DGRachel These are not protestors. They are rioters and seditionists. This has gone past protests and well into treason. It‘s an armed coup. Every single person who voted for Trump should be ashamed of themselves. 3y

AlaMich I am shocked and speechless. Trump opened Pandora‘s box and I hope he and all his supporters are afraid of what they have unleashed. (edited) 3y

bio_chem06 Mitt Romney: The president caused this 🙌🙌 3y

Soubhiville I want to say unbelievable but frankly I‘m not surprised. These people are out of control and out of bounds. I don‘t understand why the military hasn‘t been sent in to drag them all out and to jail yet. 3y

CBee It‘s horrifying. I don‘t even know what to say. 3y

BarbaraBB I can‘t believe my eyes. WTF? 3y

Palimpsest This is horrible. 3y

alisiakae I have had A LOT of choice words this afternoon. 🤬🤬 3y

riversong153 Thank you so much for posting this. I have been staying away from news more and more lately so was not aware and it is very important to be aware of this. 3y

Susanita Thanks a pant load, turtle man. 3y

CoffeeK8 Thanks for posting this, it‘s just horrible 3y

CBee @Susanita turtle man 😂😂😂😂 Tho I do think that‘s an insult to the turtle 🧐😂 3y

BookishMarginalia This is insane. Then throw in the pandemic and I just can‘t deal right now. What‘s happening? Watching Biden helped. @Book_Fiend_Melissa @AmyG @JenReadsAlot @LibrarianRyan @laurenashley @megabooks @DGRachel @AlaMich @bio_chem06 @Soubhiville @CBee @BarbaraBB @Palimpsest @4thhouseontheleft @riversong153 @LaraReads @Susanita @CoffeeK8 Big hugs all around. We need to be strong. #HoldTheLine 3y

CBee @BookishMarginalia this might make you feel better - at least a little - Twitter has locked his (I can‘t even say his name right now) account for 12 hours and they will permanently suspend his account if he doesn‘t stop the baseless tweeting 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 3y

BookishMarginalia @CBee Yes, it does! 3y

CBee @BookishMarginalia good! And here‘s a big hug 🤗 too ♥️ 3y

The Establishment: And how they get away with it | Owen Jones

This is my first pick for a book I'd like to read for a #brexitbooklist . Owen writes for the guardian and I loved he's other book chavs. I think this title says it all really. Also I'm really feeling sick about the May- trump meeting and the implications of any negotiations for a trade deal some of the possibilities have been a bit worrying to read about for the uk #holdtheline

BookishFeminist, Foxyfictionista, Moray_Reads

Moray_Reads Nothing says "I'm a strong leader" like holding hands with a fascist. Nothing says "I'm a strong female leader" like holding hands with a man who assaults women. Sickening ?? 7y

Foxyfictionista This looks interesting. I haven't read Chavs yet but that looks interesting too. And yes, the May/Trump thing is pretty disgusting. 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa This one has been on my to read list for awhile, I really need to read it asap. 7y

whatthelog Are you going to do suggested books for #brexitbooklist? I would love to read more :-) 7y

Weaponxgirl @whatthelog yes hopefully 😀 I did a post a few days ago asking if anyone would be interested and saying the sort of books that I'd be interested in reading for such a list. I'm hoping to include fiction and non fiction and if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them! 😀 7y

Weaponxgirl @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Foxyfictionista I haven't read this one yet but I've liked he's articles on the guardian a lot and I need to get to this along with other books this year! 7y

Weaponxgirl @Moray_Reads yup, you hit the nail on the head. Also like how her cozying up might make it harder for us to get a good trade deal within the Eu. You go may your really talking for ALL the people in the uk! 😒 7y

Weaponxgirl Just saw this hashtag #readoutsidethelines and I think this book totally counts 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Weaponxgirl I'll make it a must read this year too... then we can talk to each other about it. 7y

Poignant, warm, sweet, and yes, funny. What a delightful read. A view from an immigrant's seat that helps me see my country differently. #diversebooks #readwomen #holdtheline

The Fire Next Time | James Baldwin

Part 3 of #bookbinge. These are the only parts of my race/#holdtheline binge that have arrived so far, but I'm really looking forward to them both. (Also, I didn't know that the Coates was so small, both in size and length! That was a surprise!)

