Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.
Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

Republicans in the House just passed the SAVE Act.
It tells Troops overseas, disabled Veterans, and Military Families: We don’t want you to vote.
That’s not “election security.”
That’s voter suppression.

Trump is trying to deregulate crypto as his personal businesses get more involved in the industry.
He also just gutted the DOJ team that investigates crypto fraud.
This may be one of most overt conflicts of interest in presidential history and it's hardly a blip on the news.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.
