Fantastic #IAML2025 conference in Salzburg. 400 delegates from 5 continents, and a packed programme. So good to see you guys again. My personal highlight so far: the very first meeting of our National Libraries Study Group with a lot of inspiration. @iaml-aibm.bsky.social @dnb-aktuelles.bsky.social

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.

Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
