If you're ever in Minneapolis make sure to visit her bookshop, Birchbark Books & Native Arts. Love her work so much....

Who could have predicted the rise of wunderkind Aaron Parnas (yes, Lev's kid) as one of the most prominent voices in independent journalism? No shade meant. This is just such a weird timeline.

Yeah, right. And then with mail-in voting eliminated he'll use his goon squads on election day to "protect election security."

Anyone heard anything about Maduro lately? Remember when that happened...three weeks ago?

'What is the endgame?': Gov. Stitt raises concerns over federal tactics in Minneapolis Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt weighed in on the growing tensions in Minneapolis after a man was fatally shot by federal immigration officials Saturday, drawing protests to the streets.

Well this is a surprise from Oklahoma's MAGA governor. More of this from red states please. www.koco.com/article/okla...

Sure would be great to have an Attorney General who's beholden to the law and the American people rather than the president. Same goes for the Supreme Court. And while we're at it, the House and Senate.

Thank you for your service. Waiting to see what you'll make of Oklahoma's scissortail fly catcher. Coz that tail....

300,000km and counting on my 2013 Mazda 3. Lots of hail damage to the body (I live in tornado alley), but still drives like a dream. Regular maintenance is key.

The only good thing: there were witnesses--bless every one of them--and no one was murdered. (If you read the thread, you'll learn the man was returned to his home.) But what are the costs of having survived a goon squad kidnapping? This has to stop. We have to keep showing up until it does.

The people of Iran are bravely taking to the streets to protest their nation's repressive theocratic dictatorship. The people of America and the world stand with them as security forces thereβ€”and everywhereβ€”try to brutally silence dissent.

YA Has Entered Its Awkward Adolescence and It's Teens Who Are Losing Out What is going on with young adult literature right now? Characters are older, stories are steamier, and there are fewer books reaching actual teens.

This confirms what I've been seeing as a bookseller. Very little activity in the once-vibrant YA section. bookriot.com/whats-happen...
