Seems appropriate, timely

🚨ALERT: Elon Musk is now trying to buy a seat in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race on April 1. Right before he endorsed Brad Schimel, Tesla SUED Wisconsin. He’s not buying a judge. He’s buying a ruling. Why aren’t more Democrats talking about this??

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

I'd love 232 more followers tonight! Hit my button so we can all learn together, then topple an idiot dictator. Together. RT and help me out! 💙💙💙🍁🍁🌈🌈🌈 #BLM #LGBTQ #Canada #Mexico #Greenland I'm just trying to find NPR on my car radio! 😀 I'm fun! Hit it!

On #WomensHistoryMonth, let's remember all the Conservative MAGA Evangelical women who want to erase any progress women have made. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-sad-mi...

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

It's not just a tired meme: I hate when I wake up and drump is still president. I start feeling all positive and then it hits me. 🥺

rfk used the phrase "red-headed stepchild" (with regard to Indian concerns) My disgust deepens

My almost-80 y.o. mom was worried "with all this stuff in the govt" that she should not have the 2 $100 bills in her dresser. Asked me to break them into smaller bills for her. 🥺

Not Black HISTORY - but celebrating #blackhistorymonth with this fun

Lately, I'm realizing that not only do I not love this nation but I really don't like it very much, either: not the one we have been and certainly not the one I see us becoming now that we have rejected decency and elected inhumanity. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/for-americ...

If you are a BLACK INDIE AUTHOR, reply to this tweet with a blurb about your book and a link of where to purchase it. If you are a reader please repost this! #booksky #blackbooksky #diversebooks #blackhistorymonth

In these trying times we must continue to hold space for light and love. We must shine even more brightly now as the darkness reveals itself so willingly. Your light is infinite, your love is infinite. Your acts of random kindness are worth more than their weight in gold. 🙏🏻💚🌀

This is what we all should remember.

Read. Read books. Reading books is resistance. Buy. Buy books. Buying books is resistance. Share. Share books. Sharing books is resistance. Celebrate Celebrate books. Celebrating books is resistance.

Just for fun: know where I spotted this?
