"Another dominant narrative about empire today, told by liberal interventionists, is that of the 'reluctant imperialist.' In this version, the United States never sought an empire and may even be constitutionally unsuited to rule one, but it had the burden thrust upon it by the fall of earlier empires and the failures of modern states, which abuse the human rights of their own people and spawn terrorism. The United States is the only power in the world with the capacity and the moral authority to act as military policeman and economic manager to bring order to the world. Benevolence and self-interest merge in this narrative; backed by unparalleled force, the United States can save the people of the world from their own anarchy, their descent into an uncivilized state. ... If in these narratives imperial power is deemed the solution to a broken world, then they preempt any counternarratives that claim U.S. imperial actions, past and present, may have something to do with the world's problems. According to this logic, resistance to empire can never be opposition to the imposition of foreign rule; rather, resistance means irrational opposition to modernity and universal human values."
Amy Kaplan, "Violent Belongings and the Question of Empire Today," 2003

On June 28,1 the Internet Archive is headed back to court to fight for the rights of libraries, readers, and access to knowledge, including banned books. In one of the most under-rated evil lawsuits of our time, Big Publishing is suing them over their program that scans and loans books they own in a 1-to-1 ratio, just like any physical library might loan a paper book.
If publishers win, they’ll cut off libraries’ last option to own digital books and offer them in surveillance-free ways that affirm the rights of readers not only to avoid Big Tech’s data dragnet, but also to read diverse books at all. In a time when some libraries are having to go adults-only, we need border-crossing digital libraries more than ever!
At Fight for the Future, we aren’t afraid to stand up to Big Publishing and say that what they’re doing is plain cruel—or that we love the Internet Archive and all it does for collective knowledge, access, and preservation. 
So, in the leadup to the trial and the judge’s decision, we’re going to get LOUD. Can you pitch in to support some very ❤️Fight-flavored efforts to show our support?
