At the National Writers' Conference in Birmingham recently, our chief executive Anna Ganley gave her top ten tips for writers. We thought they were too good not to share. Take a look, and read more in our news section. societyofauthors.org/2025/06/05/t...

There would be fireworks, music, singing, dancing, cries of joy….it would be epic!

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Do you know what else was illegal and had severe life altering consequences? Hiding jews in your attic. Hiding escaped slaves. Sitting in a white only area. Not turning in your neighbours for being unhappy with the regime. People still did it.

Mass protests erupted nationwide following resistance by Los Angeles against the Trump regime's ICE ethnic-cleansing campaign. Demonstrations have taken place in Chicago New York City, Dallas, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Portland, Boston and more. #3E #StopICE

THIS is what we need to hear more about.

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

Incredibly proud that @faithschaffer.bsky.social and I have been nominated for Worst Ronin! I love this weird book so much and it's had a tough go-- it was purchased by a pub that was then sold to another, editor was laid off, next one quit, it was just a lot of capitalism. Anyway. Thank you.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

Powerful! Germany has unveiled a military aid package for Ukraine worth 5 billion euros. The agreement includes direct German investments in Ukraine's defense industry and a broader treaty between Kyiv and German arms manufacturers.

My life’s wisdom. Inspired by & dedicated to the memory of my father, Cyril DeGrasse Tyson - Civil Rights era sociologist. It's what conflicts & disagreements among us look like when you’re scientifically literate — sprinkled with a dose of Cosmic Perspective. neildegrassetyson.com/books/2022-0...

If Russia doesn’t like their airports closed, if it doesn’t like drones flying over Moscow and explosions and all that, Russia can get the fkc out of Ukraine and stop bombing us. It’s that easy.

Federal judge dresses down Alina Habba: "Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas. Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth and to the upholding of due process for all."

Bless this man and his fellow Scotts! 🖤🖤🖤

Just because I haven’t seen anyone make the distinction yet, here: There is no “Trade War” only a “Trump Tantrum”.

Pleased to hear Sayaka Murata (and her translator Ginny Tapley Takemori!) in an @npr.org All Things Considered Story this afternoon—"10 Books We're Looking Forward to This Spring". A speaking moment for the popularity of Japanese fiction in English! @ginnytkmr.bsky.social

Tesla has been kicked out of the Vancouver auto show on the eve of the event. Elon Musk’s company will no longer be an exhibitor and all references to Tesla have been removed from the show’s website. #3E #EndOligarchy #TeslaTakedown www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Trump to withdraw the US from group Investigating Russia’s leadership for crimes committed against Ukrainians. Meanwhile Russia is now using drones to hunt children for sport. “We saw the drone and ran. My friend hid at home, another ran straight—then the drone dropped a bomb.” #EndImpunity

Tesla dead in Germany. #TeslaTakedown

Elon Musk claims "the leftists" are bad-mouthing his company. This isn't true. It's ordinary car buyers who are fed the fuck up.

While the US is experiencing massive nationwide weather catastrophes, Donald Trump is out golfing to a whopping tune of tens of millions of tax payer dollars. The US dies, Trump golfs. #3E #EndAutogenocide

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

I’d like to see more, thanks.

This is Ramsey and Rebel. Ramsey can be a little needy sometimes. But Rebel doesn't mind because Ramsey’s needs are very cozy. 13/10 for both

IT’S WORKING!!!! KEEP SHOWING UP, MAKING YOUR VOICES HEARD!!!

Ontario Premier Doug Ford canceled Elon Musk’s Starlink contract and banned all US companies from government contracts. “They only have President Trump to blame.”

Our IMPEACH TRUMP billboards have one small problem: Trump's LONG list of impeachable offenses won't fit on them. Our Impeach Trump newspaper ad campaign started today with a 1/2 page ad in the Santa Fe New Mexican, with more cities to come. Impeach. Take back Congress. Defend our nation!
