Reiterating this, with an addition: JK Rowling should NEVER use the hashtag #womensrights. Giving trans people rights does not negate my womanhood or take ANY of my rights away. Kick rocks.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.
It is blatantly unconstitutional.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling.
People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯.
America, we have a problem!

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

State library chair John Wahl justified defunding the Fairhope Public Library because they were “the worst in the state” & criticized them for ignoring parents complaints.

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.
