Another good reason to buy from independent bookstores, NOT AMAZON!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

You know who wants to solve the money in politics problem and is doing great work to achieve that? @commoncause.org They could do with an assist from @patrioticmillionaires.org Call dynamite CEO Virginia Kase Solomon!

Sometimes, we get texts from our Founder/President Erica Payne telling us she told @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social about The MONEY Agenda and gave him a copy of our book "Pay The People."

You know, just normal Tuesday stuff.

It’s been a month since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social was elected by an overwhelming majority. Speaker Johnson still has yet to swear her in, leaving the people of #AZ07 without a voice in Congress. Enough is enough. Swear. Her. In.

Dolly Parton deserves our prayers. She has done so much good quietly with her success. May this wonderful talented woman be restored to good health soon.

What a lovely message from @bookshop.org. Glad to see them growing and growing. We CAN claim back what has been taken from us by these monstrous corporations, and it starts with things like this. Grab some books these next couple days!

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
