Just go to help chat and tell them you want to return any Neil Gaiman books you have. I didn’t even have to list the titles. Zero questions asked, they just returned the 3 books I had and issued me credits.

a screenshot of the following excerpt from an Op Ed:

"There's a bakery in downtown Houston that makes beef pho kolaches. Pho is Vietnamese soup; kolaches are Czech pastries. The combination is more American than bald eagles.
The United States is obviously failing to regulate immigration. Over the past four years, …
Holy crap let's go!"

The snippet "The United States is obviously failing to regulate immigration. Over the past four years, …" is marked in red and has a strikethrough, indicating removal.

The sentence "Holy crap let's go!" is marked in green, indicating addition.

In fairness, a sexual predator as AG would find himself perfectly at home with the Rapist in Chief.

Well, this is a fun read. Also, I’d vote for the Star Wars cantina.

It would certainly affect me and many colleagues, students, and friends. And even if it didn’t affect me, even if it doesn’t affect you, do we want a government where rights can be yanked back at will? Because I don’t.
