When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

I'd rather we fund cancer research than Elon's exploding rockets. I'd rather we fund critical services for our veterans than Elon's swasticars for our embassies. I'd rather we stop oligarchs from using our treasury as their personal piggy bank.

So, the billionaire-appointed centimillionaire in charge of our Treasury wants all those “price of eggs” voters to know that it’s no big deal that everything is more expensive now because paying less for shit isn’t actually the “American Dream.” Is MAGA really that fucking dumb?

Democrats, You don't need presidential aspirations to lead. You don't need the establishment's approval You don't need to have all the answers People are anxious for the future of our country. Fearful for the fate of democracy. Angry at the oligarchs and their insatiable greed Step up and lead.

ULEZ works. It’s that simple. Expanding the Ultra Low Emission Zone wasn’t a decision I took lightly, but the latest figures show that it was the right one for the health of millions of Londoners.

Most people seem to relate more to individual cases than to anonymous numbers. Here is the experience of Roald Dahl, who lost hist daughter to measles: "“Are you feeling all right?” I asked her. “I feel all sleepy,” she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead." #MedSky

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: Trump "is specifically targeting research programs... He wants to compel universities to ONLY engage in conservative speech... And then he's gonna start to turn it back on in the red states-- for university presidents that pledge loyalty to Trump."

It was Republican Congressman Dan Newhouse who introduced the censure resolution of @algreen.house.gov today. Funny how Newhouse didn't have any of that energy for the repeated outbursts, interruptions, and "incivility" of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

I see tomorrow is Friday. Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day? Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else? I just can’t keep track.

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Trump has stopped sharing intelligence and paused military aid with Ukraine. He claims he’s trying to make peace and end the war, but all he’s really doing is weakening Ukraine and strengthening Putin. Trump is a Russian asset. (The Harbor Building, Los Angeles)

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

In Trump’s SOTU address, he claims to be chosen by god and says he’ll take Greenland “one way or another”, “reclaim” Panama, impose punitive tariffs, end “wokeness”… A masterclass in wild egomaniacal bullshit and ugly threat, delivered to standing ovations. Christ America. You’ve completely lost it.
