Just as the resistance has to resist PLUS present the alternatives to what they're offering, when reporting on the things they're taking away, I think people need to see what their end game is, what their vision is for the life they're looking to build post-destruction. (see: feudal Network States)
Honestly, I am surprised it’s taken this long. We act like librarians are docile creatures because they are mostly women, wear cardigans and are stereotyped as quiet. But a librarian doing their job well is Anti-Fascist in every domain of their/our work. They/we will always be a threat to strongmen.
Our SLIMY MORON DICKTATOR is being so tough. Firing librarians, kidnapping teenagers and babies, causing Genocide in Palestine. That's along with making faucets run faster, changing geographic names, and making more holidays. He is one tough jackass!👶
He is the unrestrained 'id' of a completely spoiled child cast into the body of an adult. I would be amazed by how many severe mental illnesses he must have at this point. It goes without saying he should not be anywhere near the nuclear codes or be in any sort of position of power, frankly.
Yep!! He's after the MOST DANGEROUS in our society...librarians, school teachers, clergymen, .....THANK GOD, he and Hegseth, BONDI, LEAVITT, M-Elon head, and the rest of his appointees and cabinet members are SAVING US from those 'dangerous ' people!!..
"There were quite concerning things that she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children."--Leavitt. 1) The Library of Congress has EVERY book, that's its JOB, and 2) doesn't give access to anyone under 16.
They spent so much time calling liberals “snowflakes,” and saying they could “trigger” them so easily. There’s one party in this country who has a profound difficulty with diversity. They think they can make it all just go away.
It's about time someone clamped down on these deviant librarians who have been hiding books.
BTW, Library of Congress is charged with having 1 of EVERYTHING.
OMG! Carla Hayden fired by the Felon! She was responsible for all the great presentations at the Library over the past several years. That’s a really big loss.
I don’t see how he can do that because the library of congress falls under the legislative branch. If I were her I would fight it in court. She’s smart, black and a woman, all the things he can’t stand.
I was wondering the same thing. The Librarian is appointed by the president with advice and consent of the Senate, but the legislation on appointments is silent about removal. Since this isn't an Executive agency, it would seem *logical* that Congress would then be in charge of her once appointed.
"purge of perceived ... opponents" ... That's what the Nazis did, getting rid of the intellectual elites that may pose a threat to their ideology... replacing them with loyal "yes-men" not questioning anything because of the wealth and power they got in return...
The Naval libraries are more like your local public library. The LOC is on a completely different scale. 137,000,000 items, staff of over 3,000 people and they are in charge of the US Copyright Office.
And they are Congress’ research facility. Purging LOC will erase our national memory.
NY Times weird headline: “Trump Administration Fires Librarian of Congress
Dr. Carla D. Hayden was the first African American and the first woman to serve as the head of the Library of Congress. Her firing drew a furious response from Democrats.”
Only Dems, NYT? WTF?
Yes, must prevent their terrible, terrible policy of encouraging and respecting literacy and literature is quashed. Nothing juche or Cultural Revolution-y about this at all.
Don't assume all librarians are sweet old ladies. Some of us are raging old ladies, and we're not going to take it any more! We'll always stand up for books, reading, literacy, and open minds. Don't get in our way!
Librarians, scientists, historians, and/or anyone with critical thinking skills, are a threat to autocracy. They want subservient little workers who will do what they are told, without question.
His vindictiveness is warped, twisted, & shows for everyone to see what a weak, sniveling coward he really is. He’s an overgrown spoiled brat who never has learned how to treat others with decency & respect. Misfit!
She’s a #BlackWoman. Two things the #ConvictedFelonOrangeAss #FFOTUS #Führer2 #JustShutYourFuckingMouthUp #YouAreNotThePresidentAndYouNeedToGoAway hates.
If you are “of a certain age”, this is what you were told “life under the Soviet iron thumb” would be like.
Everything they are doing to this country is what we were warned the CCCP menace would do to us.
Seems MAGA has capitulated to the Soviet way of life without the US ever putting up a fight.
The nazis killed Helmuth Hübener because he opposed the regime by handing out leaflets...
His weapons of choice: a typewriter and a radio to listen to BBC to get info outside of nazi propaganda...
He was sentenced to death by beheading on Oct. 27 1942 at age 17... 😨
Librarians across the country have been under attack a lot lately. Their budgets are getting cut, They can't buy or display SO many books now. Heck, the state of Alabama made them get rid of "Young adult" ad mark anyone under 18 as a child. So, your 16 year old can't check out summer reading books

Librarians will cut a bitch.

librarians....
They have no effect or control on educated people.
Also, I've been waiting for ages for a good occasion to post this oldie, but goodie.

Wonder if there's a book on wrongful termination.
Knowledge is power...
Power to the people...

Keep the people ignorant, give them no facts.
Scum buckets are
Sorry, I'll see myself out.

He found somebody actually qualified for their job.
So, of course, he fired them.
