I'm in South Dakota, and I worry that my local library could be next. I know the director, and she's an ally. Always has a display with progressive books, including LGBT+ topics. But we could lose that in an instant to the rapid spread of fascism.

I especially worry about youth in places like Gilette. In small conservative towns, places like the library are essential safe spaces, and they're under attack.

Long term, their attack will spread to bigger cities too, if we don't stop them. We need to do whatever it takes to deplatform and disenfranchise Republicans before it's too late.

So what I expect is that people like me who live here will press the issue, and that we'll oust Republicans in Washington because without support at the federal level, we've got no hope here.

Wyoming is Italian for "no state here," according to Garfield and Friends. (Wishful thinking on the part of the writers.)
