Reading goal: 11/50
Anyone have advice on reaching your reading goal while going through a divorce, coming out as a lesbian, and just generally dealing with the existential dread that is the daily news?

Simply have not been able to get into this book so it’s on pause for now (sorry Eugene!)
Couldn’t decide on my next read so I left it up to Eugene. #booksky 📚

Any time you’re feeling down, just remember Trump's economists are so incompetent they imposed a 10% tariff on 3 uninhabited islands.

Sure, costs will go up on ice, volcanic ash, & penguin poop.

But sources say the severe tariffs will incentivize U.S. penguins to make more America-first poop. 👊🇺🇸🔥

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Moment of clarity today in the Senate where Republicans sided with big banks & against customers. Higher fees, lower transparency.

Now it goes to the House - so call your Member of Congress to ask how they’ll vote!

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

If you’ve been personally victimized by Suzanne Collins raise your hand 🙋🏻‍♀️

But seriously if anyone needs me I’ll be taken to bed like a Victorian widow in grieving 😭 #booktok

Trump: "We're gonna have tremendous goodies in the bag for women too. The women, between the fertilization and all the other things we're talking about, it's gonna be great. Fertilization. I'm still very proud of it, I don't care. I'll be known as the fertilization president and that's okay."

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.

I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense

I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...
