Folks need to separate the idea of voter ID from the actual specifics of the save America act, because the act is about implementing the idea. And as we know, the devil is in the details. This series of short videos might help point out some of those details.
In 2020, Pete started Win the Era to support candidates on local, state , and fed ballots. He continues to do this good work and candidates he supported have gone on to do great things (see below) but he needs our help to keep going. Please consider supporting one of the best public servants we have

Did you know @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social has run this ICE spot three times in their morning block? On the show you are currently on?
Please encourage your fellow journalists to refuse to appear unless they take down the ICE spots.
ICE OFF MS NOW!
I am calling for all journalists and pundits who have hits scheduled on @msnownews.bsky.social @msnowreports.bsky.social
to demand that MSNOW stop running ICE spots on their shows or you won’t appear.
You can’t come on and speak truth and then be undercut by their corporate greed.
Unacceptable!
We are not powerless…
Pete Buttigieg reminds us:
“The ground is shifting because all of us have been doing the work to shift it…”
Garp holds up. Seminal novel for me. I recently reread it and was not disappointed. Curious to hear what you think.
This really makes the point…
Question: Which politicians inspire you?
For me, it’s Pete Buttigieg. His intelligence and ability to connect with voters is extraordinary. Not to mention his executive skills and the respect he’s earned from our allies.
We’re not inspired by much these days, but “that guy makes me feel better.”
Let’s start talking about how we recover from all this. Pete has always supported expanding the court, and here, lays out a plan to get money out of politics.
He makes me feel sane.

I sure hope he’s back in the game now. He’s my Congressman and this is the old Ted Lieu who we need more of

No one explains or soothes better than Pete. No one.
Here’s a message I had to split for time.

#2: Greenland

There's a lot going around about how editors don't want books by/for marginalized communities anymore because of fear of the current administration. It sucks. It's happening. But here's what you can do about it.

Chipotle has had to publicly state that Bill Ackerman no longer has any ownership in the company. The slimeball donated $10,000 to a support fund for the Nazi that killed Renee Good. However, he's still a major owner of RBI, which owns Burger King, Tim Hortons, Popeyes, and Firehouse Subs. 1/2

My short story is live… and early reviews are in:
"Heart-warming, funny as heck, and endearing... reads like American literature of a bygone era." -Jennifer G
"I'm smitten with the craftsmanship..." -James T.
"It reminded me of Demon Copperhead." -Chance B.

On December 4, 2007, in the Usenet group “Friends of the Friendless,” someone wrote:
“Happy Friendsgiving Y’all!”
And that is the first recorded use of ‘Friendsgiving’ in print.
This is what Maddow was talking about last night.
Folks in L.A. go and buy a 17 cent “ICE Scraper” and then stand in line to return it. They are intentionally jamming up registers, creating havoc, and sending a very cool message…

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 wow, I can’t remember the last time this happened!
As an author, I don't make a whole lot of money, but at the same time I need to read a lot of books to stay aware of trends and support my fellow authors. Obviously if I spend all my profits on other people's books, I'm not coming out ahead!
So: ways to read lots of indie books for cheap.
Everyone’s a critic…

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:
'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."
