When authoritarians use power to erase people, public historians must use platforms to protect them. Museums aren’t neutralβ€”they’re either safe havens or accomplices. Grateful for the institutions standing firm. The rest need to get louder, fast.

Wisconsin cannot be bought. Our democracy is not for sale. And when we fight, we win.

Keep a list.

19 Democrats including, Chuck Schumer, backed MAGA Republicans in making corruption, tax evasion and fraud easier. They voted to repeal the rule requiring cryptocurrency bros to adhere to the same tax reporting rules as stock brokers. #3E #EndOligarchy

The Trump Administration’s plan to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitian immigrants in August is cruel, arbitrary, and illegal. The current TPS determination was based on a thorough review of the dangerous circumstances in Haiti and cannot be shredded for political gain.

Elon Musk is trying to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court β€œHis attack on democracy isn’t limited to gutting the federal government. He wants it all.”

There’s a crucial election coming up in a battleground state: The liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court is at risk. Elon Musk is not only determined to infiltrate every level of the federal government, he’s coming after our local elections, too. We’re not going to let him get away with it.

β€œThe unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up.” Some federal employees, both in public and behind closed doors, are resisting Elon Musk’s orders using whatever means they have. nyti.ms/3D4V7T2

β€œIf you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Lake County library leaders expect to see more challenged books A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, according to the American Library Association. Challenges lead to censorship.

Right-wing censors are now "quiet banning" books that they can't removed legally.

Librarians in Chicago have been finding books dealing with race, LGBTQ+ issues or Islam hidden under shelves, in trash cans or otherwise "disappeared."

I don't know what word in the English language --I can't find one-- applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly stuffed pockets.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
