Breaking news: Trump‘s top pick to replace the Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden is the woman who made hundreds of thousands of dollars from a go-fund-me after calling a five-year-old boy the n-word at a public park in Minnesota.
Since it’s the Library of Congress, this joke should probably be in LCC. Somewhere in the JKs? (Which is funny because “just kidding” is kind of how the current administration treats the Constitution…)
I am very sorry for our nations loss but am appreciative of her work until this evening. 45 is a horrible man. May he be cursed with the wrong color makeup for the next four years.
I’m so sad about this. She was a wonderful champion for libraries. She created an amazing digital space. Her outreach was stupendous. We are worse off because she’s gone.
Everyone must understand, this is all the plan. Project 2025 will destroy our democracy, and Vought is excellent at his job. He’s the quiet one in the shadows deploying their plan while the clowns perform for the media: https://www.youtube.com/live/C-BZTh1Yl7k?si=m50ibjqpZJO1TabR
June 14 is the next massive protest. Please get out there and make your voices heard. Leave no doubt that we the American people will not live under fascism
Wear that firing as a badge of honor, Dr. Hayden. Getting fired by him means you’re a strong leader who stands for good. He’s threatened by strong leaders, especially women leaders.
He already took away the power of the purse, which is the perview of Congress. They allowed it, so the slide of his seizing control of more was predictible. That should have been stopped the first time he overstepped his boundaries, but they allowed it. Huge mistake.
It should not be a surprise to anyone now that fucked-up DJT is a racist white supremacist. Any non-white person, irrespective of his/her qualification or experience, is at risk of being fired. Anyone who does not lick his fucking asshole will be fired. Anyone who goes against him will be hanged.
Ivana said she only ever saw Trump read one book, The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, which he kept on the nightstand. He not only lacks intellectual curiosity, he has the attention span of a gnat, so I hear he doesn't even read his executive orders.
Can he do that---or is she also someone who is under Congress' control?
Maybe she should just ignore him and say--I am staying on.
When is Congress going to stand up to Trump and say ENOUGH!! you do NOT have the legal right to effect what Congress controls.
Congress needs to take back its power now
How? Once power is relinquished, it's impossible to take it back. When they allowed impoundment and gave up "the power of the purse" earlier, and we were all screaming about it, it's cute for them to think they'll get that back.
It was only a matter of time before RACIST MISOGYNIST Trump fired Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla Hayden, who was appointed for a 10-year term by @barackobama.bsky.social in 2016.
Library of Congress is part of the Legislative Branch, but that won't stop Trump & his Nazis/GOPs from destroying it.
He needs to be stopped! You all need to work to get your colleagues on the other side of the isle to stand up for decency, compassion and respect for the American public and federal employees.
Sad, unfortunately totally predictable action by a guy who devalues & dislikes women & blacks. Especially those that are smarter & better educated than him. What did anyone expect from a guy that doesn’t read?
Shouting DO SOMETHING at the Senator isn’t super helpful if you have not acquainted yourself with the basic facts first. The Librarian of Congress is appointed by the president and “may serve” for a 10-year term with option to reappoint. The term limit was enacted by President Obama.
It can’t be undone. The people he’s firing will move on, & there won’t be anyone to replace them—all the best people will be leaving the country, and future generations will be tainted by the stench of Trump.
No one who’s worth anything will ever want to work as a civil servant again.
Even if the next president hires someone to fill the role of a twenty-year veteran fired by President Trump, it will take twenty years for that person to become a twenty-year veteran.
Exactly. Decades of knowledge and experience are being flushed down the toilet.
And, with as AI continues to steamroll and flatten opportunities for training, learning, acquiring skills & experience, all we’ll have left are zombies.
I hope that you will see that in your own state and what happened at WNMU did more consequential, immediate damage to the communities and people of southwest New Mexico than this. I have given of myself and it was taken. Along with what I gave on your behalf. Local power oppression is insidious.
I'm really fucking tired of congress people putting out statements like this where they say: Jeez, man this sucks! What Trump is doing is mean and ugly and i do not approve!
