Thanks, Barnes & Noble. You're one of my Top Indie Favorites, too! (That's my book--the blue tiger/orange background on the right.) #threewaystodisappear @AshlandPress #bookclubs barnesandnoble.com/w/three-ways-t…

I voted today. Walked into a room full of poll workers and voters & called out "Yay, voting!" & everybody smiled & laughed. Every time a new voter signed in, the election worker called out "first timer!" and the whole place clapped & cheered. Pure joy. #KamalaHarris2024
The @wapo cowardice continues. After Trump's Nazi really last night, this is their digital front page today. But hey, good luck with that @blueorigin contact, @JeffBezos !

I just canvassed ~50 homes in Rougemont, NC. My key takeaway: most people do *not* know about General Milley & Kelly’s warnings on Trump. Multiple undecideds I spoke with were surprised to hear — and listened. More canvassers needed. Change your plans. You won’t regret it.
Ugh, this quote by @emmatuckerWSJ, editor of @WSJ: "Look, we're not truth nannies." What an abrogation of duty. I'm just as disappointed in @steveinskeep of @MorningEdition for not calling her out. In #journalism "truth nanny" is literally the job. #FactsMatter
BREAKING NEWS: Jimmy Carter has achieved his goal of living long enough to vote for Kamala Harris. God Bless you, President Carter. 💙
Musk keeps deleting this video. I wonder why?
🚨 BREAKING 🚨: Two elementary schools in Springfield, OH, evacuated due to a threat, following a bomb scare yesterday affecting other city buildings, including City Hall. This kind of environment is exactly what we mean when we say that the “Trump ticket” is a threat to our…
Actual journalism! Bravo, @DavidMuir and @LinseyDavis !
Jake Tapper and Dana Bash can learn a lot from David Muir and Linsey Davis. Well done!
Faced with the massive and still spreading denial of a simple fact, plus the approaching election, the @AP, turns toward the one place where you can't do that. "Inside Washington’s federal courthouse, there’s no denying the reality of Jan. 6, 2021." apnews.com/projects/janua…
Amen.
I want to remind everyone that Trump wanted to have VP Pence, Speaker Pelosi and Liz Cheney murdered and he encouraged his followers to carry out that attack and would not stop it for hours. We must not allow him to hold any office ever again.
Former MAGA podcaster: “It’s never too late to change your mind… that’s why I’m all in for Kamala Harris”
My hubs just signed up. @MarkHamill , you're straight-up white dude bait! And I mean that in the best possible way.
I want to take a minute and address why tonight's White Dudes for Harris call is so important. Donald Trump and the MAGA world have, depressingly, done an incredible job of creating a permission structure that allows white men to easily embrace Project 2025 policies and the…
My 89 y/o mom wanted to donate to #Kamala2024 but hadn't gotten a solicitation letter. (Mom doesn't do the internet.) So I called Mom and suggested we do it together. Mom gave me her credit card number, I grabbed my laptop, and together we made her donation. #AnswerTheCall2024
"I'm prepared to beat him"
This, my friends, is what they call a mic drop. #PresidentHarris2024
Amazing readings at Voice and Vision @21cMuseumHotel tonight: play, nonfiction, kid lit, TV pilot, & poetry! I hosted and curated. My dress has POCKETS. Great crowd too! @samuelkrauss3 @ladd_sarah @lynnellEdwards @ladylovesherpen @janeebrittany @hunterkissel Amy Foos Kapoor

Last night at the Main Library with #rebeccamakkai . What a joy to sit down with her and talk about her latest novel. If you haven't yet read I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU, treat yourself--it's an excellent read.

Hey #Louisville, come hear this smart, funny woman talk with me at the Main Library tonight at 7 pm, courtesy of @LFPL and @carmichaelsbook. I promise she'll be brilliant and hilarious. No pressure, @rebeccamakkai.
Airlines, ugh. @Delta charged my 88-year-old mother thousands for an upgrade to Delta One (business class for international travel), which she needed for medical reasons. Then they ignored her for most of the 10-hour flight. They assure me it's not that they're ageist.
