Which libraries specifically? So I can avoid them of course.
Did fox really report that? I mean I would believe it because fox viewers are absolute morons but I can't tell whats satire anymore
Seems completely plausible, as part of their rhetoric to turn people against drag queen story hour.
I found the same image from April, 2024. A few articles about it from this week, but also a few here and there, including one post on 9Gag (wow, haven't heard that name in a looong time), from April 2024.
So, if it's real, it's not recent.
I was wondering how long it would take them to attack libraries. FREE books, internet access, and air conditioning?

More specifically, true information is communism. Don't you know history is what the white man says it is? Google has already updated their search results to reflect revisionist history. Once the libraries are gone, that's it.
Oh my god, that's disgusting. Where?
"Don't you know the Dewey Decimal system?"

Libraries are the last sanctuary for the poor and the lost. It used to be the churches. Save all libraries everywhere and build way more.
That's probably why they are attaching them. Also libraries promote learning.
The reason fox news is able to make wild claims about libraries is because its viewers haven't stepped foot in a library since they were in elementary school.
Is that like a "library plus" subscription? Or do I just go to the counter with my card and ask for a drug fueled orgy?
When you join your local Friends of the Library chapter, make sure you upgrade to the Friends with Benefits tier.
Damn, I need to start going to my library more often
You can rent movies and games from the library too! It's totally worth it.
And if you can't physically get there as often as you'd like, most have a great collection of digital resources for ebooks, newspapers, film, etc. etc. that are pretty awesome.
Use ALL of what the library has to offer!
Once again, the unhinged Right's imagined Left (and Center) is infinitely more based than the reality.
You know this isn't true because Republicans want to defund them lol
And Republicans just believe it because none of them have ever been to a library before
Dang: Mine just has books, music, and movies I can enjoy for free.
No homeless people jacking off to porno at your library? Must be nice.
But which ones specifically?

I've been to some libraries where it's for whatever reason full of people either drunk or high causing a ruckus. Then they sometimes fight, leave needles and stuff behind and yell at random people. The library has hired/asked the mall to get more security, but the library has already got a reputation and people have started avoiding it. It sucks, there's very few nice, calm and quiet community places around.
The situation improved this summer since the drunk or high people spend more time outside but now the close by park has been dug up, so they're back to the library.
Yeah I've seen a library that manages to mediate between its homeless polulation and other patrons, but i could see fox news trying to gin up a moral panoc about libraries rather than have compassion for the homeless.
Step 1 of the plan to close all public libraries in the US.
Which ones. Are any local to me?
How would anyone from Fox "News" know this? They haven't been to a library since they burned the one in Alexandria down.
Now they come for libraries, the last source of true information. Once those are gone, history is what they say and reality is what they say.
damn perhaps we should do something about the underlying socioeconomic problems that cause homelessness and antisocial behavior. No? just shuffle them around some more? oh, okay.
So libraries have turned in to dens of Hookers & Blow?!
Wow, I'm going to the wrong library. Where is this library?
Where the fuck did I put my library card...
I don't think we're talking about love here. We are talking about S-E-X in front of the C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N!
Sex Cauldron? I thought they closed that place down!
If only that were true. sigh
fox once again imagining a much more based world to get mad about
Once again, the US is having all of the fun, when we just have plain boring old libraries with books and magazines.
I am only am realising now that "the 7" was probably also parodying "the 5”.
Sex dens, sure, no duh. But DRUG INFESTED?!
Sign me up! lol. I can’t get an erection. I’ve been to my local library a few times, and they have little rooms you can rent for private meetings and whatnot. Definitely heard a couple fuck in one of those, once.
