This is a great ode to booksellers - definitely makes me appreciate the folks that take my recs (and buy them!) even more 🥹
Let's talk about books and the public trust.
📚🧵
Something that is easy to forget, in these days of barcode-scanning / auto-adjust pricing on third-party platforms for pennies plus shipping:
Booksellers are not merely people who sell some popular books in a competitive market.

If you want to push back against tech's encroachment into every corner of our lives, you have to read books. They're eager to create a future in which most people are illiterate and hooked on slop, a world without imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

really does feel like if we can cyberbully the House into passing changes on the shit they openly hate and get it kicked back upstairs again there’s a chance it might not survive the Senate a second time

The package now goes to the House who is expected to vote on it this week. Any changes to the bill in the House will force the Senate to take up the bill again.
The current bill as written raises the debt limit by $5 trillion.

Terrible Gallup poll today. Lots of bad anti-trans sentiment, but this one really blew my mind and should be VERY eye opening to our LGB folks:
America is about to cross back over into being gay or lesbian is something that is caused externally (and therefore "fixable" with conversion therapy)

Reminder - those "less lethal" sanitised munitions are the size of your hand.
They are firing directly at people to cause the maximum amount of damage they can - broken bones, soft tissue and organ damage.

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets.
These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

Just spoke with my CDC sources
They said a new COVID-19 wave is hitting NYC and LA.
Cases up~20% this week expected to rise further over the next month.
Exactly 4 months since the January 20 peak, the virus is resurging.
