The Book Rest

Give me a book too, & I'm all yours ❤️

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

When the bees go, we'll be not long to follow.

Musk says DOGE ‘restored’ Ebola prevention effort. Officials say that’s not true. USAID’s initiatives to fight Ebola and other diseases have been gutted, current and former agency officials said.

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone

Yes...
But then again, I teach Maths 😇🤣

Andrew Tate and His Brother Are Said to Leave Romania for the U.S. Andrew and Tristan Tate, the online influencers, are facing investigations in Romania and Britain, including accusations of human trafficking and sex crimes.

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

Haven't been able to travel widely for a few years, so I just consider my membership to EH as contribution for upkeep etc 😍PS: I LOVE runined castles etc 😇

Missed my glasses, so had to squint to see the Raven 😍

I've been MIA on social media lately. My husband needs a shoulder replacement, so I've been taking on all his responsibilities around the house (shopping, animals, yard work, etc.) around my full-time job. Tl;dr: Pls buy my books: https://www.tfrohock.com/fiction2

What to know about the Feb. 28 "economic blackout" The grassroots group behind the blackout says it is about "sending a clear message: we have the power."

Tomorrow February 28h is no buy nothing day! Boycotts work; it's a start. When it starts effecting retailers they will make noise. Target notice a decalin this month. I like to make a suggestion, cut down or do not Buy Eggs as long as you can. Big ask, might work! 😏💙💙✌️

Screen grab of the faked pic of Trump wearing a crown put out by the White House, above the headline for my piece in the post above.

Really happy with how the guys at @prospect have framed my post.

@arusbridger.bsky.social and others at Prospect's support for this Weekly Constitutional series of posts is well received.

Yup: chucking it down now after earlier blowing us away 😳

Trump’s siege of science: how the first 30 days unfolded and what’s next The breakneck pace and devastating impact of the administration’s policy changes has shocked researchers.

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science.

Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics".

Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about".

We need to sound the alarm.

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

Ex-NFL player Chris Kluwe explains why he got arrested protesting Huntington Beach MAGA library sign 'You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is,' he told the council during Tuesday's meeting. The chambers erupted in applause.

“I wanted to make that very clear to the council that in a normal city council meeting this shouldn’t be happening,”

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

The US secretary of state is a plonker & fairly ignorant too...

He's 4 mths older than me & I (fortunately) still have ALL my marbles - enough to say he's already declined into stupidity 😟

Just to remind people that tomorrow is the 3rd anniversary of Putin’s unlawful invasion of Ukraine.

His planned 3 day “special operation” is still being slogged out, costing Russia about 1 million men (dead and injured) courtesy of Ukrainian courage.

Be there if you can to support them 🙏

This is significant. Farage is meeting Musk’s preconditions for bankrolling Reform UK.

And here you have it ladies and gentlemen

The truth

As I keep saying - Musk will do to the US state what he did to twitter. Only this time it's people's lives he's playing with not just blue ticks, disinformation and impressions.

"They are not on Twitter, but they are in local communities"

The Lib Dems could not have paid an agency for a better slogan.

The media are crying out for a serving politician to decry Trump, so here goes: he’s a lying, corrupt, incompetent criminal who is a useful idiot to Putin. Together they are literally destroying the fabric of western democracy and European security.
Is any MP prepared to agree?
