Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge?

Plunder becomes purpose

Trump’s trying to gut funding for libraries: you can fight back with ALA.
The President's executive order to dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services would be deeply harmful. We need to speak out.
Take action NOW: tell Congress to protect library funding.
