🇺🇲 Un exemple de nettoyage ethnique à l’époque du président Andrew Jackson : «En 1820, cent vingt mille Indiens vivaient à l’est du Mississippi. En 1844 ils n’étaient plus que trente mille. La plupart avaient été contraints de se déplacer vers l’ouest. » (Howard Zinn)

"Even as the White House threatens the foundational tenets of constitutional democracy and continues to slash funding for essential social services, it is tempting to hope that the public institutions charged with promoting and protecting knowledge will, nevertheless, soldier on with their mission. I did…[But] perseverance has its limits. The erosion of these institutions’ integrity —and the growing realization that it is impossible to fulfill their missions in good faith— has made the cost of continuing untenable."

Who will replace #CarlaHayden as Librarian of Congress?

Donald #Trump just nominated #ToddBlanche.

Blanche is a lawyer, not a librarian, and defended Trump against charges of falsifying business records. That's the trial in which Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies.

Blanche has also defended Rudolph Giuliani and Paul Manafort.

In 2023 Blanche was a registered #Democrat in New York, and in 2024 became a registered #Republican in Florida.

"When grant applications are vetoed and whole organizations restructured, the freedom to speak becomes meaningless when disconnected from the possibility of being heard."

"To watch these changes unfold without naming them for what they are is to participate in a collective amnesia about how knowledge infrastructures shape power relations."

Alt National Park Service:
After Trump abruptly fired Dr. Carla Hayden, ..... tried to install Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and current Deputy Attorney General, as acting librarian. Staff weren’t having it.
They pushed back immediately, insisting Congress has a say and refused to let two top DOJ officials Blanche picked even enter the Library’s Capitol Hill headquarters.
