Americans have been clapping back for some time now. Did you see the Hands Off rallies? What about No Kings?
You probably missed it because the New York Times didn't cover it. But trust me, there is and will continue to be huge push back!

Along with my Indivisible group, I wrote postcards to support the 3 Democratic PA Supreme Court justices.

But the cover art on these books kinda mirrors the stories: whimsical and funny but also a little dark.
Definitely a YA-ish cover design.
Also, a fun and satisfying read - at least "The House in the Cerulean Sea" was.

Hello from American. I can tell you that the UK will not reap any benefits from the Trump trip. He's a con man and completely empty.
Many of his supporters have learned this the hard way.
My best advice to the UK is to rejoin the EU.

In Chicago, book lovers do a indie bookstore crawl on Independent Bookstore day.
We go to 15 bookstores and collect "stamps" on our postcards, which give us 10% off books for the next year at our favorite indie store. It's a really fun day!

Good grief, @theatlantic.com could you give it a rest.
I am waiting for the article that says, "Republicans Must Confront Their Autocracy Problem."
Or how about, "When Will Republicans in Congress Grow a Spine?"

The Atlantic needs to figure out why it keeps blaming the party that is trying to save democracy when it could - very legitimately - question the "activities" of the party trying to lead the US into autocratic rule.
