Thanks Sheila.
It is ironic how so many public libraries here in England - UK have a USA connection:

My local public library c/o Andrew Carnegie is now threatened with closure:

The libraries and technical colleges have their own 'socialist' history:

We try to keep health 'apolitical' but the other hard-won gains by 'social movements' (shall we say?) in public (mental) health are also threatened.
The biggest thing we must currently keep quiet about of course is climate change even as the Earth and Gaia burns.
