What’s the lesson for one’s kid: finish the thing you signed up for, OR, if you don’t care about it, neither do I?


When her grandmother’s farm is threatened with foreclosure by a corporate mega-bank, Arden Firth fights back with a plan to abolish corporations. To win, she must overcome her fear of public speaking and balance her growing feelings for Justin Kirish, a law student with a past.

Alright, let’s get some juicy engagement going. Writers! Tell me three things/ideas/topics you find yourself going back to in your work. For me, cults/conspiracies, father-daughter relationships, and assertive women. There’s something else too, but it slips my mind…

By the way, the same corporations telling us they have no choice but to raise prices spent $1.25 trillion on stock buybacks last year to enrich wealthy shareholders.

Jennifer Egan on reading as an act of resistance: “We all have so many choices, and we are in the grip of very smart entities that want to keep us from deep reading. It has become an act of resistance to read deeply. I really feel that—we are all a part of that underground.”

"[F]or the second time in less than a year, an activist Supreme Court has deployed the false label of ‘separation of powers’ to deny the other two branches the legal tools they require to safeguard the public," says Harvard Law Professor Richard Lazarus. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…


What if there were no corporations? Could a state abolish corporations, since they are formed under state law?

Thirteen years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Bernie Sanders is calling for a reduction in the workweek to 32 hours, at full-time pay. He’s absolutely right. Gains in productivity should serve the working class. jacobin.com/2023/04/32-hou…

How important is the right to freedom of arms, which is neither vital nor among the basic human rights, compared to the right to life, which is one of the basic human rights? The Red Line was when Congress lifted the national assault weapons ban. #FreshResists #DV1 #ProudBlue

Explaining to my 12yo that thinking of her being cold hurts me on an evolutionary level. She says, “like how you can’t bite your own finger off?” Yes, like that.

We’re walking out of school on Wednesday because we’re fed up with thoughts and prayers without action. Fed up with the gun industry innovating to make guns deadlier. And fed up with guns killing our generation. Organize a walkout at your school: etwn.us/3TY0uqU

How do you fight against a GOP that's gone full-Fascist? Republicans' policies, priorities, politicians (Hi, MTG), and tactics aren't just anti-democractic; they're bizarre. @jenmercieca says it's time to "weirdify" Fascism to save democracy. Let's go! bit.ly/40Idfch
