During his first administration, Trump required the EPA to remove all studies, research, and information related to climate change. Fortunately, they removed it from their government website, but just put it in another online location that was not officially funded or controlled by the government.

IMHO, Librarians everywhere should consider quietly removing banned books, science books, history books, and other books of critical knowledge from the shelves and safeguarding them out of the ordinary course of business; i.e., privately to places no one else knows about.

Alt National Parks mentioned that the coalition has already begun backing up all the websites and data, like the day or two after the election. I'm so glad that they're there, at least for the time being. After January, who knows. .

Prolly need a GoFundMe. Any library that's closed the community needs to just buy books like crazy n have a local mini library at local community centers.

It will be libraries for sure… Trump has never read a book… so he will axe everyone of them if he can!

It is already happening. Remember that he has had people in place for at least four years. The curator at the National Archives is already removing items related to indigenous peoples because can cause discomfort for others. 🙎🏽‍♀️

Things To Do (all porting data to a safe non-US datastore)
1. export catalogue data
2. export digitised content
3. digitise main collections items if not captured
4. record/video main exhibition areas and spaces - user journeys of displays
5. Lockss
6. I dont know re physical collections/stores...

So are we going to start having a conversation about what may be about to happen to resourcing for USA libraries, archives, and museums, if the federal cuts go ahead...? And which ones are obviously most likely to be targeted? and what we can do in advance of January to support? data lifeboats?

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark."

That's how horrifying Twitter is right now.

There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.

Guess we shouldn't be too surprised that this guy... chose this guy.

After we adopted Toro we discovered that his first owner taught him to laugh like an evil villain

Thought this wasn’t real, but then found this. Leon must hate it! 😝
