AI data centers are sucking up water and power. Industry PACs are spending millions to buy our elections. And AI is already being used to facilitate online scams, deny insurance claims, and price-gouge consumers. Sam Altman's response? We should "accept some bad things happening." Hello?

Reading books saved my life as a teenager, the library was a safe place. I met my heroes who freed slaves, fought wars and became presidents. Marian Anderson, Mary McLeod Bethune, FDR, Dr King, John F Kennedy Golda Meir and Harvey Milks. Books never punched my face in school for being gay.

Let books be. Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, an annual observation started more than 40 years ago in response to a sudden surge in attempts to censor or remove books in libraries, schools, and bookstores. Sound familiar? Find ways to get involved and spread the word: bit.ly/4yvixbB.

LET BOOKS BE. Various line drawings related to libraries and books, including a hand holding a sign made of an open book that reads "Freed for ALL to Read," a tote bag that reads "Totes Resist" carrying a book, a full book cart with the head and tale of a horse with text that reads "A Wild Ride," and a closeup of two feet standing on a stack of books that say "A Soap Box" on their spines. Text at bottom reads "Protect the freedom to read. Banned Books Week, October 4-10, 2026." American Library Association. ala.org/bbooks
