The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions. As your honestly local news source, we serve our readers first.

Most of the captions were blank, though some posted #TheShowMustBePaused, black heart emojis or encouraged people to vote Tuesday with seven states and the District of Columbia are hosting the largest slate of presidential primary elections in almost three months. Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Radiohead, Cold- play, Kelly Rowland, Beastie Boys and were among the celebrities to join Black Out Tuesday on social media. “I won’t be posting on social media and I ask you all to do the same,” Britney Spears tweeted. “We should use the time away from our devices to focus on what we can do to make the world a better place ... for ALL of us!!!!!” Spotify blacked out the artwork for sev eral of its popular playlists, including Rap- Caviar and Today’s Top Hits, simply writing “Black lives matter.” as its description.

Interscope Geffen A&M Records said it would not release music this week and pushed back releases from MGK, 61ack, Jessie Ware, Smokepurp and others. Chloe x Halle said its sophomore album will come out June 12 instead of Friday, while the group Glass Animals postponed the Tues day release of its new single “Heat Waves.” Instead of being released Wednesday, singer Ashnikko will drop her song “Cry” and its video on June 17.

While it is difficult to see be yond the environment one is immersed in, it is absolutely essential to personal respon sibility. In a sick society, the status quo can be a terrible thing to uphold and protect. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A person who doesn’t know his or her own motives can do as much harm as one who hides or is dishonest about them. To know what you want and why you want it is powerful and inspires trust. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You value intelligence and realize that there are many different kinds. You’ll attract others who value intelligence and have similar or comple mentary kinds to yours. CANCER (June 22-July 22). However you treat yourself, you are inviting the world, either consciously or un consciously, to treat you this same way. To bend over backward and give yourself respect and care is com pletely worthwhile. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You give your love in many forms: in the support of your friend ship, the generosity of your conversational style, your warmth and charm, or the forthrightness of your pursuit. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What is keeping you from at tracting the things you want? You’ll give the question some serious thought and come up with a strategy for adjusting your output to change the input. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Even though you like and accept yourself for who you are, ulti mately, you want to improve and grow. So when people challenge you, it’s not a deal breaker. You’ll see what you can learn. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You want to help people and make them happy, but you also recognize that this is not your job, obligation or pur pose. If you only make your self happy, that’s one more happy person in the world. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You show people what you value in the way you live. It is therefore unnecessary, or even detracting, to say much else about it. Your example speaks volumes. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s something you want to know. You could take a class. You could read up. Or you could just jump in. If the process is left to trial and error, most of the learning will come from error. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18). These independent issues you’re dealing with may actu ally be more connected than you realize. Look for patterns, with a keen eye to that old classic “cause and effect.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As you take care of yourself, you are taking care of all the people who love you, the ones who depend on you, and even ones you don’t know but with whom you hap pen to share a community.
