the explicit goal is to take everything that’s good about this country and smash it to pieces and it’s just so, so depressing
This, by the by, is an effing disaster if it holds up. The number of public libraries that will go under if IMLS is shuttered is mind-boggling. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This is going to kill many public libraries, especially in rural areas. If you use a public library, you will be impacted. #imls is a dust mote in the federal budget. It also provides things like internet at your local library so people can apply for jobs and kids can do homework.

This administration is trying to destroy access to knowledge. Please call your representatives and sign EveryLibrary’s statement to support libraries, museums, and other cultural heritage institutions.
In a new executive order, Trump has targeted the federal agency charged with distributing congressionally approved funds to state libraries and to library, museum, and archives program grant recipients.

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace.

Again: The decades of organized conservative attacks on public education are a massive part of producing this outcome
It is this way because it serves certain interests to have it this way

Literacy is relevant to understanding the election:
54% of adults in the United States read at below a 6th grade level.
These people might not be aware of what the words “fascism” or “tariff” mean, but they did know their groceries cost more.

fwiw there's also a pretty significant correlation between literacy (or lack thereof) and incarceration/involvement with the criminal justice system
Eugenics is a non-starter. Selectively withholding the franchise of voting is a non-starter.
And yes, I think felons should be allowed to vote, and prisons and detention centers should all be polling places. Allowing the government to take away a person's right to vote is ridiculous and dangerous.

So many ostensibly progressive people will see stats like this and immediately start sneering about how we need to restrict voting rights, or breeding (this is eugenics!) instead of figuring out how to reach this portion of the voting public (much less help them), or how to reverse the trend.

shout out to all the writers and artists who take forever to finish something. I get it, bro. I take a long time too. but your worth as a writer/artist isn't built upon production. so just keep striding it out. keep taking those steps. we each have our own race track. we'll get to the finish line

Just a reminder to support your local public libraries! Write letters of support. Use the library often & in many different ways. Show up to meetings.
Library staff have been begging for help, advocacy, and action for years. Please show up for libraries.
