Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."

A Place For Everyone to Read: Opening a β€œCultural Treasure” in Philadelphia Harriett’s was my last resort. I opened Harriett’s Bookshop, named for historic heroine Harriett Tubman, six weeks before the pandemic, and could have never predicted that my tiny shop would surviv…

β€œFive years later, the bookshop has been featured by Oprah’s magazine twice for being one of 2,433 independent bookstores in the country that still exist.”

2,433 in the entire country? Unreal!

The more I read, the more I learn that wealth and power is just an accident of birth, and the vast majority of the extremely privileged are lazy idiots.

If you just take in a little bit of culture and pop culture that maybe you normally wouldn’t, you will learn about the world. If you maybe just ask questions about the things that you are reading and listening to, you’ll learn that the world is more complex and more fascinating than you ever thought

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

It was probably on sale. Back in the 80s, my grandmother would put money in a bank CD and get stuff like free VCRs because the banks were desperate for deposits. She gave it to me and my sister for Christmas so we could watch movies in our room. I filled tapes with MTV and Days of our Lives

Wow, Americans turned their clocks forward but we don't change ours in the UK until the end of the month! And they pronounce "tomato" as "elevator", and their word for "trousers" is "sidewalk"! So much for the special relationship! Also their government is a bunch of fascists.

I find it extremely difficult to believe that anyone experiencing what honestly looks like the apocalypse is going to regard it as a form of liberation or that anyone responsible for it actually cares about how Iranians regard it at all.
