Good silver lining news but Sonderling still needs to be removed from IMLS

Four Assholes of the Apocalypse

You know what is down... his approval ratings. This PoS has got to go along with his pet muskrat.

🚨 Today, a federal court granted a temporary restraining order to halt the administration’s dismantling of IMLS—a direct result of the lawsuit filed by ALA and @afscme.bsky.social.

Yes! Let's take the wins where we can and keep up the good fight!!

📌

I would also include saving/restoring IMLS. Libraries, museums and archives are supplemental to education.

Statement on IMLS Staff Administrative Leave IMLS is responsible for distributing Federal Funding for libraries. This action will interrupt IMLS's vital, congressionally funded work. We cannot allow IMLS to be dismantled by executive action.

If you care about the #DataRescue efforts, we hope you care about the many librarians who are part of this effort. Speak out about the dismantling of our key federal agency. www.everylibrary.org/statement_im...

Curses, no edit... by this far reaching grasp for a silver lining I mean that there will be more jobs to work on the massive backlogs and repairing the damage done from an archival point of view. Still need that magical funding...

This should be turned into telethon style, let the senators answer phone lines live from the senate floor with their constituents' complaints, fears, and grievances.

I guess if I'm really reaching for a silver lining, If we ever come out of this, the backlog in archives to repair everything will be long. We will have to go into overdrive (and hopefully get some magic funding).

FUCK FUCK FUCK all this madness!! This is beyond infuriating. I am about to graduate with my MLIS and no future

Its largest initiative, the Grants to States program, distributes roughly $160 million annually to state library agencies, covering between one-third and one-half of their operating budgets.

Established in 1996, the IMLS provides funding to libraries and museums in every U.S. state and territory—primarily supporting essential but low-profile functions such as database infrastructure and collections management.

This will have a huge impact on state libraries and museums. Yikes!!!—word is, RIP to the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

All the little DOGE minions can fuck themselves. In solidarity with IMLS.

NEW — Keith Sonderling, Trump’s Deputy Secretary of Labor, has been named the Acting Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), an agency source tells me. He’ll arrive tomorrow at their office with DOGE and their security detail.

When will this madness end...??!! I hope this gets more traction and awareness. LAMs are just as vital to our society as science and medicine.

Good grief, when will this shit storm end...?!
I feel a gut punch from every action these fascist fuckwads have taken, affecting everyone I know in one way or another. Coming for IMLS is getting too close to home and personal.
