Reddit post from r/fednews by u/ruskiytroll • 12h IMLS to be completely dismantled tomorrow - 3/19 Edit: Institute of Museum and Library Services 2nd edit: saveimls.org Tomorrow morning, Keith Sonderling - Deputy Secretary of Labor and somehow now Acting Director of IMLS - and DOGE are supposed to show up at IMLS and send all of the employees home. Employees have been told they'll be placed on admin leave, with no word on duration or actual RIF procedures. If someone, anyone in media sees this, please be there. Document how they've illegally put in an Acting Director when the current leadership refused to terminate their employees in an illegal manner - the statue says only the DD for Libraries or the DD for Museums can be Acting Director without confirmation. Document how this administration is shutting down the disbursement of federal formula and discretionary grants to libraries and museums across the country. IMLS's reauthorization is up in September. Professional associations have been lobbying congress for the last year and they have widely had bipartisan support - and now crickets. The Rs are understandable; they're complicit and/ or terrified to stand up for learning institutions. The Ds? Who the fuck knows. IMLS, VOA/RFE/RFA, the Wilson Center, and the other small agencies whose federal funds don't even add up to $1B were the sacrificial lamb that Schumer for whatever reason agreed to, and now the Ds don't want to see the consequences of their fecklessness. By the way, anybody who uses Libby or other e-reader programs through their libraries or has ever gotten and inter-library loan... guess where the money for those programs comes from. And basically zero media coverar Stay strong out there, hopefully people will say somethi v when they come for you. 个 2,293 127
