The Library of Democracy
@libraryofdemocracy.bsky.social
Our democracy is under attack by disinformation, far-right agendas, and unconstitutional threats. I'm an academic librarian trying to fight against this with truth, snark, and humor. All opinions are my own.
We’ll all have to make sacrifices.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I hate daylight savings with a passion of 10,000 suns. Living on a time zone border, the sun will not set until 9:30 some nights, and I never feel like I have gotten used to the change. With that said, don't forget to put your clock forward tonight.

The firing of the National Archivist should be a much bigger story. Trump could now easily change government documents and change history.

Isn't MAGA supposed to be angry about some social media company and its twits having all of their personal identifying information? I mean, isn't that why TikTok is supposed to be "banned."

Call your representative’s Washington offices. Often, they listen to their voicemail or have their staffers listen first to weed out the death threats and nasty messages.
Remember, these people work for YOU! Not the other way around. Remind them of that.
