It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

Live violent scenes? The guy is shouting at masked men who are randomly tear-gassing the residents. Call it what it is. Thuggery by Federal Thugs

You have no idea how happy that makes me. I ran a borders store and customers used to brag about looking for a book/perusing at my store then buying it from Amazon. So nice to hear Bezos is getting the same treatment now!

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

I live in the UK and have bought books direct from Greg at Dreamhaven myself. Absolute hero like all standing up to the atrocity that is ICE. Solidarity with you all from the other side of the Atlantic.

The website is inaccessible. What happened? "Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource.Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe"

Sadly his website is down. Maybe he had to shut it down for his own safety? I look forward to purchasing books through him when the site is back up.

They can’t support everyone. Just noting it as your larger Amazon/corporate alternative. Great “methadone” for Amazon addiction (one I myself find difficult to break).

Admiral Yamamoto after bombing Pearl Harbor: "I fear we have awoken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve." This is what's happening in Minneapolis.

This is Greg,the 70 year old owner or Dream Haven Books and Comics. He gave a weary, expletive-laden interview yesterday and when he said what he came to say, he turned and walked off into a billowing cloud of tear gas. No mask, no goggles, just attitude and Minnesota grit. Be like fucking Greg.

Hi guys, this has nothing to do with the man above, but I thought it might be a decent place to post this.

If you want to support the people of #Minneapolis consider buying music from artists on #bandcamp. The next bandcamp Friday is February 6, on bandcamp Fridays the streaming service will not take their cut, so the artists get 100% of the monies! #iceoutforgood

Glad you posted. I bought one thing from Bezos, a book by a friend, 9 years ago. Nothing since. Not because I'm so great, because it was right and it was simple. There are literally dozens of options, if not hundreds, and we are shameful to have not boycotted him.

I always try to buy from independent bookstores. They have knowledgeable staff, and all have to compete with the A of this world. Use them or lose them, such a great asset to our community. Thanks Indies, you are so loved and appreciated.📚📙📗📘📚💙💙💙
