This was anonymously leaked by several Timberland Regional Library employees. Includes: Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, and Thurston Counties.
Desired outcomes:
• No sexuality for kids. Materials about sex, sexual & gender orientation moved from children & youth sections to adult section.
• No sexuality in children's activities.
• Make libraries places of unity, not division.
A neutral place that taxpayers can be proud to support, that parents can be excited to visit.
• Make libraries safe places of respite, not hotbeds of activism. Nonpartisan and neutral. Earn back people's trust.
• Open and geared toward safety for families, not activists and homeless.
• No rainbow and activist displays. Monthly celebrations aren't uniting, they are dividing. Be beige, not rainbow.
• No dividing kids from parents, no suggesting they hide things from them.
• Libraries aren't places to teach about sexuality and librarians aren't therapists.
• Just get back to being a library. You're alienating people. They're saying no.

Orbán has long been one of Vladimir Putin’s closest allies in the European Union and a central figure in the rise of far-right, anti-democratic movements across Europe. Vance was just in Budapest promoting him. A political shift in Hungary could ripple across the entire continent—and the world.

In Hungary’s capital, and the heart of opposition support, turnout has already hit a staggering 70%… with a few hours still to go. If this pace holds, the country could smash past 80% turnout by the end of the day.

Voter turnout is absolutely surging. Nationwide, turnout has already crossed 66% with hours still left to vote—far ahead of where things stood at the same point in previous elections. But what’s really turning heads is Budapest.

Could you answer this question honestly, from someone who has been saying this for a LONG TIME now. How much of this do you REALLY think is incompetence? Why can’t dems understand this is a coup. What did the U.S do when it installed a coup in Chile? Are dems really so stupid? It’s on purpose.

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes. What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

I don't want to paint a rosy picture, because it's a city under siege. People are being abducted all the time. One person told me about watching 1-2 abductions a day, just in her own work following ICE.

Today I talked with a 76 year old who'd been standing in the cold for hours guarding her neighbors. I was getting kind of chilly, even in the new winter gear i bought for this trip (and I live in the goddam mountains myself). She didn't even have a hat on.

It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Half the street corners around here have people--from every walk of life, including republicans--standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles, which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that tracks ICE vehicles and mobilizes responders.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it. Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

Why do you think the regime uses troll farms that participate in attack campaigns and try to embarrass or humiliate or threaten people who post anything opposing the regime? They want to train US to self censor. They want us to avoid making that post, because we don’t want to be attacked.

Self‑censorship – the voluntary suppression of thoughts or speech because the cost of being heard is too high. Turns fear into a daily habit; people stop even thinking about protest. Or speaking out. People may be scared to post certain things online.

US speaking out and making a VISIBLE show of this regime not being supported is bad for them. Exposing them to people in our communities who don’t watch news or avoid politics and may not be aware is BAD for them. They want you scared and silent. When you protest in your community, that’s VISIBLE.

Preference‑falsification – people publicly express support for the regime while privately opposing it. Creates a “silent majority” that appears loyal, discouraging anyone who might speak out. Why are there so many bot farms and paid influencers trying to manufacture support for the regime? Think.

The Insurrection Act lets the president federalize the National Guard or deploy troops to restore order, but it does not grant authority to suspend elections. Any such suspension would be ultra vires (beyond the scope of the law) and highly illegal.

The U.S. Constitution contains no clause that allows a president or governor to suspend elections by declaring martial law. Any change to election timing would have to come from Congress or a state legislature, not from a military order.

If you are one of the accounts on here telling people that they need to obey in advance because you are scared of martial law and elections being canceled, the psychological warfare that authoritarians use is working on you.
