All roads lead back to Project 2025. All anybody had to do before the election was to read the damn thing.

Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called β€œparty of family values” has historically blocked:

-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health

Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

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.

What can we do better today, with more courage, more curiosity, and more generosity?

We need courage in this moment, not perfection.

A small thing:
For a good number of years the bulk of *all* book sales have come from the place we're boycotting.
Should it have ever been this way?
No. Yet here we are.
*Please* make sure that as you change your buying habits, you're not unintentionally abstaining from buying books.

Don’t forget to support indie authors even if you’re boycotting Amazon!!

#writingcommunity let’s start a thread of places your books are available outside of the Zon!!

there are so many ways to support indie (especially marginalized) authors!!

Looking for a small and simple way to #Resist?

In order to effectively #BoycottAmazon , stop using their streaming service. If you can, get a DVD player and DVDs from thrift stores. Having physical media during a #Boycott means no one gets ad revenue, and you can still watch your favorite movies πŸ’•

A screenshot of a poem. The poem reads:
Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.