Matilda Between the World is small but packs the biggest punch. 7y

LauraBrook @Matilda That's what I've heard! Need to make sure I'm awake when I start that one, have been falling asleep when reading lately. 😕 7y

[DELETED] 3216391035 I really want to read both of these... 7y

LauraBrook @Basia Would you like to borrow one and then the other? After all, I can't read them both at the same time. 7y

[DELETED] 3216391035 Oh, that would be awesome! 😊 It would be great to meet up! 7y

LauraBrook @Basia Yay! That would be awesome! What a better way to get in touch for you - email? Text? Phone? 7y

rachellayown Great books! 7y

Salsa Nocturna Stories | Daniel Jos� Older

I'm pissed at Amazon (and iBooks may be no better, but I had credit there so...) but Daniel Jose Older, being rad, has made his collection of stories $.99. Super grateful. I need to escape a bit to recharge my batteries for a long sustained fight for justice. #holdtheline #wearthepin

When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times | Pema Ch�dr�n

I'm finally less angry and sad after the terrible events of yesterday. Still scared and worried (and okay, angry and sad are still there too), but I'm working on turning it around in my head. I've done a decent bit of book shopping (more to come today), and sleep isn't a friend of mine lately, but this has lit a fire in me. It's a fire that was always there but I was too afraid to say anything for fear of offending anyone. Not anymore. 👇🏽

LauraBrook One of my book orders yesterday included several books that I've wanted to read but felt too emotionally raw to handle. They were for "later", when I could better process the emotional hurts that have happened the last few years. But now? Not so much. I'm looking forward to educating myself over and over and over again about all of the things I thought I couldn't handle. Because I, and we, have to handle this terrifying result. ?? 7y

[DELETED] 3216391035 #imwithyou. Going book shopping myself tomorrow. And am just trying to be the most positive, caring, open person I can be to combat all the fear that was peddled in this election cycle. 7y

LauraBrook And as much as it sounds nice to stay curled into my comfort zone forever, I am ready & willing to fight against intolerance and hate, and to help educate others, not only on facts, but on how to have an intelligent discussion with someone of a differing opinion without resorting to threats, dismissal, or violence. Love is love is love & I'm trying my hardest to ❤️everyone now. It will get easier, it always does. But now a 🔥 is lit, & I'm ready. 7y

BookishFeminist I'm right there with you. Going off 2 hours of sleep for the second night in a row. Yesterday I mourned but today I am raising hell. Some folks in my life are not going to be very happy with me and I don't care. 🔥🔥🔥 Litsy's all good though. So grateful for this community. Keep taking care of yourself & reaching out for strength as much as you need it. We're #strongertogether and have each others' backs. Hugs and love. 💖😘 7y

OffTheBeatenShelf.com We'll fight this. And when we do, we'll do it with love and hope, not hate and fear. ❤️ 7y

CoffeeAndABook YESSSS!!! ✌🏻Stand strong 🌱 keep that fire burning 🔥 I'm sending courage & strength & faith from Germany ❣I feel far away right now, am half-American & wish I could do more (than vote from afar) but realize we have our own haters & bullies to fight here. Let's do this together, all over the world! 7y

OffTheBeatenShelf.com @BookishFeminist Raise that hell! I'm right there with you. I'm a writer, so I'm working on adding a political tab to my book blog, which may seem odd, but no one is safe from the Trumpanzees and we can't afford not to speak out. Let all the hell be raised! We're going to fight this. 💜💜💜 7y

BookishFeminist I've got a political tab on mine. It isn't odd at all. The personal is political. Raise. That. Hell. The more we brush it aside the more this utter disgrace to humanity is normalized, and I refuse to let that happen. We got each other and we got this. @OffTheBeatenShelf.com 7y

LauraBeth Never be afraid to stand up and voice your beliefs ❤️😀 7y

LauraBrook @BookishFeminist @OffTheBeatenShelf.com @CoffeeAndABook Hell yes, ladies! #strongertogether #imwithyou #holdtheline #effthisess Logic, love, and compassion!!! ❤️ 7y

LauraBrook @LauraBeth ❤️Thank you, Litsy sister. You're one of the people that convinced me that it was okay to do so. 😘 7y

LauraBeth 😘 7y

Susannah I'd love to know the books you bought if you feel comfortable sharing. 7y

LauraBrook @Susannah Absolutely! It's...a lot of books, mostly comfort reading. But I'll pull my #overthis books together and get those in one photo. Today most of my online orders came in, plus some used stuff I bought last week, and the 4 bags I've brought home from Half Price in the last 2 days... yikes. I owe my mail lady some chocolate or Icy Hot or something. 😳😉 7y

Susannah A photo (or two, if necessary) would be great! Thank you. 📚😄 7y
