Iβve spent most of the last decade doing candidate recruitment so I feel qualified to say this: 
If you do not like the person running, find someone to run against them or run yourself. Especially this far out from the election & filing deadlines, this is an option available to you if you so chose!

            If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 
1) The Iraq War wonβt cost a lot of money
3) We wonβt need a lot of troops
4) Weβll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) Weβll find WMDs
6) Weβll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It wonβt take long
All lies.

3. Call other Senator, repeat

IMLS to be completely dismantled tomorrow - 3/19
Edit: Institute of Museum and Library Services 2nd edit:
saveimls.org
Tomorrow morning, Keith Sonderling - Deputy Secretary of Labor and somehow now Acting Director of IMLS - and
DOGE are supposed to show up at IMLS and send all of the employees home. Employees have been told they'll be placed on admin leave, with no word on duration or actual RIF procedures. If someone, anyone in media sees this, please be there. Document how they've illegally put in an Acting Director when the current leadership refused to terminate their employees in an illegal manner - the statue says only the DD for Libraries or the DD for Museums can be Acting Director without confirmation. Document how this administration is shutting down the disbursement of federal formula and discretionary grants to libraries and museums across the country.
IMLS's reauthorization is up in September. Professional associations have been lobbying congress for the last year and they have widely had bipartisan support - and now crickets. The Rs are understandable; they're complicit and/ or terrified to stand up for learning institutions. The Ds? Who the fuck knows. IMLS, VOA/RFE/RFA, the Wilson Center, and the other small agencies whose federal funds don't even add up to $1B were the sacrificial lamb that Schumer for whatever reason agreed to, and now the Ds don't want to see the consequences of their fecklessness.
By the way, anybody who uses Libby or other e-reader programs through their libraries or has ever gotten and inter-library loan... guess where the money for those programs comes from. And basically zero media coverar Stay strong out there, hopefully people will say somethi v when they come for you.

                                            A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says βdonβt buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich. 
                                                
    
    
    
    
            I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!
