I think if the #Missouri government was actually hacked, then that needs to be investigated, no? Not just the form shut off? Oh, was it just because all decent people were stuffing the box? OK then, stop lying and resign for lying and apologize for being a generally shitty human being. #LGBTQIA #Cybersecurity #Terrorism

Missouri Reps Just Voted to Completely Defund the State’s Public Libraries
https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3wgv5/missouri-voted-to-defund-public-libraries-book-bans
Missouri #GOP cut entire $4.5 million state aid for public libraries explicitly *** in retaliation *** for librarians challenging book bans & supporting diversity, equity & inclusion (#DEI) .
The party of #FreeSpeech that hates government overreach (masks are tyranny!) is waging a war on librarians & books. Shame on them.
