Law Dork can confirm that this is the message Robert Newlen—who became the Acting Librarian of Congress after Trump purported to fire Carla Hayden—sent to colleagues a little before noon today. One source within LOC adds that staff were told that LOC is waiting on Congress as to next steps.

"The president fired the librarian of congress because she put inappropriate books in the library for children."
The library of congress keeps a copy of every book published. The librarian role is administrative - they don't "put" anything there.
When you're not even smart enough to lie right.

In no way should a U.S. Citizen be detained, anywhere, because of their protected speech (and neither should a non-citizen, to be clear). To do so is to violate an oath to the Constitution and the rule of law.

Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics

They don't call it the library of Congress without good reason. Not the library of the president.

What does "rule of law" mean if you explicitly state that nothing the chief executive does in office can legally implicate him www.politico.com/news/2025/05...
Rule of law is ‘endangered,’ chief justice says
Speaking at Georgetown Law, Chief Justice John Roberts denounced “ad hominem” criticism of the justices.

So many people use this material! You’d only shut it down if you really thought history shouldn’t be public!
Some sad confirmation from @bcgl.bsky.social while I was at UW last week—the National Digital Newspaper Program—which builds Chronicling America—has been shut down
Historical newspapers are probably the archival material most used by the general public—for genealogy, local history—it’s such a loss

This is definitely something you do when a technology is very good and doesn’t need intense regulation.
This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years.

'Sinners' might look like a film about spiritual warfare on the surface, but it’s doing something deeper. It pulls back the veil on how we’ve always lived at the intersection of faith and folk practices, even without the words to name it.
Holy and Hoodoo: Decolonizing Faith Through a Black Lens | Black Girl Nerds
Decolonizing faith isn’t rejecting Christianity. It’s remembering our ancestors never received it clean.

Life is too hard and too short to live by pretend rules you made up for yourself that steal your joy. If you don’t like that book, stop reading it. If you want to wear the same outfit you love two weeks in a row, wear it. If you like taking the inefficient scenic route, take it.
