I min söndagstext skriver jag om hur folkbibliotekarier hyllades i Sverige i veckan, samtidigt som Trump i fredags ströp anslagen till bibliotek och museer – ett tydligt exempel på hur rädda auktoritära ledare är för det fria åsiktsutbytet och fri kunskap. 🧵

A bullying megalomaniac in the White House is throwing a tantrum in front of the world. How embarrassing for the human species. How dangerous for the world. How maddening to watch. youtu.be/uVQuA4TNgSE?si=RGKa… via @YouTube

I keep coming back to The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows – uncommonly lovely invented words (drawn from real etymologies from around the world) for what we feel but cannot name themarginalian.org/2024/04/1…

Regeringen vill skapa pseudokonflikter mellan regeringen (som företrädare för "vanligt folk") och "kultureliten". Detta för att ta fokus från en verklighet där vanligt folk får det sämre samtidigt som regeringen genomför stora skattesänkningar för den ekonomiska eliten.

BREAKING: Twitter has suspended the account of Alexey Navalny’s widow, Yulia Navalnaya. She just created the account yesterday, when she announced she would continue the work of her husband. If you were wondering who’s side @elonmusk is on.. Now you know.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Yulia Navalnaya’s account was briefly suspended by X’s anti-bot software. This was due to the account’s extremely rapid growth, which is typically seen when accounts attempt to manipulate the system. The account was quickly reinstated and the algorithm updated. x.com/Safety/status/…

The role of #librarians cannot be to hide harmful books from #library users. Instead, we must empower users to approach harmful concepts critically, to set them in their proper context & to act according to our values to create a more democratic & inclusive society. #FreeThinking
