A crackdown on gay cruising inside the Penn Station bathroom by the federal Amtrak Police has landed one person in ICE custody. Amtrak Police, unlike the NYPD, are not bound by local sanctuary protections. www.thecity.nyc/2025/09/24/a...

There's already a draft policy to create a category of "transgender domestic terrorism" within the Trump administration. They could potentially classify all trans people as domestic extremists and terrorists just as Russia did.
"Text excerpt quoting Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to President Donald Trump and senior director for counterterrorism, stating that a new draft U.S. Counterterrorism plan addresses questions about a transgender domestic terrorism classification. The passage notes that the plan, referred to as Trump 2.0’s domestic counterterrorism plan, is being reviewed by cabinet members and principals, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, intelligence officials Tulsi Gabbard, John Radcliffe, Kash Patel, and Trump adviser Stephen Miller."

Relevant.
"Screenshot of a Wikipedia article titled 'Disarmament of the German Jews.' The article explains that disarmament began in 1933, initially in local areas, with Berlin being a major target for weapon raids. In 1936, the Gestapo prohibited German police officers from issuing firearms licenses to Jews. In November 1938, the 'Verordnung gegen den Waffenbesitz der Juden' banned Jews from possessing firearms and bladed weapons."

One thing that is so dispiriting about our present moment is how so much is going to just keep getting worse and new students and faculty won’t know what they are missing only the misery of shitty AI and overworked people trying to hold things together with nails and duct tape

Meanwhile someone in this Society of American Archivists conference session just said that the "personal identities" of past ALA presidents "pushed things too far."

uhhh the ALA president is a republican?
If it wanted, Congress could consider the funding cuts in committee hearings and vote on the provision. Republican senators Susan Collins from Maine and Lisa Murkowski from Alaska have objected, but other Republican lawmakers have not spoken out. “As a Republican myself, I would love to hear more from my team on this,” said Sam Helmick, president of the American Library Association.

While Newsom pals around with Nazis and has his staffers write like just totally epic tweets mocking Trump, trans bans are spreading through California like wildfire, ignited by his willing segregation of trans girls just over a month ago.

"Academic libraries have evolved far beyond being mere repositories of content..." opens an email from Clarivate.

I always find this dismissal of the core function(s) of the library depressing and frustrating.

As if our primary mission is neither enough nor relevant. Neither is true.

The New Hampshire government just made libraries a lot less safe for everyone, but particularly for kids

New law to make New Hampshire library records available to parents • New Hampshire Bulletin
Borrowing records at public libraries have long been confidential under New Hampshire state law, even for the parents of a child borrower. A new law changes that.

Brown University is caving to Trump.

They are banning trans women from female bathrooms, dorms, locker rooms, and sports across campus. They're also cracking down on trans care for minors, though that is unlikely to be broadly impactful since it's a university.

The agreement also states, The University will not perform gender reassignment surgery or prescribe puberty blockers or hormones to any minor child for the purpose of aligning the child's appearance with an identity that differs from his or her sex."'
