This is an amazing lesson on oligarchies and how we fight them. If you have 18 minutes, watch it! Oligarchies seem their most powerful right before they fall. Keep the faith! youtu.be/UlbJtgYEM1U

Helen is exactly correct! It’s the question I asked myself before querying this time (after too many failed attempts) What made my book different than all the others? Focus on that! It’s what landed me an agent! #writingcommunity
sure your opening is strong is worth it. Really analyse what you presently have at the start of your book. Stop asking is it good? Many queries are good. But start asking is it's different enough from all the other queries that agents will receive and from published books,

Don’t forget tomorrow is the nationwide May Day protest. 50501 has been doing an incredible job organizing, and a lot of our coalition members will be joining events across the country.

The mental gymnastics is astounding. But not unexpected.
Peter Navarro on CNBC reacts to the shrinking GDP number by insisting it's actually good news because if you strip out the effect of tariffs "you have 3 percent growth. So we really like where we're at now."

Hey media.
Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are doing a sit in on U.S. Capitol steps. From social media I've that Chris Coons, Brian Schatz and Amy Klobuchar have joined them. Am sure there have been &d will be others.
Do your damn job & cover this instead of bitching that Dems aren't speaking out.

To hear red hats whine saying, “It’s just politics. We’re all adults, why can’t we be friends?” I choose not to associate with people actively supporting a side which hurts the most vulnerable among us, ignores atrocities, & sides with criminals. It’s way more than politics and you’re NOT a friend.

I’m feeling kinda revolution-y. Let’s goooooooo!
April 19th, just happens to be the 250th year anniversary of the start date of the American Revolution: April, 19, 1775.

Covington, WA showed up today in the rain! Hundreds of us. So much horn honking and thumbs up and peace signs. Only a handful of negative reactions.
Thank you to everyone who is protesting today around the country. Just saw a bunch of you on TV!
Keep the pressure on every week! Thank you again.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
