Sunday afternoon, I signed 2,300 copies of my book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable: A Manual For Keeping A Democracy. It’s due out October 21, but thanks to y’all, my local bookstore, Little Professor, received the largest number of preorders for a book ever
So, don’t tell my publisher, but I don’t hate signing books. It’s actually made me happy to think they would go to people who I get to interact with online, but not in person!
Congrats Professor & hope to see you LIVE on your Book Tour in SF on 10/21/25. :----)
Meanwhile, Governor Pritzker is not 'giving-up' having filed an Oregon-like TRO against Trump, Noem & others set for this Thursday in the Northern District of Illinois to block the deployment of "federalized" Guardsmen from any state to occupy any part of Chicago.
Pritzker has also ordered Children Health Services to evaluate any injuries to children during the Black Hawk & Zip Lock attacking in South Shore.
So excited for you! My pin arrived and I wore it proudly this past Saturday to a town hall with Cslifornia Representative Jarred Huffman in Crescent City.
I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO RECEIVING MY BOOK I ORDERED SO MANY MONTHS AGO. I HAVE MOVED INTO A SENIOR LIVING FACILITY AND CAN ONLY HOPE THAT USPS HONORS MY CHANGE OF ADDRESS NOTICE.
Congrats to you, Joyce, on the very successful book signing! Any plans to make a few stops in New York or Long Island? We would love to see you and thank you for all your hard work and vision.
You are one of my favorite commentators, or should I say my favorite? Keep up all your very important, good work!
JWV will be in NYC talking about her book w Preet Bharara on his podcast on 10/21. It was originally scheduled for 92nd St Y but just moved to the Redeemer Church at 150 E 91st St. T
Very much looking forward to it Joyce! So glad you’re coming to the Big Apple. Your voice (and Preet’s) is sorely needed - even in this deep blue city, far too many people seem to be living their lives like everything is normal!
Has anyone told you today that you are a DEAR?
Hang in there, Joyce! We are counting on YOU!
Thank you. It’s a tough week. We need to all take your advice and be there for each other!
A TRUE PATRIOT and BOSS!!!
I’m raising my “civil discourse and chickens” mug to you right now!!
Right back at you. Still my favorite mug!
Due to your popularity, you may need to get an auto pen 😁
So, don’t tell my publisher, but I don’t hate signing books. It’s actually made me happy to think they would go to people who I get to interact with online, but not in person!
I was thinking the same thing 😂
Congratulations! Now a bowl of Epsom salts for that wrist!
I'm so grateful for your work, Joyce!

My wrist aches thinking about it. Good on you!
Congratulations!! Eagerly awaiting the arrival of my copy, perfect reading material for these troubled times.
Ditto! I look forward to reading!
Joyce, you are someone to look up to and listen to. We appreciate you everyday. Thanks for all you do.
Thank *you* for all of your efforts!
So glad for you! I’m looking forward to receiving my copy whenever it comes to my local bookshop. Thank you for your work!
Congratulations! I have already received my pin for pre-ordering; can't wait to receive the book!
SEXXXXY PIN!!!!

I’m such a big fan of your Congressman!

Yes! They moved us to a bigger venue and I’m told there are still some tickets left.

Thanks for this info!
Good idea!
Looking forward to reading your book! Thank you for all you do!
