A number of librarians make this hate clear. But one went above and beyond.

One librarian detailed in a series of seven posts why he/she hates America. He/she did this on Fourth of July eve. On Bluesky. The image in the upper right was included in his/her leading post.
Here is what he/she wrote, and I'll leave him/her unnamed since his/her identity is irrelevant:
Why I’m Not Celebrating the 4th This Year
The disappointment I feel toward friends and family who continue to vote for, and cheer on, those destroying my profession—public education and libraries—is overwhelming. These aren’t just “political differences.” (1/7)
These are choices that directly harm the people and values I’ve devoted my life to.
I’m not in the mood to wave a flag while the people you elected are tearing this country apart. (2/7)
You claim to ❤️ America, but you stand by as your leaders attack free speech, ban books, dismantle public education, criminalize healthcare, mock the disabled, and fan the flames of division and hate. (3/7)
You cheer while they gut voting rights, spread lies, and treat fellow Americans like enemies for daring to think differently.
That’s not patriotism. That’s authoritarianism with a flag draped over it. (4/7)
These are choices you are making that are harmful to real people and to our country.
This behavior of worshiping a false idol named Trump is the opposite of how my religion as a Christian tells me to act and opposite of the way I was raised to “be ye kind, one to another.” (5/7)
This is not “love thy neighbor as thyself” behavior.
And to be honest, the personal toll is real.
So no, I won’t be celebrating “freedom” alongside those who vote to take it away from others. I’ve reached my limit. (6/7)
While others gather for fireworks and barbecues, I’ll be focused on the work of helping this country live up to its ideals—because real patriotism means standing up for justice, equality, and truth. (7/7)
[NOTE: This information was provided to me by a librarian who loves America and who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of job retribution. I'll assume most librarians love America, they simply fear those who promote inappropriate material for school children who seem to hold sway in American Library Association.]
