The Library of Congress belongs to Congress and the American people. [Logos: Show up for our libraries - American Library Association]

For 225 years, the Library of Congress has collected America’s stories and kept Congress informed. The American Library Association stands with America’s library.

Library of Congress staff just showed what resistance looks like. After Trump abruptly fired Dr. Carla Hayden, the respected Librarian of Congress, he tried to install Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and current Deputy Attorney General, as acting librarian. Staff weren’t having it.

Conservatives say they defend free speech but as soon as they can, they use the power of government to censor speech. Just look what Republicans are doing to research, libraries, etc in the U.S. It’s exactly what Poilievre wants to do to Canada #cdnpoli

Canada, as we vote, please remember: Poilievre refuses to get a security clearance in the midst of a great threat to Canada’s security; he refuses to take tough questions from media; and he has promised to ignore protected rights and freedoms… is this the leadership Canada needs?

Today I feel fear. Fear for my country. Please, Canada. Vote wisely.

Federal Agents Could Try to Detain Cornell Grad Momodou Taal Ahead of Court Hearing on Trump’s Free Speech Crackdowns ITHACA, N.Y. — Days after filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration that challenges the constitutionality of two executive orders that violate free speech, Cornell graduate student Momodou Taa...

“The Trump administration is trying to dismantle all democratic institutions, & like other fascists, they start with universities. Cornell cannot capitulate to this. We must stand firm & refuse to be complicit in these unconstitutional actions.”

— Risa Lieberwitz, President, Cornell AAUP

Right? 🎯

Columbia Concedes to Trump’s Demands After Federal Funds Are Stripped The administration has moved to cut $400 million in federal funding to the university without changes to its policies and rules.

Columbia University has failed to defend academic freedom & freedom of speech & allowed a great institution to be bullied & extorted into submission by an administration hellbent on contorting higher education to their will.

The AAUP condemns this capitulation. We can & must fight back.

Trump’s attack on libraries was predictable. Its consequences could be devastating | Leo S Lo The president wants to eliminate the agency backing libraries and museums. But the institutions do far more than lend books

New in @theguardian.com from the President of @ala-acrl.bsky.social:

"Cutting [federal library] funding is more than just budget trimming. It means dismantling essential community infrastructure."

Thanks Andy Cohen for advocating for IMLS! Eliminating IMLS is harmful for ALL the Americans who rely on library programs & services. Sitting across the border and just shaking my head in disbelief, horror, and general WTF. Thinking of my library friends in the US.

Just weighing in on Wayne Gtretzky’s “hurt feelings” report:

You are the company you keep. Period.

You already have. Most of you are just too blinded by a lack of international media coverage to realize it. Your country is literally now the greatest threat to global democracy this generation has ever seen, and the remaining democracies of the world will react accordingly.

Most banned books feature people of color and LGBTQ+ people, report finds Study counteracts claims by conservative lawmakers that books being removed from classrooms are sexually explicit

When librarians fight book bans, the are not just fighting for freedom of expression, but also against hatred and discrimination. #libraries #archives 📚
