NEW: There's no reason to act like Trump is pursuing a trade policy or an industrial revitalization strategy.
These are just sanctions, imposed to intimidate countries and companies into submission like they're universities or law firms. They're what a mob boss would do.

The Numbers Don’t Lie:
In just three years, instances of book bans have quadrupled.
Censorship is accelerating at an alarming rate, silencing diverse voices and limiting access to critical stories. We must act NOW to protect the freedom to read!

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

It's almost impossible to understand why... or to find any legitimate reasons for any action taken by the Trump administration.
@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."
