I’ve worked in public libraries for 20 years, today was the first time we’ve had to tell someone they couldn’t bring their chainsaw in the library.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Timothy Snyder interview on CBC
TL;DR
1) Keeping local independent media (like the CBC) is fundamentally crucial.
2) The only thing different from 1939 Germany is we know what happened next. It’s up to all of us to pay attention and change course.
