Seeing the lead strategist for Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign saying Democrats need to abolish ICE and nationalize SpaceX should be a wakeup call to Chuck Schumer. But it won't be.

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

It was a point of American pride that we do not ban books, that we had confidence in our values and in our citizens, that we could live and work together through civic consent, not coercion.
Obviously America has failed to live up to all of that many times, but this is a big step backwards

Fortunately most of us librarians, archivist and curators take this responsibility - resisting erasure - very seriously, technology being our best tool to preserve and amplify stories. But only if anyone cares enough to engage…backward+forward indeed
This era is strange because it is both socially/culturally regressive, yet technologically accelerationist.
Backward + forward at the same time. With human erasure being the goal.
I think those interested in cultural preservation, archival work— resisting erasure will be *especially* important.
