In 2023, Governor JB Pritzker was joined by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, advocates, and lawmakers at the Harold Washington Library to sign legislation outlawing book bans in Illinois.

Illinois made history as the first state to outlaw book bans once and for all.

Marginalizing people, ideas, or facts has no place in our state — and they have no place in a democracy.

This National Library Week, we continue our commitment to free thought and free speech.

Beau's Law has passed in Alabama💙🐾🐶

This is Molly. She was finally found a week after her human fell down a 180-foot waterfall while hiking together in New Zealand. Her human was badly injured and rescued by helicopter, but Molly was missing. A week later, Molly was found at the base of the waterfall and reunited with her human. 14/10

Happy International Women’s Day

May this New Year bring us peace, new beginnings and unconditional love ❤️ #newyear

The monks walking for peace is bigger than people think.
They normally make this walk in other countries.
This year, they decided to walk from Texas to DC- through areas historically relevant in the civil rights movement.
They are essentially walking the 1961 Freedom Riders route. 🫶🕊️

Thanks so much for including me 💙

A few scenes from our walk at the lake yesterday. Ms. Bliss was fascinated by all the ducks, geese and seagulls. #photography #blueskyphotography #nature

🕊️Belief is a beautiful armor
But makes for the heaviest sword
Like punching underwater
You never can hit who you're trying for
Some need the exhibition
And some have to know they tried
It's the chemical weapon for the war that's ragin' on inside
#johnmayer

Alabama truly has so many beautiful places to hike, camp and explore 🥾🌳🏕️
