Leonard Peltier’s release after almost 50 years in federal prison marks the culmination of a decadeslong campaign led by Indigenous activists. Tamar Sarai spoke with Nick Tilsen of @ndncollective.bsky.social celebrating the reality that “his liberation is our liberation.”

2+2=5 is how Donald Trump and Elon Musk - and the neo-liberal Democrats keep the US in an Orwellian sleeper hold.

How much of all this is just noise. Hmmmmnnnnhmmm

Fertig at the K Rodgers day job, so my Creative life begins now. However, work, albeit corporately silly, inspires me and inspires me to write about it. #booksky #patreaon #Diy #indiwriter #writing #Kroger #worker www.patreon.com/collection/9...

#dayjob When I first met the legendary Anne Feeney, she told me to keep my day job. She, a folk singer, may have known that to be an actual singer of folk music, one must remain at the folk level. #folksinger

I'm up early to work at the Kroger Deli. In my spare time, I gather inspiration from metaphorical paranormal paradoxes. I feel like a ghost reclaiming the moments stolen from me, bringing them back as smiles and happiness.

This is what it looks like to be a self-published writer: books in a box. If you are a fan of Kurt Vonnegut, Hunter Thompson mixed with a little Bill Bryson - I may be worth a gamble. linktr.ee/johnpaulwright #booksky #writer #writing

Living a daily grind of work vs off time. Going to get some time to dedicate to writing. A little jaunt out to Breckenridge County, KY to a family hermitage of days gone by. www.patreon.com/posts/107445...

That time i found that Harland Hubbards friend Paul had put my books on the shelf at Payne Hollow. That visit will remain one of my most fondest of memory. I got to see the place in real life before it became what Harlan hoped in never would become. #booksky youtube.com/watch?v=89L-...

Bongo John. I wish to the world that I could sing. youtube.com/watch?v=mVKK...

According to CPS officials, federal agents were turned away from Hamline Elementary yesterday. The courage of Hamline staff—security, counselors, educators,& administrators—kept students safe! This is union power in action. We’ll keep fighting for sanctuary for our schools. https://buff.ly/4gfcSMG

My favorite part of Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions is when he writes himself into the story. Chapter 16 is a masterpiece. #booksky #vonnegut

The book that taught me how to write that book. www.blurb.com/b/11758028-b... #booksky
