Another reminder:
- meds
- hydrate
- eat something
- turn off autoplay of video/gifs if you haven't already
- you don't have to watch the videos
- stay safe, be smart
- sometimes it's good to not post (or read)
- shutting the fuck up is a valid strategy at times

Northtown Books in Arcata is an absolutely incredible bookstore. Several years ago I met the folks who are running it now and their passion for running a welcoming local space was so infectious.
This fire is utterly awful.
If you can afford to kick in a few bucks to their fundraiser, please help.

Just spoke with the owner, Dante, & learned there is a fundraising page. If you are not in a position to give, please consider sharing this widely. Let's blow through that preliminary # -- immediate access to cash gives options the fire would seem at first to destroy.

Since Barack Obama, Democratic presidential candidates and "dark money" groups have raised more money than Republicans--often doubling them.
So much of the Dem money is wasted. Publishing a piece on this Sunday explaining these graphs and much more. I need your help to make the piece viral. Thanks!

Hey @washingtonpost.com how about that black woman you just fired?
Column: The systematic effort to censor American media isn’t exactly subtle.
President Trump has not disguised his intentions or his reasons. He has gone through some trouble to emphasize that he wants to control who’s on television and what they say.
