As someone who once held an IMLS funded position, who is married to someone who also had an IMLS supported position, and I work with lots of people who were delighted to hear that collections=data and thus IMLS is a good thing to know about, this stinks.

Cutting Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security will result in people dying.

They're going to kill Libby and all your other library book reading apps, programs funded by Congress which the administration (and certainly not Elon or his teen Nazi psychopath goons) has no power to shut down.
Maybe a day to call all your reps again and to demand action

1/ Why does it matter if IMLS is defunded? Won’t states just step in to fund libraries & museums?
No. States have cut library & museum funding for years, forcing communities to rely on IMLS grants to survive. If IMLS disappears, so do essential services. 🧵👇 #SaveIMLS

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is an independent federal agency that supports libraries, archives, and museums in all 50 states and U.S. territories.
Trump just gutted the funding.

“Transitioning” from 50 straight months of job growth, a 400% rise in manufacturing construction and the best back-to-back years for the stock market in a quarter century. 🤡
Mike Johnson: "We're transitioning from Bidenomics and the terrible economy that was delivered by the last administration. It takes a while to turn that ship around."

Disability is the only minority group you can join at any time. No one asks for it or expects it, it just happens
It’s not a moral failing. You didn’t “deserve” it. Most people will experience disability at some point in their lives
So why do we treat disabled people so badly? 🧵

Let people ask for help.
Let people read what they want.
Let people choose what to help with.
Let people have limitations.
Calmly explain and let people decide for themselves.
The world is on fire, and there's urgency to put it out. But anger is burning up all the wrong people.
