The Justice Department is compiling the largest set of national voter roll data it has ever collected. They claim their goal is to prove that “troves of undocumented immigrants have voted illegally.” That’s not the real objective.

Horrible. NH lost $43 million in grants for solar power. ☀️

Alt National Park Service @altnps.bsky.social · Aug 5

The EPA is preparing to cancel $7 billion in grants intended to fund rooftop solar projects for low- and middle-income households. Officials plan to send notices to all 60 recipients in the Solar for All program, spanning 49 states, informing them that their funding has been revoked.

Well, a lot went down last night. Hats off to my American colleagues for holding it down—it was giving flip-phone-in-the-hallway-during-a-high-school-fight vibes.

For those of us on the other side of the world who logged off, here's everything we missed. Starting with... the fight. Roll the tape.

Libraries are more than buildings.
They’re portals, safe havens, and rebellion in print.
Support your local library—freedom lives on those shelves.

What’s the best book a librarian ever recommended to you?

The Trump administration fired Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla D. Hayden as part of their sweeping book ban efforts. One of the titles removed? Freckleface Strawberry, a children’s book about self-acceptance. Seriously, who gets offended by that?
