A vivid example of "mission creep" and "libraries aren't essential services except when they're told to be" that are creating a mental health hellscape for library workers.

Like most library picketers during the Metro Toronto Library Strike in 1984, CUPE Local 1582 Vice-President Linda Cornwell was seldom without a book. Library workers engaged in this labour action in an attempt to secure paid maternity leave, prorated benefits for part-time staff, and more.

Note the workers at Heritage Foundation were appalled at their head saying it was ok to welcome Third Reich-style Nazis into the “conservative” tent. Heritage claims to have left Atlas. Like the NRA, it is almost certainly still in the CNP. Their story is well documented: youtu.be/5sNrZK26-TI?...

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.
