Remember - not "MAGA", just "Republicans" this has always been their plan.
I sure hope that research is being saved elsewhere to be restored at some point when rational people take power again.
They want them to be as thick as Trump, Musk and MAGA!
Thank God for Mississippi...
is what people in other states say
Cause it makes them look better
Think of it like the KKK is in charge of Dept of Education, with a mix of Stepford Wives.
#WhiteMenOnly is all the History Republicans want to see.
This level of ignorance is surreal. Shame on every Republican & Trump supporter.
The laws are both evil and stupid, and should be defied in whatever way possible.
I looked on the DOGE website and saw EBSCO at least once along with Leadership Connect and other typical library contracts. Been meaning to go look closer BRB

i am sure the fireorg will be right on this.
Too bad we can't find out because all the books are gone.
I just called my reps to Save the Institute of Museum & Library Services (UPDATED 3/31) — you should too: http://5calls.org/issue/institute-museum-library-services-imls-ala

A huge portion of your White population spent decades terrorizing, beating, raping, murdering your Black population. Why would you want to hide your proud history now? Stand behind what you did! Don't hide your pure, white hot hatred under a bushel! You are erasing your heritage!

"Permanent." You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Wow, you think the Middle Ages had virtually no science? You probably didn't read a lot of books on medieval history.

MS removed multiple databases from MAGNOLIA, despite having paid for them.

Since DBs like these are expensive to access, that’s a big hit for independent scholars.
We said that it was a test case for a wider banning of material from public libraries. We were called hysterical.

I'm left wondering, what are they so afraid of?

They move faster than Hitler did, BUT they are still way off Hitler.
Sure they will get there if they are not stopped,
but there are no mobs in the streets smashing windows and burning down houses, for example. There are no public executions in city centres.
But I do get your point
This will probably effect 80% or more of sociology and psychology studies.
America didn't enter WW2 until late 1941. Europe remembers the build up throughout the 1930s. The book burnings, the Kristallnacht etc.
But also bad because...I saw this shit coming, and people STILL tell me I'm overreacting. I'm one of the people who'd be experimented on in the camps, if not outright killed.
....so we can send them straight off to some prison in Venezuela."
Doesn't have the same ring about it.
The only assumption I do have though, is that if it shall ever recover, then it must start to soon, very soon! - before the chaos escalates into a steady stream of irreparable destruction.
