#TheInquisitor episode of #IndependentLens on PBS is outstanding. If you want to see true bravery watch it. Barbara Jordan has been a hero to me since I was a kid.
When lawmakers seek to review a list of books, librarians find themselves on the frontlines of a national battle. Across the U.S., librarians face the impact of uniting against library collection standards that include restrictions on race-related and LGBTQIA+ content."

Watching "The Librarians" and it is compelling. It's about librarians caught in the middle of the book banning battles happening across the country. Whatever your politics, it's worth your time—these are real people dealing with real consequences. #IndependentLens #Documentary #BannedBooks

I just watched #TheLibrarians on @pbs.org I have cards for the Manhattan, Queens & Brooklyn libraries. I got my 1st one more than 60 years ago. Virginia Wolf said, "Lock up your libraries if you like but there is no gate no lock no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind #IndependentLens
Ignorance & intolerance allows #BanningBooks & creates dumber ppl. History books R being banned b/c ppl want 2 bury hard truths.
Educated ppl read diverse views 2 expand knowledge & creates critical thinkers.
Ignorance helps #GOP stay in power & limits options.

ICYMI: An Independent Lens doc on a prison hunger strike has all the pieces of an interesting story. Does it put them together in a compelling way? #TheStrike #IndependentLens

This doctor is so damn flippant with this womyn regarding her husband about letting him die. "He doesn't have a quality of life & this is what me & the state feel is best".
Da fuck?!

NW: #IndependentLens on #PBS. This epi is a doc about a disabled person's choice to end their life with a doctor's assistance. I think this is up in Canada where they have a program called MAID (medical assistance in dying).
Have any of y'all thought about DNRs & assisted death before?