Instead of fuck no, this is illegal. Trump has no legal authoriity to fire this person so, she is NOT FIRED.
Well, they willingly relinquished the power of the purse, which should never have happened. Giving up their power means they aren't getting what power they had back.
They caved early on, and it's set horrible things in motion. He'll grab more and more.
She was amazing in that role. Why does this administration fear any kind of intelligence? Or think that firing someone like this will actually win some sort of battle? Their insecurities will only grow.
Very early on. They were told this was a mistake (once power is relinquished, it's not regained) and they did give up their power months ago, willingly. Why? I have no idea, and those of us saw it coming when Congress bent the knee called, wrote, etc. to ask them not to do this.
Yet, they still aren't. The GOP are capitulating. There are a couple who are speaking up, and they know they will be primaried, but speaking up anyway.
More must, to stop this. They don't seem to be willing to. That's the problem - they are enabling this.
Coming back to this (I'm bad at notifications and not on much). Other than AOC, Crockett, Bernie, Angus - still seeing cpitulation here. I'm not telling them they *can't* but am saying they *aren't* stepping up.
Schumer can take his sternly worded letters and peeping over his glasses and resign.
This makes me ill. Besides the more important materials related to our nation’s history, there’s also, for us historians of the Mouse, forgotten Disney history to be mined in the Libraries of Congress as well (if you know where to look).
Dr. Carla Hayden being fired is just another attack by Trump on US institutions as he tries to fill the government with his cronies. He even wants the library of congress controlled by his gang, a terrifying prospect. He's no friend to anybody but the rich!
The 10 million Dem voters who decided not to vote did this to us. All because their student loans weren't being forgiven fast enough. Now, not only are they not being forgiven, their wages are being garnished to force them to pay back the loans. No sympathy at all
There is not one single person in Congress or the House who has not benefited from the work of Dr. Carla Hayden and her staff in the Library of Congress. Stand against this decision to remove Dr. Hayden.
Maybe one of the Big Law firms who caved in to Trump will take on her case as part of their pro bono agreement. Let’s see, the executive fires someone employed by the legislative branch from an org they created. Think you can handle that challenge??
I had the great honor of meeting Dr. Hayden when she first took up her post. She is a devoted public servant and a beacon of integrity. The guy that just fired her is a con man.
We need to put a stop to this destruction now. It will require punitive action against the GOP in government, or they will not stop. There is absolutely no reasoning with them.
The reason is simple and obvious. ALL the Republicans in Congress are fucked-up DJT’s asshole lickers. They are toadies without brains, spines or common sense. These g-d bastards and bitches in Congress are selfish, immoral, unethical and retarded. They are only interested in their power & money.
Yeah. I guess the next Gershwin Prize will go to Ted Nugent. Lee Greenwood? Kid Rock, maybe? She was a great Librarian of Congress. I'm sick she's been fired. So WRONG!
Freedom of the press!! Trump is just vindictive and is not keeping in mind the people he is supposed to represent.all the people - rural areas still need Libraries!!!
I would have gone with "by email, like a coward". You guys have limited power but you don't have to restrain your words for some dream of a return to decorum. Not with this bunch.
This is a Backup every item you can and move the NATION'S HISTORICAL RECORDS to a country that will not ALLOW these monsters delete and rewrite at will.
Well you know the repugnuts mantra; keep them dumb, keep them sick and keep them poor. And strangely enough these are exactly the morons who voted for humpty trumpty.

There would be nothing wrong with that, but it would fit that he wouldn't admit it.
Maybe she should just ignore him and say--I am staying on.
When is Congress going to stand up to Trump and say ENOUGH!! you do NOT have the legal right to effect what Congress controls.
Congress needs to take back its power now
GOP are stunned over this NOW and were warned.
Library of Congress is part of the Legislative Branch, but that won't stop Trump & his Nazis/GOPs from destroying it.
America will be Great Again when their access is cut off. ☠️
He can say it but she doesn’t work for him.
No one who’s worth anything will ever want to work as a civil servant again.

Of course Donald can’t abide it.

DO THAT!
Isn't the nation's librarian under the pervue of the legislative branch?

Stop him by any means necessary. Any. Means.

Probably hasn't read a book since high school.
And will have to Google the library's location.
