You’re not “only” a cafeteria lady. You’re a nurturer.

📢Happening NOW! Hundreds of Newarkers pouring into the protest zone outside the DHS detention facility in Newark demanding #FreeMayorBaraka!

At the @aaslh.bsky.social museum summit last week, MC @michellenmoon.bsky.social had us each write a note of encouragement to an anonymous colleague. Then she gave each of us a note as we left. I just read mine & cried. Take care of each other out there!

Hey, @museumedrt.bsky.social is here! Welcome!

2/ This week you will read many confused economists and political pundits who won’t understand how the tariffs make economic sense.

That’s because they don’t. They aren’t designed as economic policy. The tariffs are simply a new, super dangerous political tool.

hand-written sign in a window of the IMLS building that says "SOS IMLS"

New — Institute of Museum and Library Sciences employees were allowed back in the building this morning to gather belongings after all being put on admin leave by DOGE yesterday. Supporters have gathered in front of the building and staffers inside have posted a visible sign that says "SOS IMLS."

Yeah - I take pics of badge/card and text the pic to myself with a note.

That NJ Klan project is excellent. Check out the website.

Internet rumors are that Doge occupied IMLS this morning with intent to shut it down. No media present. New acting director Sonderling (already Dep Sec of Labor) was sworn in in the lobby with Homeland Security present to bully and enforce. Represents .004% of the fed budget. Links in comments

DOGE is at IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services)

Any reporter in #DC, please head to L’Enfant Plaza & see what #DOGE is doing to the 70-employee #IMLS (Institute for Museum & Library Services). The help fund every library in the US.

r/fednews 2 hr. ago Join ruskiytroll DOGE IS SCARED at The Institute of Museum and Library Services, 955 L'Enfant Plaza. They are about to start taking phones from employees. At this point they'll trace me because I stupidly didn't use a burner account, but DOGE is at IMLS right now trying to figure out why their silent takeover and dismantling didn't work out so silently. At some point they're going to take employee's phones. The new acting director, Keith Sonderling was sworn in this morning in the lobby (even though he's already DepSec of Labor). DOGE is in the offices right now. Employees aren't sure of what's going to happen and why there's security with the DOGE team. PRESS NEEDS TO GET THERE NOW. PROTESTERS NEED TO SHOW UP NOW. DO NOT LET THEM TAKE YOUR LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS AWAY.

Unconfirmed report from "ruskiytroll"

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.

This is 955 L’Enfant Plaza North, SW, Suite 4000, Washington, D.C. 20024?

in 8-10 years someone from Silicon Valley is going to invent the university, genuinely unaware that it's been done before

It'd be a godawful shame if "hr at opm dot gov" was flooded with emails right now.

Maryland National Guard out of Frederick Douglass parade after DoD order Strict guidance from the national defense department crushed plans for a parade held in honor of Frederick Douglass’ 207th birthday because it was being held during Black History Month.

“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said.

Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

I was prepared to commemorate the #250th, not relive it.
