since 2020. This was always the endgame for this current wave of book bans. It's never been about the books, it's about erasing options and imposing fascism.
Sen. Mike Lee has introduced the SCREEN ACT, a bill that applies the "harmful to minors" standard used to ban LGBTQ+ books and resources in schools and libraries... and apply it nationally—to the internet.
