SCOOP: DOGE notified the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences (IMLS) today that the entire staff is being put on administrative leave effective immediately, I’ve learned from an agency source.
They’ll be cancelling huge swaths of grants/contracts and starting a Reduction in Force (RIF).

people's parents thought up CDBG, Community Development Block Grants, and those would lump in things being eliminated at the federal level. These people just keep the money.
These idiots have no idea what they are doing.

We're gonna lose a lot of information to this.
This might as well be a second burning of the library at alexandria for us.
-Reading is(not) fundamental
-Congress is silent
DOGE is the "prize crew".

Maybe you don’t succeed. But you delayed the regimes plans by seconds to months.
Resistance takes more regime resources than compliance also. People. Equipment.
Delaying isn’t a loss.
MUSK WAS NOT ELECTED TO DO THIS.
TRUMP WASN'T EITHER.
TRUMP IS RUINING OUR COUNTRY, OUR CIVIL RIGHTS & OUR SOCIAL SERVICE NETWORK.
WE PAID TAXES FOR THESE BENEFITS!
WE NEED THESE BENEFITS!
WE ARE ENTITLED TO THESE BENEFITS!
RESTORE ALL THE JOBS! REHIRE THESE PEOPLE!
NOW!
electoral college … terribly
inefficient waste of a way to
run elections.
As a genius guy said recently :
“everything’s computer!” …
It’s a purposeful takedown of our entire government.
Do we need to be at night time for it to work? Asking for magic purveyors in semi-secret.
Just wondering who the constituents are
We lack the courage of his #Jan6 insuurection and need it.

Any good reality TV on tonight?
welcome to the land of the cretins.
client of the Talking Books service 🙄.
I feel like you could disappear these guys like ICE does and no one would notice.
It's time to scare these little shitheads.
why is no one defending our country from these scumbags
Get ready for some serious legal woes, bitches. Who knows, maybe Skadden will take up your defense.
Remember, there are 351+ million SSN active in the USA
Displacing former head with 30 years of government and international relations experience.
Musk and his hackers=criminals attacking our country

By the people that you lie to
So when they turn their backs on you
You’ll get the chance to put the knife in
They should be laughed at and escorted out. Told to go home to clean their room. I mean their mom's basement. Whatever. Same thing.
“Please understand that this action is not punitive but rather is taken to facilitate the work and operations of the agency.”
Your country is being subverted by creepy little incel bros and Americans ARE DOING NOTHING !!!
Not a peep, not a sound.
Just walking in and laying down in the grave waiting for a bullet.
All that American bluster……. And nothing.
Thanks for the sneak preview, library leaders.
And you’re not seeing the actions people *are* taking because our media refuses to broadcast it.
Now make yourself useful & volunteer for Indivisible.
Clean your own damn house !
I am busy preparing , protecting, boycotting and completely changing my life to protect my country from Americans.
Don’t worry I’m on it.
I don't understand how paying people to not do jobs is efficient, but logic has not played much of a part in these proceedings.
Fucking assholes.
Also there has to be affordable legal representation.
America wants to know.
Fuck those guys.
Please delete your post.

And ..
What ?
You mean 2 million people in Gaza?
we apologize, dear viewers
There is no need to panic
There was error
The news is no longer important🇵🇸💔
WHAT are we even paying federal taxes for?

So did Chuck lie, or is Chuck incompetent. (Both I know)
We need to get arrested, injured or killed when these goons show up rather than resignedly letting them do their damage.
They’ll tell you they are concerned or write an OpEd and then do nothing
This is just what state violence looks like.
Obviously there could be more and larger ones, but that will always be true.
2. There are a lot of protests going on, but they only get covered if they are violent.
3. Most Americans don't have labor protections, so striking is not an option unless we want to lose our jobs, healthcare, housing.
On a more cynical note, it's kinda too late; our representative democracy doesn't have another performance review for 18mo.
Some of it's working, but to be perfectly honest we're gonna need a few more Luigis before we get out of this. It's too far gone.
