If you are feeling sad and hopeless that is completely understandable, but it's also a luxury we can't afford right now. Here's a list of some great organisations helping on the ground, just as a handy guide:

This is back to school in America.

Run, hide, fight.
Jump out of windows.
Barricade behind doors in classrooms, dorms and bathrooms.
Duck and cover.
Hide under desks.
Text your parents goodbye.

[Rep. Justin Jones @brotherjones_]

It’s morally insane that a week after a mass shooting took six lives in our community, House Republicans only response is to expel us for standing with our constituents to call for gun control.

What’s happening in Tennessee is a clear danger to democracy all across this nation.

On Friday, @planetmoney did an episode on libraries in ebooks.

I waited on listening, knowing I'd have to take notes and rant about it, because most news coverage is so bad on this issue.

Parts are really good. Other parts are... well...

Get your popcorn.

@hankgreen I got eTextbooks through them for a few grad courses, and it was a great experience. Didn’t use any of the other features

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

At least 33 children have been killed in school shootings in 2022 so far.

20 cops have been shot and killed in the line of duty.

It is more dangerous to be a student than a police officer in America in 2022.

I won't be surprised if, in a few years, we find these districts scrambling to put together resources to create a centralized school library--starting from square one--spending money to redo what they've undone.

[Erica @elamb390]

Much appreciation to @HofiusHallTT for writing this story to bring attention to the disturbing downward trend in school's having certified school librarians. As a SSD graduate and a person with a MLIS, I have some additional thoughts. https://t.co/dQVMfJcibZ

[Erica @elamb390]

Overall, this trend is depriving our students of a complete education. They will be less prepared for their careers, college, and handling real world challenges. I feel like I would be doing my community a disservice if I didn't speak out in some way against these cuts.
