If this passes, is not struck down and sets a precedent then I propose we use it against them and make it illegal to be a member of the Republican party.

Ultimately yes. Like the Nazi Party. But we're going to go through some things first.

If it goes anything like the last time then I guess the United States will be united no longer. Oh well.

Attacking the readers is definitely the surest way to imperil a civilization.

Hopefully it rhymes enough with the original German to wake up a critical mass of book loving fighters.

This person seems totally reasonable and not at all a crackpot

she looks like a realtor (derogatory)
She used to be a TV news anchor.

a professional words-parrotter seems like a perfect Republican fit

She seems like the kind of person who would yell at you for not writing it as “REALTOR®️”.

She’s a terrible and fake person who LOVED her local librarians and spoke up for them at local board meetings less than a year ago while they were being attacked, and now turns on them by authoring this garbage when it’s politically advantageous for her to do so. Shameless, weasel of a human

And here I thought I couldn't hate her more

Yeah, eyes that seem say, “I have a garage freezer full of all the neighborhoods’ missing pets.”

That is a smile that says RUN. NOW.

It’s like she’s read about “smiling” in books that don’t have pictures.

She's like Vincent D'Onofrio in Men in Black

This is the kind of neighbor you turn the lights off and pretend no one is home when they pull into their driveway. This is the kind of person that becomes HOA president to have the power and lets it instantly go to their head. "No judy, your LAWN is full of weeds!"

She looks like she's in pain. I'm fairly certain she's suffering from lockjaw. That is not a smile. That is a rictus grin. Are we sure she's not just a skeleton wearing an ill-fitting skin suit?

IMEX, when someone puts that much effort into trying to give a friendly-looking smile, they've got something nasty behind their back.

It's all about "freedom" if you ask those who propose such things, isn't it.

"Freedom" to be imprisoned for allowing free access to literature and knowledge.

They conflate freedom with choice....and it tracks because choice comes from means. People with means thus have no freedom and they like it that way. I guarantee this woman here would be perfectly okay if public hangings became a thing again

I'm not sure about that. She'd probably prefer for them to be held in exclusive venues rather than being freely accessible by the public.

True....so only the "Good" people could eat lunch and smile while people had their last breath sucked out of their bodies

They’re all about monetizing everything.

I get a very Futurama Nixon vibe from this sort of “freedom”.

We don't want any of your fancy, First Amendment freedom of association nonsense down here.

The fascists are at it again.

It’s hard to manipulate an educated electorate. The obvious answer is to deeducate people and the public institutions that serve them, while providing alternatives with the propaganda you want your electorate to swallow.

What the fuck Why is everything bad it’s all so bad these days 😭🫠

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THESE PEOPLE????

They're scared of giving people access to any source of information which might prove that the majority of what they say is "factually inaccurate".

They're scared of people who they can not control and feed off.

And make them feel even more isolated and a mix of angry, bitter and sad about their very conscious intellectual inferiority (possibly out of fear of shame, being bullied about their smarts before, or just a pointless attachment to ego for ego's sake).
Your first mistake is calling them people.

I saw you speak in 2013 at TLA. It was my first one! I was a baby librarian then, and was entirely dazzled. Thank you for your continued support of what is an increasingly embattled profession.
