"Tennessee public libraries close for Trump-inspired book purge."
https://popular.info/p/tennessee-public-libraries-close

"One hundred and eighty-one public libraries in Tennessee are reviewing their children’s collections after Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett (R) ordered them to remove books with #LGBTQ themes or characters. Hargett suggested that libraries that made such books available to children were violating federal and state law."

@petersuber Maybe it´s time to stock up on books lest they disappear. Reminds me of some other news I doubted at first, but now think are legit:

@petersuber first the books disappear, and then the people who were represented in the books disappear. And then anyone who points out that the books and the people in the books have disappeared, will disappear.
