The Brooklyn Public Library has announced that any teenager in America is now eligible for a Brooklyn Public Library card.
Teens can sign out ebooks + audiobooks from wherever they live.
The move is designed to combat censorship, with some titles listed as "always available."

Congrats to @TroyKotsur on this historic moment in our community. It’s been 35 since since a Deaf person has been nominated for an Oscar and we gathered old friends and collaborators throughout the 30 years that Troy has been with our company to say to the world: we told you so.

Dear @IngrahamAngle & @kilmeade
Your network Fox News repeatedly said ANTIFA was behind January 6.
So how come on Jan 6 you were texting Mark Meadows and not ANTIFA?
How come you were texting Donald Trump's Chief of Staff to stand down his soldiers?
What happened to Antifa?
