Here are 7 reasons I favor audiobooks:
1. I can listen in environments where reading a book is impractical (in the dark, noisy room, yard work, eating, walking, etc)
2. The narrator adds to the reading experience. Especially if there's a "full cast" of readers.

Russian asset Ron Johnson says there’s no money to give Americans $2K inflation checks. But there is money for a despot’s $250M ballroom and enough to give $40B to Argentina’s dictator.
I’ll always remember Ron paying Putin a visit in Moscow on July 4th weekend in 2018.

Like a well-tuned engine, society runs best when you manage the extremes on both ends.
Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

The Supreme Court created Super Citizens in 2010. The government has been serving them exclusively since then.
The Supreme Court voided our constitutionally guaranteed democratic republic on July 1, 2024 replacing it with serial authoritarianism.
I did not consent to this form of government.

There's only one thing my maga family members and I agree on, and it's the corrupting influence of financial wealth used in politics.
Nearly 8 in 10 Americans agree that spending by wealthy donors and corporations in our elections gives rise to corruption — including majorities of Republican and independent voters.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
We must overturn Citizens United.

The GOP is the party of, I got mine so f- you.
When did it become OK to despise poor people? What sort of America does the GOP really want? An autocracy overseeing mass starvation?

If you look around you and a majority of the protesters are older AND not wearing an American flag toga, you're on the correct side of the argument.
The present GOP talking point is that Only “old” people showed up at No Kings!
Yep, Damn right we showed up!
We show up at the Ballot Box too!
You are the First Administration that has pissed off the Grandpa’s and Grandma’s.
You have no idea what you’ve awakened.

This is sick. Several of the MS13 gang members Trump traded to Bukele so he could have access to CECOT prison for deportees were actually COOPERATORS with law enforcement. He betrayed them. wapo.st/4nbNiM4
Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal
To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

One of my mum’s last wishes was that she wasn’t remembered for the way that the cancer had brutalised her. So today, four years gone, I choose to remember:
1) she was accepted into the Royal Ballet
2) she saw The Beatles, twice
3) she loved Higher State of Consciousness by Josh Wink
Love you Mum x

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.
They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Met a sucker family member a few weeks back. He's still all in. There's no reaching these people.
The Qatar deal (Trump gets a free jet, Idaho gets a Qatari Air Force base) reminds me of when Trump floated the idea of an "impenetrable" joint US-Russian cybersecurity unit to guard against election hacking and "many other negative things." 😂 And also 😱 www.darkreading.com/cyberattacks...
