In a blatant move to undermine indies, am*zon announced a sale the weekend of Independent Bookstore Day. The thing is, indies survive because we're more than a website. We're more than an algorithm. We're third places and community spaces and safe havens.

Today, some good news. Trump and Musk reversed course on an issue that had people really upset.
This shows that standing up and speaking out can still work.
Trump controls all three branches of government but he doesn’t control us.

The Supreme Court is corrupt. And it is not a court, it is a highly radical super-legislature (“kings in robes”).
The courts will not save us, because this Supreme Court will do everything in its power (including interference on TROs as here) to protect Trump and MAGA.
