SCOOP: DOGE notified the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences (IMLS) today that the entire staff is being put on administrative leave effective immediately, Iโ€™ve learned from an agency source.

Theyโ€™ll be cancelling huge swaths of grants/contracts and starting a Reduction in Force (RIF).

๐ŸงตBrought to you by the Laken Riley Act (that many Dems supported) which mandates deportation for minor theft offenses, disregarding context. It also allows for indefinite detention without due process, rigidly enforcing deportation quotas over fairness and family unity.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

This has nothing to do w/ cutting waste, abuse, and fraud. Theyโ€™re taking steps to privatize services for lucrative Govโ€™t contracts for the oligarchy.
