Connect with me on #StoryGraph & let's share what we're reading! 💜 Full disclosure: since last Nov, all I read are queer Romances and #StarTrek novels. If the book doesn't have a guaranteed #HEA or rest on a united Earth socialist utopia, it's a non-starter. app.thestorygraph.com/profile/char...

1/ “We must, indeed, all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.” Benjamin Franklin. That is the whole assignment for Democrats right now. Division is a fatal trap. Unity is not “kumbaya.” Unity is the survival strategy for us. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Call your reps about this. Every time a book ban has been overturned or shut down, it's because the vast majority of people who believe in the freedom to read spoke up. Find your reps' info at reps.fyi.

Lot of negativity going around. Post anything #StarTrek that cheers you up 🖖

We have plenty of precedent for the government trying to shut down dissent. But in the end, the goons and guns did not prevail.

Consumer buying power goes back to the 1890s when women took it upon themselves to use their buying power. Learn the history here and how it effected change. Let’s use our buying power this TG weekend and not shop at Amazon, Target, and Home Depot, but instead support local business. #WeAintBuyingIt

🧵 That's my senior senator. 💙 Thanks, @wyden.senate.gov Your work is appreciated.

💯 🧵 It's short so plz read & boost. 💜

Release the files, piggy.

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

Okay, Trek nerds...post a picture from your first #StarTrek movie! 🖖🎬 Spent my babysitting money to see it a few times in the theater in 1979. 💛💙♥️🖖

My #Farpoint shawl is coming along! I've already leveled up since Sat & now I'm on the row with the pips, so it's time to learn bobbles! I'll be wearing this at #STLV next summer in my photo with Gates McFadden 😻😻😻 Loving this pattern & the yarns! #KnitSky #Knitting #StarTrek

Never forget you are awesome just the way you are and you have mad knitting skills #knitsky

Ditto.

🧵 rec! Kari says this much better than I have been (for decades 🙄🫩). Give it a read. 💙

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

This is exactly the energy we need! This gentleman needs a national platform to speak truth to power. 😉 Thank you for restoring some of my trust in humanity, Rep Neguse. 💙 ❌👑🐸🇺🇸

News media tell you SNAP benefits are being withheld due to of the govt shutdown—bc news media is in on Project 2025’s implementation. The smart folks who developed these life-saving progs planned for govt shutdowns. This is Republicans, capitalizing on a shutdown to ✔️off Project 2025 eliminations.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Vote every time. Only immature people sit out as a way to get noticed.

Heretic Coffee in Portland, Oregon has announced that starting Nov 1st they will provide breakfast to those in the community who will be facing hunger due to SNAP benefits not being sent out in November. "we know it’s not much, but we’ll do our best to keep you fed" - Heretic Coffee #Pinks

I’ve seen reporting that both sides are feeling the pain. I don’t know what happens if Democrats blink first. Seems like a really good time to call your Senators. Republicans favor the wealthy over the rest of us. We can eat cake and die. ☎️☎️☎️☎️☎️☎️☎️☎️☎️☎️☎️☎️ www.yahoo.com/news/article...

It's simple: vote for democracy or let the fash win. 🤷‍♀️

I'm not necessarily a fan of BU, but now I'm a *huge* fan of Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, a Democratic congressman from Mississippi! www.businessinsider.com/big-tech-cor...

Solidarity is the enemy of the oligarchy.

Just FYI: cash donations go exponentially farther but for those who prefer to donate goods, please remember that items like pet food, diapers, personal care items, etc., are also needed and highly valued. localfoodbank.org/what-do-food...

Anyone who needs extra help affording food can visit a food pantry or meal program. Some pantries or programs may have additional requirements, like living in a certain area. www.feedingamerica.org/take-action

Just watched #TheLifeofChuck & am still teary-eyed (basically non-stop since Act Two). I had no idea what to expect (#Spoilerphobe) & was hooked from the gate. As a long-time King fan, I braced myself for the ending to crash & burn, but it definitely did not. 10/10 Definitely recommend. #FilmSky

If you think the orange demon & republicans won’t let 50 million people go without food and tear the entire Whitehouse down so the Epstein files don’t come out, you have NOT been paying attention. With everything going on right now l have no idea how people on the left are still criticizing Dems🤷🏾‍♀️

Senator Merkley has held the Senate floor all night—and he’s still going. He’s holding the floor for our healthcare. Our economy. Our rights. Our democracy. Tune in here: www.youtube.com/live/bE37g0m...

Thank you @merkley.senate.gov 💙

This is bad. Very bad.

A federal judge has railed against her Trump-appointed colleagues after they allowed the president to send troops into Portland, declaring their ruling was beyond absurd.

I dropped off my ballot yesterday & it's already been accepted for the special election on 11/04! Get out & vote, everyone! #WashCoVotes #ThisIsWhatDemocracyLooksLike
