Their goal is to dismantle the central pillars of the United States of America—government, law, business, education, culture, and so on—because they believe the very shape of those institutions serves what they call “the Left.”

Polluted air and water, understaffed airport towers, alienated allies, and now this. Libraries depend on federal funding to bring digital services to communities that couldn't afford them otherwise. #booksky #fotus

Trump’s next agency cuts include US-backed global media, library and museum grants
On the list is the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees Voice of America and Radio Free Asia, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Huh? Why did someone feel compelled to put these four words - Magical, Alluring, Galvanizing, Adventurous - onto a library plaque to spell MAGA?

In this ferociously imaginative novel, abortion is once again illegal in America, in-vitro fertilization is banned, and the Personhood Amendment grants rights of life, liberty, and property to every embryo.

Cartoon "Pearls before Swine" by Stephan Pastis. 1) Two animals are watching tv. The announcer says "In other news today, state officials have identified a list of over 600 books they want removed from state libraries." A horned animal says "why do people seek to ban books?" The pig replies, "Maybe because they don't like them." 3) Horned animal "Yes, well there's a very simple solution to that... if you don't like them, don't read them. 4) "what do they think - that books re gonna sneak up behind you and tie you to a chair and threaten that you have to read them or else?" 5) Outside the window a book is holding a knife and another book is holding a rope. 6) books move away from house, and stand by a chair. Book with knife says "We'll need a whole new plan."
