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

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

A notice about the Neiman Marcus store opening in downtown Dallas.

It's WEEK 3 of 5 Minute Midterms. Time to... CHECK YOUR ID REQUIREMENTS! 🗳️🤓 Most states do require some form of ID to vote in person (yes, even "safe" states), and the rules change more often than you might think. Don’t assume it will be the same as the last time you voted!

"At least six babies in Pennsylvania have been born infected with measles, with two so sick they had to be admitted to intensive care. Congenital measles is a disease that’s rarely, if ever, seen in the U.S..." www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.

Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

Understand this. The US has at least 200 Concentration Camps. #FDT #Pinks

beingliberal •
More than 70,000 people are currently in more than 200 concentration camps in the United States.
What? You say: We don't have concentration camps in the US.
Ah, but we do. Historians define concentration camps as sites of mass civilian detention without trial, based on group identity. Our "detention" centers ARE concentration camps.
We need to shut them down.
