Just a reminder that the "don't buy stuff" action for tomorrow Fri 2/28 refers to corporations. Feel free to celebrate the day by shopping at your local indie bookstore and/or other small local shops. They will appreciate your business! #Booksky #ShopLocal #IndieBookstores

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”?
But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"?
Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

Given that Bezos just did a full takeover of @washingtonpost.com and now it can only report that America and money are great--today is a great day to cancel if you have it, you check to make sure you aren't paying for a forgotten subscription.

Every House Republican just voted to defund Medicaid. Reminder: there are no moderate Republicans in Congress, and stop pretending there are.

@stealthygeek.bsky.social: “Democrats should be running daily press briefings from a shadow White House pool of the legitimate news agencies which have been locked out by the Trump coup. Their audiences will get real news, Dems will regain some messaging control.
Why is this not already happening?”

This might be a radical concept but I don’t think anyone should feel like they need to justify why they like or don’t like a piece of media, literature, etc.
Enjoy what you enjoy, ignore what you don’t. Be free.

DO NOT BOYCOTT YOUR LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS ON THIS DAY! THEY CAN'T AFFORD A FULL DAY OF NO SALES! January & February are hard enough as it is. No sales for one day often means not meeting rent or payroll.
Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.

I swear, I was going to try and resist. I told myself only bring home the things I ABSOLUTELY WANT TO READ... So once again the TBR has reached triple digits.
To quote the baddest nerd villains- Resistance is Futile.
Not to mention the world is on fire, so...

Another great day to:
Buy books
Call your reps
Support small businesses
And fight the patriarchy!
Even small acts of resistance are resistance! ❤️

One thing we've learned since 1/20 with painful clarity is that our institutions are far more fragile than we could have ever imagined.
