THIS is why you should buy books from indie bookstores like us and NOT from Amazon.
Trump-loving Jeff Bezos laid off AMZ workers and now has destroyed The Washington Post (and killed its Book section!) The Melania doc he spent $75M on is a bribe to Trump. ICE uses AMZ cloud services to hunt victims.

Students from (I assume) the nearby high school staged a noon walkout and anti-ICE protest at a busy intersection in Tempe, Arizona today. Thank you!

We're all dealing with our own perilous times of violent white supremacy, but it's still useful to look back at earlier episodes, like the 1984 NYC subway shooting of four black teens. Two new books examine those times, and we currently offer both for 20% off.

Sports gambling has a colorful past and a predatory present. Fun when played properly, but the reality also involves big money, corruption, addiction, and driving people to bankruptcy. Two new books by @dannyfunt.bsky.social and Art Manteris tell the tales. More info in alt-text and comment 🧵

Mad King Trump wants to take over Canada, Greenland, and any other country that catches his eye, but he is also surrendering us to his puppetmaster Putin. Better start brushing up on the history of our new masters. These 3 new books offer unique takes on Russian history. More in alt-text, comment 🧵
