Has has it only been a day? 😔 Gonna go read a book again #transrights

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer. Sounds GREAT to me. Buy independent.

Seems like a good time to point out that you can download from the library of congress, and it would be worthwhile to download probably as much as you can while you can

We could have had a competent president, lower drug prices, home buyer assistance, a Cabinet filled with qualified adults and not sociopaths, global respect, and national sovereignty...

BlueSky has 30 million users now. We need 30 million more. Encourage everyone you know to join. Let’s deny the broligarchs a monopoly.

Today marks 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz, a time to honor the resilience of survivors and remember those who perished. Let us reflect on the lessons of history and commit to a future of justice, compassion, and the fight against hate.

EU medicines agency quits X & moves to Bluesky "EMA will no longer post updates and content on X. We believe the X platform no longer suits our communication needs” the agency said in a statement www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

Only good thing about Trump lifting discrimination laws is that WE CAN NOW DISCRIMINATE AGAINST MAGA- don’t hire them- Ask who they voted for then refuse them a job - it works both ways-
