Never give in! Bravo @apnews.com This former AP staffer approves đź‘Ź apnews.com/article/ap-l...

Something's going on, even in dead red provinces such as eastern Oregon...

IL Gov. Pritzker is one of the great leaders of our time. You can watch his full IL budget address here. If you forward to the 26 minute mark, you can watch as he shifts to a dire warning about the direction our country is taking, but also words of hope. We should all take heed.

Good overview of where Portland’s been and is going. It’s about quality of life for all. #pdx

This former AP staffer approves. Never give in!

Joking aside, I would almost move to California for this. Or maybe Oregon could become a colony or protectorate?

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

This makes 1938 appeasement look quaint. Where are all those Republicans against any sort of appeasement now? They are certainly not patriots. They’re too busy sucking on the teat of Dear Leader.

I will stop on a dime for anything about… The Third Man Paths of Glory Sweet Smell of Success #movies #film

Turns out I can’t rant about oligarchical kleptocracy all day, so I’m sharing a personal story. It might ring true for my fellow Portlanders of a certain era, especially you NASL Timbers fans (IYKYK).

Love the new shirt, especially with a local sponsor. Happy with the Evander move, ready for a new look. Let's do this thing. #rctid

Well this is disturbingly accurate #cartoon

Posted around NYC, Chicago, DC and other cities. Be creative. Do something!

I feel like Trump is max 6 weeks away from saying we're gonna water the crops with Gatorade because it's got electrolytes and that's what plants crave.

It’s great to see that @bookshop-org.bsky.social offers ebooks. And now they’re offering the same price deals as at other retailers. The Losing Role is only $2.99 on Bookshop for a limited time. Avoid Amazon — and support your local bookstore: bookshop.org/p/books/the-... #BookSky

You tell em, Woody!

I’ve got the morning shift. This guy is dangerous and unfit to serve and I’m about to explain why. Tune in: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

Now the whole country gets the experience of what it's like when private equity buys the place you work

Perfectly captured.

This is the way. 160k peaceful protesters out on the streets of Berlin alone today to resist making deals with fascists. Germans know better.

Nearly 250,000 people in Berlin showed up to protest fascism and the Musk backed AfD party.

Read, share, act.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

Authors, if you see this, it's a sign to post the first line of your book: "I have the bastard, finally, I got him." Show Game (2024) — a mysterious vigilante abducts powerful abusers and exposes them in this psychological thriller. #BookSky

AI-generated books are flooding marketplaces and increasingly look and read like human-authored books. Human Authored is a first-of-its-kind official certification system. Note: Certification is only available for members but will expand in the future. Learn more: authorsguild.org/news/ag-laun...

This is how you do it. đź‘Ź

Just add IDIOCRACY and it’s hitting the mark.

Bravo and chef’s kiss

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

As an author on both sides of this, I applaud this move to no end! Time to let the blurbs go. #booksky #books #writing #publishing

Readers, here’s your way to avoid Amazon. @bookshop-org.bsky.social now lets you buy ebooks online AND support local bookstores. They only offered print books before, so it’s a huge opportunity for publishers, authors, and bookstores. Great news! My books: bookshop.org/shop/steveaw... #BookSky

Good news here.

Feel deep in my bones that the backlash to all of this is going to be enormous. Not sure how it will manifest and when it will explode into view, but confident it’s coming.

This is how you do it

It’s so much easier to destroy than to actually govern. The Narcissistic Grievance Monger and his sick enablers want all the power and money but none of the responsibility or consequences. A long con like that will never succeed. It’s been quite a week. Take care of one another.
