Ten years ago, some people dismissed libraries as "yesterday's" institutions.
They are *the* institutions of the moment. And tomorrow.
Deb Fallows has ongoing chronicle of them, at Our Towns site. www.ourtownsfoundation.org New dispatch coming soon.
It has now been one year since President Trump shut down all U.S. foreign aid and began wrecking the global AIDS response. I have spent that year collecting testimonies from the communities most affected by these cuts: www.forsaken.life

And what are they learning? Experts on the formation of internal security services in authoritarian regimes point to a sense of impunity as a warning sign. Regime officials abuse their power when they know they will be protected, and even praised, for doing so. Over the course of weeks and months, we have seen images of DHS officials abusing American citizens and immigrants alike, including killing them. What we do not hear is regime officials calling for credible investigations into such abuses, or even expressing any concerns. Renee Good’s killer was announced innocent, and both Good and her wife was instead the subject of an investigation, a perversion of justice so obvious that an FBI agent and half-dozen career Department of Justice prosecutors assigned to Minnesota resigned.
What we are watching is a paramilitary force learning that they can kill with impunity, that the regime will smear the victim and defend them. Unless politicians and the legal system exerts accountability, it will not stop. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

ICE executed an unarmed civilian being beaten on the ground, in broad daylight, at point blank range, on camera, and is already trying to prevent an investigation of their murder.

New Yorker: The Shutdown of USAID Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands
It's hard to convey my disgust & moral outrage at Trump & Rubio for killing hundreds of thousands
My team at Duke has spent almost a decade studying the pros & cons of health aid, which has undoubtedly saved millions of live but has down sides. We have a policy paper out soon on the topic.

My favorite English teacher once ran an underground book club, that he bought the books for and let us keep, so that kids interested could read what the school banned.

The image presents a comparison of the leading causes of death in the United States for 2023 and the media coverage these causes receive from three news outlets: The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Fox News. In the footer, it notes the data sources, indicating that the information is based on media mentions from Media Cloud (2025) and death data from the US CDC (2025) and the Global Terrorism Index, with a clarification that values are normalized to sum to 100%.
Does the news reflect what we die from?

My Filipino American History Month display at my library. It’s my honor each year to showcase & uplift Filipino stories. Just 5 years ago, I didn’t have enough books to even put up a display, but now my display overflows. I marvel at how far we’ve come. And yet there’s always room for more. #booksky

This is absolutely a lie. There is no reason shutdowns trigger layoffs. They never have before. Trump is simply using the shutdown as an excuse to take federal employees hostages and to further gut the government.
