Staying the obvious here, but…👇

Is anyone really surprised?!

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.

There it is. Raskin always on point.

Congratulations ❤️

“Now there’s a new scary thing”

Every time I get on my phone to do literally anything

Congratulations, being an aunt is souch fun!

Thanks to @manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social for organizing #MSWL day! I’m open from 1-7 of every month and here is what I’ll be looking for in March:

I rep PB-YA and gravitate towards projects that have a clear, commercial hook and a captivating voice. 🧵

I'm actively searching for more author-illustrators of picture books and illustrated chapter books! #MSWL

It's okay to be angry. It's okay to be scared. It's okay to be sad. It's okay to be disillusioned. It's okay to feel anxious. It's okay to be numb. It's okay to be horrified. It's okay to be tired. It's okay to not be okay.

It is not okay to give up. Others are feeling the same way. Resist.

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Written right there in the Constitution.

The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.

Yay, some happy news ❤️

CNN reports that the January 6 criminals have been told they are invited to attend inaugural balls tonight. They are going to be released from the D.C. jail momentarily.

All are insurrectionists.

We are not a democracy anymore, folks. We do not have rule of law.

I'm with you!

Welcome to the plutokleptokakistocracy! Where the ultra wealthy steal from you and run the country in the most insanely inept way imaginable.

Stealing this line 😄

Sometimes I let my car have a few empty coffee cups just as a little treat

We are only two days in, and it already feels like a lifetime! All I can do is continue to spread as much love, acceptance, and compassion as possible.
