Better safe than sorry? Well, I’ve grown quite fond of my life of peril and regret. But you do whatever you want.

Taylor Swift just announced the release of a new song called “The Albatross” and that noise you hear is every literature teacher in the country shrieking with joy at the prospect of getting to teach “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”

If you were truly committed to this @jnjnews, you wouldn't try to extend the patent on bedaquiline for four more years, resulting in millions of people--almost all of them negatively affected by racism and colonialism--being unable to access lifesaving treatment for tuberculosis.
Through initiatives like Illustrate Change, we’re committed to creating a world where the color of your skin is not a determinant of your access to care, quality of care or health outcomes.

WATCH: “…it wasn't mental health that killed these people, it was an automatic rifle. I'm a gun lover. I have guns. I'm a former police officer. I’m a former Army officer ... prayers won't bring these people back. We need action in our legislatures.”

With all the book challenges and bans happening around the country, just wanted to send a reminder that teens ANYWHERE in the US can apply for a digital Brooklyn library card, which will give them access to the full digital Brooklyn library catalog 🙏🏾

If you believe, as we do, that a small group of parents like Moms for Liberty should not dictate what books other people's children are allowed to read, please join us tomorrow in taking action on #RightToReadDay (April 24) during #NationalLibraryWeek. uniteagainstbookbans.org/rig…
MORE: Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich, founders of Moms for Liberty, whose members campaign to sit on school boards, have been proactive in getting fiction books that discuss race and racism, slavery, sex and gender identity, banned from school shelves.

We want people across the country to see you can take a stand and let librarians know we have their backs. #ILSOS
A bill that explicitly prohibits Illinois libraries from banning books is speeding its way toward passage by the General Assembly, and the Illinois Secretary of State said he wants “every librarian in the country to know we have their backs.” ow.ly/Gom750NLQqt
