“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

EveryLibrary is deeply concerned by President Trump’s decision to fire the Archivist of the United States, Dr. Colleen Shogan, and the subsequent appointment of a political ally to oversee the National Archives. bit.ly/3EPWmpK Follow @everylibrary.bsky.social to support libraries

I’m in total agreement.

EveryLibrary strongly opposes the Trump administration’s censorship and political interference in Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) schools. www.everylibrary.org/everylibrary... Follow and support @everylibrary.bsky.social to help fight for libraries.

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Yes. All that she said:

Libraries are mentioned multiple times throughout Project 2025. On page five they call for arresting and registering all librarians as sex offenders. action.everylibrary.org/project2025 Follow @everylibrary.bsky.social for more!

The National Archives safeguards our collective history, protects the public's right to know, and ensures transparency and accountability in government. action.everylibrary.org/nationalarch... follow @everylibrary.bsky.social to support libraries.

The parents of these students are fighting for our freedoms abroad, yet those same freedoms are being eroded in their children's schools at home. action.everylibrary.org/dodschools Sign the petition and follow @everylibrary.bsky.social for more

The quality of the reporting on this has been disappointing, to say the least, with only the most basic understanding of what the National Archives does. This is bigger than a little spat with a small agency. bit.ly/3Ex744a follow @everylibrary.bsky.social to stay informed!

Because of DOGE, countless Americans are going to die.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

Sec 4 of the 14th Amendment, requiring the US to pay ALL the debts incurred by Congress, both renders the so-called “debt ceiling” unconstitutional and reinforces the ban on Executive Branch usurpation of Congress’s power of the purse — which is now underway as the White House defies a court’s TRO.

For those of us who love libraries, it's no surprise that they make our lives better. But thanks to a groundbreaking new study from the New York Public Library (NYPL), we now have the data to prove it. buff.ly/3CGF6lU via @everylibrary.bsky.social

yep, now

🧵 If you’re applauding the abolishment of the Department of Education, you need to do a little research. You have ZERO clue what the DOE actually does. Here’s a reality check on what the Department of Education actually does: (1/14)

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Trump fired her in retaliation for the stolen documents case. The only problem is that she wasn't in charge of the national archives at the time! bit.ly/3WTxJ1s via @everylibrary.bsky.social

One of the most important websites in America right now.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

The Trump administration has begun drafting an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education. This action would negatively impact school libraries and literacy rates. www.saveschoollibrarians.org/deptofed2025 via @everylibrary.bsky.social

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Democrats have got the unity and fight to oppose Trump’s illegal and monarchical decimation of Congressional legislation and federal programs. We will show up wherever and whenever the rule of law is under attack by Elon Musk and his interns.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.
