Just heard from Sonoma County Library staff who are beginning to parse the potential impacts of the current US administration's attempt to defund libraries.

Surprise: it may be unconstitutional, but that won't stop them from wreaking havoc.

More info for everyone who loves their library:

* everylibrary.org/statementimls
* ala.org/news/2025/03/ala-state

And a petition: action.everylibrary.org/eoimls

As always, please call your federal reps.

They ignored a court order stopping sending people to gulags in El Salvador, they're sure as hell going to ignore a court order on USAid.

You're in a constitutional crisis already, everything else is a meaningless

And now the language of Trump and the Department of Defense is that fentanyl is a "weapon of mass destruction." See here: thehandbasket.co/p/trump-fenta

Note I haven't verified the above, but that potential EO echoes language in this DOD article: defense.gov/News/News-Stories/

Basically, they're building the same case Bush built to justify the Iraq invasion.

I'm normally pretty chill, but...

As someone who watched Colin Powell stand up and spew lies about "yellow cake" in Iraq, I am quite alarmed by these three things:

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, who recently faced a Congressional committee to justify the city's immigration policies, called Vizguerra's arrest a "Putin-style persecution of political dissidents."

"People are fleeing Austin, #Texas in droves. The city lost -13,500 ppl to outbound migration in 2024.

The biggest drop the city has ever experienced.

This outmigration has now caused Austin's #housing market to collapse. With home prices down 19.5% over the last two+ years.

Some of these ppl leaving Austin head to the suburbs like Williamson & Hays County, others are going back to CA & NY."

Republicans are responsible for the Trump-Musk regime destroying lives, tanking the economy, & aligning with Russia, so the oligarchs can profiteer from privatizing the federal government.

A cartoon features three individuals holding signs that read "Please help!" with each expressing a different concern about job loss: one due to educating children, another providing aid to the needy, and the last protecting national parks. The caption reflects on the role of DOGE…

His entire admin is defined by madness—in both senses. On Fri, he claimed once that the 2020 election was stolen from him & rewriting history to blame all of our current problems, incl. RUs invasion of UA, Biden -boasted about being a king."

Trump's dismantling of #VOA will pave the way for America's adversaries to have greater influence abroad.

~1,300 employees, incl. Abramowitz: placed on admin. leave +500 contractors: terminated. He called #VOA "an incredibly impt. soft power tool" for the US -shuttering it: "self-inflicted blow" to #nationalsecurity -bc it helps combat CN, RU & IR disinfo.

Most journalists ignore Trump's goal of destruction, emulating & aligning with Putin, for #privatization.

"China's BYD has unveiled a new battery system it says can charge an electric vehicle in just five minutes, which could help it capture further share from direct rivals like Tesla."

Tesla isn't an innovator. Has Musk decided to abandon Tesla to concentrate on destroying most of the fed govt for #privatization & ensure it heavily subsidizes SpaceX?

"The men sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison with no due process incl.:

- A tattoo artist seeking asylum who entered legally.
- A teen who got a tattoo in Dallas because he thought it looked cool.
- A 26-yr-old whose tattoos his wife says are unrelated to a gang.
