Just donated to Trans Lifeline to help our friends and family being persecuted by this new regime. IF you have some $ to spare, please consider doing likewise? Even a few bucks helps. But if not, some real LOUD support from the cis community would also be great. ❤️

Indie Bookstores Will Soon Be Able to Sell E-Books (Gift Article) Bookshop, a site that lets independent, bricks-and-mortar bookshops sell their books online, is launching an app that will allow the sales of e-books, too.

VERY good news from @bookshop-org.bsky.social!!

YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE]. YOU: I am calling on [HOUSE MEMBER/SENATOR] to speak out against President Trump’s actions on Monday in freezing all federal aid. This is blatantly illegal; the Executive Branch can’t unilaterally decide to ignore laws that were passed by Congress, especially when it comes to financial aid. YOU: MOC must take action, and clarify how they will stop the freeze and ensure that the millions who are directly impacted by financial aid will not be harmed. YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENT]

Call script:

I know you hate this advice. I know you hear it all the time, but for gods sake you need to be calling your congressperson. Now. Today.

If you have a GOP representative, you need to call and ask if they approve of stripping congress of its constitutional authority. If they like being powerless.

Real talk

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

THE meme of 2025 for me.

Watching folks on the ground in Utah or Florida or Texas or Louisiana who've been doing anti-book ban work for years begging you for help and giving you action items that are very easy to follow and yet you're still screaming BUY THE BOOKS.

You don't care about anyone but your own damn selves.
