Writing isn’t a lonely occupation all the time! Last week I shared a glass or two of champagne with publishers from around the world who will be launching my next book “Circle of Days” in September.

Y’all need to watch Adolescence- I know it may be overhyped which was I thought about 5 hours ago right before immediately binging the whole thing.

POST AND COURIER: “An assault on principles doesn’t make America great. It diminishes it.” Thanks to South Carolina’s @postandcourier.bsky.social for covering the threats and harassment directed at our recent Summit. We aren’t going anywhere. www.postandcourier.com/politics-pre...

This feels like a sort of carnival-week funeral for the US republic. Beneath deep anger at Trump's orgy of vandalism and self-worship, I feel deep sadness. What a train wreck of a superpower.

Tesla dealership in Rocklin, CA. A red district. It’s happening, folks. ✌️💙

Today was a grim, terrible day for the United States and the cause of democracy. Putin, along with other dictators around the world, can finally look at Trump with confidence and think: one of us. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Marco Rubio in 2016: “For years to come there are going to be many people…that are going to have to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump.” Marco Rubio at the White House today:

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

80 years ago today: Marines raise the flag on Iwo Jima. We in the pro-democracy camp fight for the America that won World War II, and for the America that after the war worked to further advance the American idea. We know what side we would have been on 80 years ago, and what side we're on today.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

President Abraham Lincoln said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." When we rise above division, find common ground and use common sense, we can achieve great things.

3️⃣9️⃣ days. Not a single vote to lower costs. House GOP leadership is playing politics with people’s lives. It’s time to listen to the American people and vote on legislation that makes life more affordable.

JD Vance is saying the quiet part out loud: the Trump administration intends to break the law. America is a nation of laws. The courts make sure we follow the laws. The VP doesn’t control the courts, and the President cannot ignore the Constitution. No one is above the law.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

And Jesus said: “Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God". Matthew 19:24

The Commander in Chief is politicizing the deaths of not only 67 lives, but three Servicemembers. His hatred for those who serve knows no bounds. His disdain for women knows no limits. His empathy for those left behind is nonexistent. Absolutely DISGRACEFUL.

Happy Birthday in absents to one of the best, and most original, songwriters of all time. Rock on, Warren. #WarrenZevon

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform. Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ? Their greed is our opportunity.

Friendly reminder that if you buy a book on Kindle, you're only paying for the rights to read, not own. If a book truly gets banned, it will be taken away from digital platforms like Kindle, nook, etc. Consider getting physical copies of banned (or other) books! READ BANNED BOOKS #booksky

I hope #booksky will encourage people going to libraries and supporting local book shops. I didn't see a lot of that on #booktok and think we should cultivated that here.

Do your local library a kindness! Share this if you love and support libraries and librarians (don’t forget your school library & librarian, too!) 😊📚 Thank you to all the library workers who keep the magic alive—you’re true heroes! ✨💚

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care. But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix. The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.
