the US revolution was not a revolt against colonization but instead the (seemingly) permanent cementing of the colonial project. It's not like India or Ireland breaking free from the UK, it's like if the British colonists in India broke free from the UK's control.

This is insane... If you ask them tough questions, if you hold them accountable, in a town hall, they will have private security assault you and remove you. We need to make sure midterm voter turnout is so deafeningly lopsided that the Nazi scum that is the Republican party never recovers.

Text-based social media? Interesting concept but I'm not sure people will like it. -the owner of a bookstore (2025)

We celebrate #IndependentBookStoreDay in this house, as it is the holiest of holidays and indie booksellers are the actual best. Displays like this one at Sower Books in Lincoln, NE are a reminder that Amazon could never.
