I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

A bunch of government agencies, non-profits, and other kinds of orgs are showing up here, which is GREAT, because Twitter and IG and Threads murder their reach and don't deliver alerts in chronological order. Good follows also when Trump is about to destroy government services. go.bsky.app/3THTpui

Last week, we helped blocked the dangerous bill that would give Trump unilateral power to effectively shut down ANY tax-exempt organization with no explanation.
But this week, it's back — and now the House only needs a simple majority to pass it.
