The first time I searched Trump, there were over 900 records found. I also confirmed there are now 332.

On this #Caturday, with Trump's deadly attacks on Nigeria, Alfie takes another look at A Particular Kind of Black Man, by Nigerian-American author @topefolarin.bsky.social (who hasn't yet posted here.) Details of the book in alt-text. Buy here: theliteratelizard.com/book/9781501... #BookSky

This struck me too. As Anne Applebaum doesn’t mention, she wrote a classic history of the Gulag.

Old Dersh is big mad about all these so-called "survivors" going around telling terrible stories that no one should believe. He seems to think they're the perpetrators rather than victims, and they only want one-sided transparency. Very unfair to people like him. www.rawstory.com/alan-dershow...

I'm glad the corrupt Justice department officials implementing this illegal cover-up of Trump's crimes are so inept. On the other hand, these are the people who are supposed to be protecting us from crime and terrorism. I look forward to the post-Trump return of honor and professionalism.

You cannot shut down the will of the people, Bari Weiss.

We're in the publishing doldrums now, but after the new year the hot new releases will start up again. Here are eight nonfiction titles to look forward to. Titles and authors in alt-text, links to preorder these books in our linked article on @dailykos.com: www.dailykos.com/stories/2025... #Booksky

As a historian I've looked at hundreds of thousands of pages of government documents. And I just have to say that aside from being obviously illegal and clearly suggestive of some major crime, this “redaction” business is not a position in which serious people or serious governments find themselves

I can hardly wait until Trump's name gets pried off the wall of the Kennedy Center.

It's too late to order books for holiday giving, but not too late to give a Literate Lizard email gift card! You pick the amount and create a personal message: theliteratelizard.com/egift-card/l... (Not too late to buy YOURSELF some 20% off holiday promo books: theliteratelizard.com/holiday-book...)

Sci-fi author Bruce Sterling shares his sci-fi take on this fascinating (and a little spooky) article about aeonophiles by @karenlloyd.bsky.social. She has a recent book on her discoveries: Intraterrestrials: Discovering the Strangest Life on Earth Order now: theliteratelizard.com/book/9780691...

One of the benefits of traveling the globe is developing understanding and empathy for others. Thanks to travel guidebook maestro @ricksteves.bsky.social for this wonderful gesture.

Hilarious! Just when we thought Trump could not sink any lower by naming the Kennedy Center after himself, we find a "new" center's website URL is owned by a comedian who grabbed it before they did! Merry Christmas, indeed ..😂

Happy #Caturday! Meet Samantha, the newest addition to our family. She's only just begun to explore the contents of our bookshelves.

I just stumbled upon the fact that @thedianerichards.bsky.social is on Bluesky, with almost no followers! She is an amazing writer (her Ella: A Novel was one of our featured books when it came out theliteratelizard.com/book/9780063...), and is director of the Harlem Writers Guild. Follow her!

The Literate Lizard is now offering a 20% discount on all of Barack Obama's 2025 book picks. You can find the list here: theliteratelizard.com/list/20-bara...

Kerry Kennedy — Robert and Ethel Kennedy’s daughter and RFK Jr.’s sister — says she’s going to grab a pickax as soon as Trump’s term is over and take his name off the Kennedy Center.

Barack Obama posted his annual book list on Instagram today: "As 2025 comes to a close, I’m continuing a tradition that I started during my time in the White House: sharing my annual lists of favorite books, movies, and music. See the lists here: www.instagram.com/p/DSaxSRjjxd... Come buy from us!

Remember how I said I have it written into my foreign-language contracts that my work has to be translated by an actual human? This shit is why. Those book translations are gonna suck. They'll save money putting out books that are going to be painful to read. That's not a great long-term strategy.

Congratulations to all of the 2026 PEN America Literary Awards nominees! With a list that includes biography, poetry, translation, science writing, and more, this year’s longlist has something for every reader. Join us in celebrating this year’s nominees, see here: pen.org/announcing-t...

Rob Reiner was involved with @glaad.bsky.social as well and helped further progress on LGBTQ representation in media. He said of his work on behalf of LGBTQ rights: “Each one of these steps makes us more one country, and reminds us we are all part of the family of man.”

Rob Reiner was one of the few celebs whose involvement in politics and activism felt genuine and was rooted in good faith

Rob Reiner was the consummate storyteller. Over and over, he revealed us to ourselves: what it is to be young and have friends, to fall in love, to feel misery and vengeance, to feel alive. And the laughs. So many laughs. The loss of Rob Reiner is... inconceivable.

Final days for shipping to arrive before Christmas. Get your orders in today! We have hundreds of 20% off books to choose from: theliteratelizard.com

Words can’t express my rage. At least 2 students on lockdown at Brown University already survived mass shootings. Zoe Weissman survived Parkland in 2018. Mia Tretta was shot in the stomach in Santa Clarita in 2019 and watched her best friend be murdered. And now…again.

So happy to be a part of Head Start’s “Real Men Read” project. It’s so important for kids to see men in their lives take a real interest in their education and well-being. I talk a lot about fathers showing up for their families— this is a great place to start. #NewSC

This lying and cheating by Trump may seem like small things in relation to the wreckage he is creating across the country and the world, but they do demonstrate his total inability to tell the truth. Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump, by Rick Reilly: theliteratelizard.com/book/9780316...

Another inspiring example of the people standing up to ICE.

Very informative. Read the entire thread to see the breadth of the corruption and the danger to our financial system.

'A sad, cruel moment' delivered by a sad, cruel Trump administration.
