It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Heads up!!! After February 25, you will no longer be able to download kindle books that you purchased. So make sure you take the time to download and save your library this weekend. And also, divest from Bezos and Amazon!!!

Buy books in print. Abandon Amazon. Use eBay, Temu, and the slew of small brand sellers we've been kept from for far too long.
🚨🚨If you use kindle, Download your books before Amazon removes the ability next week. That is your money you spent and those are your books. 🚨🚨

Good morning friends! Sending you all a big hug on this Friday morning. Today I will be trying to remember that even small acts of kindness and love matter—and to do a few.

The Trump administration's outrageous cuts to staffing and health care that 9/11 first responders and survivors depend on should have never happened.
These cuts must be fully reversed so our heroes can get the services they need and deserve.

Wherever possible please buy your books directly from authors and/or publishers. Even ebooks (then Amazon can't delete them either). We make a better cut and you get the same thing or better, plus Bezos and ilk don't get richer. Win win win.

There is a nationwide boycott of all major retailers on February 28th. Please join us in showing the 1% who truly has the power. Please buy local on February 28th 2025. We will not go quietly.
so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Feels like we all need to add as much pro-social, Mr Rogers like activity as possible just as a homeostatic response to all the ambient evil floating around right now.
Anyway I just signed up to read with little kids on Wednesday mornings before work.

You should get a library card if you don’t have one already. Then get the apps Libby and Hoopla. There you can download audiobooks and ebooks. So even if you don’t go to your local library a lot, you can still support them and the authors you love.
