So i looked it up and then Google gave me various tweets as well including the most recent from the Library of Congress account. Included headlines cut off by the crop include; "Final Victory Over Germany Is Proclaimed" and "German Surrender Reported" 😐
Twitter account @libraryofcongress It's the 80th anniversary of V-E Day, or Victory in Europe Day, the day the WWII Allied powers formally accepted Germany's surrender. Here are some of the front pages from that day, from the Library's Chronicling America historical newspaper archive. (Hyperlink) https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/?loclr=twloc

This is another level of pisstivity for me.

*Truth rant*

My grandmother integrated the #LibraryofCongress as a black Assistant Librarian.

This is not okay, and it never will be.

"This is going in the inviolate congressional space to access their information," the expert says. "We know that when Trump and the DOGE people have gone elsewhere, the first thing done is they exfiltrated their data."

Anyone else have trouble with the #LibraryofCongress website now? I’m try to get free links to the Congressional Globe on reconstruction and when I try to flip to a page it’s telling me they don’t exist in their collection. This feels deliberate ….

This is a truly frightening thought.

What protections are in place to keep the Library of Congress safe? Are there measures in place for *this* type of threat?

How long until the Library of Congress faces a purge? Should historians be getting what resources they can now? I'm imagining anything related to the civil rights movement, anti-fascism, and even public health could be gone soon.

Ze was de eerste vrouwelijke en Afro-Afrikaanse voorzitter van de grootste Amerikaanse bibliotheek. Deze week ontsloeg Trump Carla Hayden omdat ze volgens de president ‘te woke’ zou zijn.

Right wing lawyers and politicians have been trying to expand the President's power for years. But how can the head of the Executive Branch fire an employee of the Legislative Branch? It is, after all, the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS.

I love these new developments.
