Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references. It's brutal. And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

I worked in an indie for 5 years & this kind of discount is a truly massive deal. Big bookstores can afford deeper discounts for a lot of reasons including getting bigger discounts at source; indies have such slim margins to begin with. Always recommend supporting yours!

Protests and marches are great. But this will take withdrawal of labour and forcible resistance. I'm not being self-righteous. I live in Britain, where we are - at best - passive in the face of our society being hollowed out from within. But true things are true.

If an action is not intended to block, shut down, or stop some form of power in a real sense, it is useless or worse. Boycotts, work stoppages, blocking buildings, MA groups, etc need to be the floor for effective action at this point. Clever signs will not cut it.

"Ghost-apples" found on Michigan farm. Ice storm covers rotten apples on the tree. The rotten apple has a lower freezing point than water, doesn't freeze. Apple gets mushy, oozes out a hole in the bottom of the ice, leaving a ghostly shell. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/g...
