Took me a second to work out the logistics here, Fred does like to fold himself into boxes in odd ways. Obviously I went in for danger tickles.

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

Drug companies have hired over 500 lobbyists this year to gut the Inflation Reduction Act's drug price negotiation provisions.

They outnumber public interest advocates more than 20 to 1.

We must get money out of politics and end Big Pharma's deadly greed once and for all.

How upside down is our world? The White House occupant thinks elected public servants who say the military should not follow illegal orders are "punishable by death." We exactly need public servants to speak out against illegal orders and not be cowed by a man who despises our Constitution.

These veteran law makers had no choice but to talk to active service members because they are being ordered to blow up boats in international waters. 83 people have been killed, with no proof of a crime.
So keep talking to our service members and let them know their rights.

Man, I love it when the writing picks you up and carries you away. Everyone's in character, doing their own thing, and I'm just the one writing it all down as fast as I can.

That is the BEST way to write, IMO. This is going to be a great series, I can feel it!! #amwriting #booksky

Women have been highlighting equality and equity disparities in healthcare for some time.

Disturbing to see 3 stories in as many days about the continued decline and outright failure of our systems to care for Black women, particularly in maternal healthcare.

Kevin became quite solicitous of his injured uncle, bringing him feathers & colored stones as he heard Blue Deer had done. Once he brought a dead bird, courtesy of the great tawny cat that was Jesse’s special pet, and so learned the difference between acceptable & unacceptable gifts.

He hoped his daughter-in-law would have fresh coffee. She held a special place in his heart, her tiny body encasing a spirit so huge it defied description. Just to sit in an armchair & talk to Jesse before heading home to nap until suppertime—that was all he asked of life right now.
