The Institute for Museum and Library Services Is Now a Propaganda Machine: Book Censorship News, March 21, 2025 DOGE didn't dismantle the only federal agency supporting public libraries. It was instead turned into a propaganda machine. That, plus this week's book censorship news.

By being “in lockstep” with the Admin, the IMLS will not support the range of projects & initiatives it has been since its inception. Instead, it will support projects, ideas, & institutions which align with values & beliefs aligned with the oligarchical ruling class.
