October was a good month for books! 📚 I loved Arundhati Roy's Mother Mary Comes to Me and plan to reread one of my favorites: The God of Small Things. 💖

Jeffries: "He's found time to demolish the East Wing in the most horrific way possible bc he wants to erect a ballroom so he can be celebrated like a king. He's found time for all of these different things, but somehow can't be bothered to find a dime to extend the ACA tax credits."

Another month where disappearing into a book was a necessary coping mechanism! Vision: A Memoir of Blindness and Justice by David S. Tatel might have been my favorite, and not just because of the dog. 🐕 ❤️

CBS parent company Paramount canceled Colbert to win approval from Trump's FCC to merge with Skydance.
Now ABC parent company Disney suspends Kimmel as it seeks DOJ approval to buy Fubo — and its affiliate Nexstar seeks FCC approval to buy Tegna.
See how this works?

Frankly, I have seen enough.
Secretary Kennedy should be fired immediately.
He's destroying the agency responsible for keeping diseases (like measles and Ebola) under control. This is deadly serious.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this.
The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying.
America really is dystopian as fuck.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.
