Molly White<p>If Keith Sonderling truly wanted to “ensure we preserve our country’s core values”, he would not be placing libraries “in lockstep with this Administration” and ordering them to “focus on patriotism” or “promote American exceptionalism”.</p><p>Ministry of Truth shit.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>libraries</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/IMLS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IMLS</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/USpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USpolitics</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USpol</span></a></p>

Becky Yoose<p>And for the part about being in "lockstep" with the current administration and promoting "American exceptionalism" - </p><p>With all due respect, Acting Director Sonderling - you can lockstep your goosestepping fascist ass all the way into the fucking Potomac.</p><p><a href="https://glammr.us/tags/IMLS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IMLS</span></a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>libraries</span></a></p>
Becky Yoose<p>A good portion of my consulting work (data privacy in libraries) wouldn't have happened if it weren't for IMLS funds.</p><p>Libraries are already strapped for resources. For a good portion of libraries the only feasible way to fund critical operations, services, and development would be through grants. And most of those grants are IMLS funded.</p><p>In short, vital research, programming, and services provided by libraries wouldn't have happened without the IMLS.</p><p><a href="https://glammr.us/tags/IMLS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IMLS</span></a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>libraries</span></a></p>
