Plus, when you walk to return the books, at the library you can peruse other books, check one (or more) out and walk home! Which is what I did yesterday.

They (I) also want kids to not be killed while at school. Or killed at all actually, by bombs that my taxes pay for.

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

A couple things…

The β€œconflictβ€œ in Iran *IS* a war.
It is a war of choice.
It is warfare without conscious.
It was unprovoked.

And I’m sick and tired of people suggesting & implying the only tragedies herein are that US Service Members have died. The people of Iran are innocents in this conflict!

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

Well you voted no, thanks, I guess that’s all you can do, even though the war continues unabated.

Reminder that Donald Trump Jr. sits on Polymarket's advisory board and his firm invested double-digit millions into the platform last year.

The DOJ and CFTC both had active investigations into Polymarket that were dropped after Trump took office.

I didn’t think of a pedophiliac, dementia addled asshole when answering, but instead thought of watching cetaceans and picturing what it looks like when a whale takes a deep dive.

In other words, you’re glad we’re bombing school girls because Americans are struggling, but they should have asked you first.

Yeah that’s great, 60+ schoolgirls were just murdered in the name of my country, with no interference from the politicians who supposedly represent me. I’m outraged. Are you even paying attention?

Yeah and it might (already did) kill a bunch of elementary school girls. But hey don’t worry, they were someone else’s kids.

Shouldn’t they be gathering in Mar a Lago where the country is being run from? Seems like anything going on in D.C. is just symbolic? oh right .

When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.

Good morning, Congress.

What will it take?

Netanyahu is a fascist authoritarian. Just like Trump. Just like Putin. They are ALL propped up by the same elite Epstein class. War is profitable for the elite pedophiles. Not only because they are invested and profit from the industrial weapons complex. They want land, resources and cheap labor.

Yet you keep supporting him by voting to confirm his candidates. And now that your and trump’s friend Netanyahu has started an illegal war with Iran, where do you stand on that? Who do you represent?

Democracy is dying in America.

ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.

We need real leaders - not career politicians.

I would like it if they stopped diverting my taxes to Kristie and Kash’s travel expenses. Among other things.

#ProudBlue #Resist

You may not know Rick Steves’ politics yet, but watch this. He is spot on. He reads a list of the Nazi playbook & goes point by point against what Trump has done.
He said:
US needs solidarity
Political left needs the middle
Protest
We are patriots

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion
