Kurt Vonnegut names librarians as the quiet custodians of democracy.
"So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries."

His supporters say it’s just patriotism. But parading military power through the U.S. capital at the command of a would-be strongman is nothing to celebrate. In fact, it's downright un-American.

The planned military spectacle lies outside our traditions and projects weakness, not strength

Humiliated by China, Harvard, Elon Musk, and the federal courts, Trump has launched a war inside America on vulnerable people inside America.

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles.
THIS is waste and abuse.

The burning of the Reichstag in Berlin. Hitler blamed the 1933 fire on communists and used it as a pretext to suspend civil liberties and to allow the Nazis to peruse "ruthless confrontation" with German citizens.

"It doesn’t make any sense. These are the people that were brought to the U.S. by the U.S. armed forces. They did not come to the U.S. illegally. They did not go across Mexico and then try to enter the United States. So, why attack this group? It's simply inexplicable."

A former Afghan National Army soldier applying for asylum in the U.S. was arrested by federal immigration agents at his Houston-area home, according to his attorney, who said the man and most of his family are being threatened with deportation.
Former Afghan soldier arrested at Houston-area home by ICE, stripped of asylum protections, attorney says
The soldier is one of at least 20,000 Afghans seeking asylum nationwide, having fled Afghanistan after aiding the U.S. military during the two-decades-long war there.
