I judge books by their covers.

The Autauga-Prattville (AL) Library board fired the library director and 4 staff for refusing to deny access to 113 books.

Removing libraries to better punish students!?!?

Is this really how we increase student achievement in America?

This is dystopian!

Moms for Liberty is relatively new, but the idea that fuels it is ancient: Moral panic over children's well-being. https://t.co/IWFhS9VerO

Let’s talk about Black physicians (5% of all physicians). We have statistically lower MCAT and Step scores. However, Black physicians taking care of Black patients decreases mortality. If we let less Black applicants into medical school, more patients will die.

Period.

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the herbicide atrazine in water is contributing to youth experiencing “sexual dysphoria.” Atrazine may affect human health, but there is no evidence linking it to gender dysphoria or being transgender. https://t.co/sS1Y68cACZ

@chefsymon - what are those claw-like grabby things you used in episode 4-7 (“ everything’s better with feta”)?

FYI there’s a fake account on here impersonating me and going viral. The Twitter CEO has engaged it, boosting visibility.

It is releasing false policy statements and gaining spread.

I am assessing with my team how to move forward. In the meantime, be careful of what you see.

If you have a legal issue or question, check your local area to see if a public law library is available. If not, search outside your area. Public law librarians are usually available to assist everyone regardless of location.

"That objection to @TheAmandaGorman's book is illustrative," @SuzanneNossel tells @chrislhayes. "It's a few lines just scribbled out, the person clearly hasn't read the poem... and that is enough to get a book pulled from the shelves... denying kids the book." #BannedBooks
