A small thing but thank you for linking to Abe Books instead of Amazon!

HAH! I love that you noticed. I have boycotted Amazon almost completely for almost 5 years, now--I only purchase there when there is literally no other option, which is rare. I forget to talk about it int he newsletter, but I can't say enough how much I despise Amazon. So yes, small booksellers all the way, and used even better. Abe is ideal!

AbeBooks has been a subsidiary of Amazon since 2008

WHAT really? OMG! I had no idea. Sigh. I actually generally use Bookshop.org, but my husband swears by Abe. I'll have to tell him.

hey Jessica, Michael Moore's latest newsletter entitled "A letter from Me to Your Defeated Self" is a great read. It's empathic and the second half is a good pep talk! He's a little tough on all of us. BUT... I thought you could vet it and pass along if you think it's good enough for your/our peeps.

Congratulations to the Glendale Environmental Coalition and the activist people speaking up in Northeast Los Angeles, changing the world one neighborhood at a time!

And thank you for illuminating the insidious member of the College Board, followed by a great action script.

I just read that edition right before reading this newsletter; perfect timing as I was wondering what I could do and then here it is! Thanks!
