ALL IMLS grants restored in every state & territory.
In response to a ruling from a federal judge in Rhode Island, the Institute of Museum and Library Services reinstated all previously canceled grants in every state and territory. It's a huge win for libraries and our communities.
"The reinstatement of all IMLS grants means that libraries across the country will be able to resume vital services for learning, imagination, and economic opportunity. We are breathing a sigh of relief, but the fight is not over." ALA President Sam Helmick. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.

A large (maybe 3 feet wide by 5 feet tall) sign on the end of a row of bookshelves that tells the “address” of books that have sensitive content.
Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.
"Fascism is a temper tantrum disguised as an ideology" is a great line
to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech
2 shots from tv show Frasier. One shows Frasier holding a sign, "You're Fired." The other shows the producer of his radio show, Roz, holding a sign that says, "I'm union".
Happy Labor Day 🙂

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.
- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.
- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.
If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.
The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.
Incredible science. And every article like this should take a cue from this one and explain in detail the federal funding it took to get us here.

Oh, fuck this.
The library and the post office are the only two systems we have that circulate things widely and to everyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. The library is the only one that, for now, is not forced to pay for itself at point of sale. Attacks on IMLS are attacks on every one of us.
Trump! Is not! Acting! Against! Antisemitism! He does not give a shit about Jews! Neither does his administration! His unelected favorite billionaire openly made a nazi salute! Why are journalists taking him and his admin at his word about anything to do with antisemitism! Why why why!!!
Reps. Jerry Nadler and Adriano Espaillat:
"Revoking federal grants to Columbia University isn’t about combating antisemitism... If the Trump administration were as serious about anti-Semitism as they claim, they would not have filled their ranks with unapologetic antisemites.”
