If you can, please order books from bookshop.org rather than B&N or Amazon. It supports independent bookstores--which, in turn, supports more authors and creates more community. You can choose your local bookseller on their website.

Boycott Amazon. I bought a book from Target written by former Capitol police officer Harry Dunn (Standing My Ground, about Jan. 6) because I refused to support Amazon. Stop welfare for the uberwealthy.

Boycott Target too. They capitulated to the nonsense over DEI.

I agree, although that will affect black,businesses that sell -there hair products, Roland Martin explains this on his you tube channel

Yes! Boycott Amazon, Meta, and other ring-kissers. Tragically, Target folded to pressure to end its DEI practices. If you can't totally divest, email these companies to let them know you object and are actively seeking alternative sellers.

I'm so sorry that you and your neighbor no longer speak. I, too, have friends and family that I don't see or talk to due to shitler. But to say that to your face just slays me. I cannot imagine the hurt that y'all felt to know that you were never friends. She/they put on a false front for all that time until she said that. Or, did it possibly happen that suddenly? I doubt that. I'm sorry for your pain and heartbreak but happy that two-faced bitch is out of your life.

That ad was the best. I shared it I don't know how many times because I really wanted to meet in the middle with some folks but it still hasn't happened. My little sis is my polar opposite but when it comes to politics, we do not discuss it...unless I can't help throwing out asides at times. My cousins and I talked without politics at my aunt's funeral when we went for mexican food and ritas after. My fave cousin and I have talked since about all else, they are still die-hard stupid people who will never count to 45 but there's no hope of getting through to them. But that ad says sooo much and I have always loved it. Thanks for sharing it again.

Take care Nancy and get healthy again. We love you and need your wisdom so much. Thanks for creating this group so we have space to talk about deep stuff. It's saved my sanity and I suspect others' as well.
