@GottaLaff Oklahoma really is the worst and I say that not only having been born there but also having cousins/aunts & uncles and other relatives there

Also for those wondering why they’re bothering. 2 reasons 1. Indigenous people are a big part of the population in OK and it will undoubtedly hit them hard. 2. Any state with oil drilling or farming has migrant work.

@Npars01 libraries in conservative states have been under attack. As I understand it there is already censorship in public libraries in OK -kids are not able to access material about their bodies or any age appropriate books about homosexuality and obviously in FL we’ve seen widespread attacks on libraries. Thanks for all this!

@Npars01

Somehow unbelievable sick. So glad not having to experiencing this.

@Npars01 @Danetteb

There's always been discussion about libraries. If they hadn't been invented already, there's no way they would get invented and funded right now.

But that feels really quaint.

It's the gateway drug to the more complex thing:

Now, fascists want to destroy libraries and truth and knowledge. They were never agnostic about libraries. They were always hostile. And it's going to get very shitty. Very soon.

...When the opposite is actually what we need, not just for books, but as a model for all digital #IntellectualProperty!
All of digital IP could be registered in a virtual online "Library", so that ALL of it is accessible to EVERYone, at a basic rate*... so that ALL creatives get paid! That is not happening now.

...certain percentage of people & force them into a destiny of working jobs at Walmart & Amazon & living lives of despair & poverty

All to enrich billionaire donors like Walmart & Amazon.
