This is positively dystopia. Not content with #ICE killing American citizens in the streets, abd bringing back measles, this administration is now trying to rob PLWH of life saving medication that protects us all.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

What happens when love doesn’t fit the labels the world gives you? Right now, America is having big conversations about identity, belonging, and what it really means to live honestly—at work, in love, in life. Discover HE here: linktr.ee/authorlarryb... #HEthenovel #LoveWithoutPermission #Blacksky

The only thing I've learned from the last decade of Trump is that there are A LOT more really stupid people in the United States than I ever realized. Holy shit.

What the HELL is Lola Young wearing to accept her award at the #grammys? She looks like she just rolled out of bed.

Bruno Mars needs to lose that ridiculous headband thing he's wearing at the #grammys

Why is Justin Bieber performing at the #grammys in boxers and socks?

Olivia Dean won more than a #Grammy tonight. She won my respect (elegantly dressed) and my love ("I am the granddaughter of immigrants:). She relied on her talent to perform rather than striping down to her skivvies.

Pretty tough to blame Dems for a shutdown when Lindsey Graham is shutting the government down so he can get money from the taxpayers for himself. The Lindsey Shutdown

Public pressure can and does work. We have voices and collective power. We must use it.

The government’s arrests of journalists @donlemonofficial.bsky.social and @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social are attacks on freedom of the press. Two federal courts flatly rejected prosecuting Lemon, but instead of accepting that humiliating defeat, the government has now doubled down. Read our statement:

Statement from CNN on the Don Lemon arrest:

Cold fronts, snowstorms, and gray skies across the U.S. right now—perfect weather for staying in, slowing down, and getting lost in a story that actually feels something. ❄️📖 Find HE and Larry Benjamin’s other novels here: 🔗 linktr.ee/authorlarryb... #LoveWithoutPermission #blacksky #HEthenovel

The world feels loud right now. Headlines move fast. Opinions are sharper. Everything seems to demand a side. That’s exactly why HE by Larry Benjamin feels so timely. In a time when everyone seems busy defining, debating, and dividing, HE asks a simpler question: "What happens when love just… is?"

Trump thought Venezuela’s oil was a quick smash-and-grab. Turns out it’s a rusted refinery, guarded by militias, sitting on a political fault line, with a price tag the size of a small war. Oil companies took one look and said, “Call us in 30 years.” I guess it was harder than he thought

A woman was murdered by ICE agents; three children were orphaned; a wife widowed. And Fox "News" only seen a problem with her identifying her pronouns?

I received these as Christmas presents from my sister-in-law (and by extension, my brother). And honestly, I'm baffled. I've had 5 novels, a novella & a collection of short stories published. My books have won awards, including a #lammy Is it obnoxious of me to be a bit ticked off? #Amwriting

I returned to my #WIP today after 4 weeks. The break was partly due to the holidays (we host both Thanksgiving and Christmas) and because I'm on deadline for another writing project. To my delight, stepping away gave some clarity and provided solutions to some challenges with the story. #amwriting

I love this song, "Where is my Husband," by Raye. It is hands down the GAYEST song since RuPaul's "Supermodel of the World." Do you agree? www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK5T...

READ about how Diamond Rio’s “It’s all in Your Head,” released in 1996, not only informed a character and inspired my novel HE, but also forms the foundation for the novel itself. Let know your thoughts. #HEthenovel #Blacksky 🌈📚 authorlarrybenjamin.blogspot.com/2025/12/he-p...

THIS is what this administration is focusing on? It's beyond funny, it's pathetic, it's tone deaf. www.dailydot.com/viral-politi...

Think about this for a minute. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social has my vote. And its not because I stand in solidarity with my gay brothers, but because he is tehe best man for the job.

This Diamond Rio song and video played a large role in the creation and writing of my novel, "HE." Martin Sheen's portrayal of the "sidewalk, soapbox preacher looking forward to the end of the world," inspired the character, Reverend Jackson. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8Ot... #HEthenovel

Kristi Noem has two new jets costing taxpayers nearly $200 million. Kash Patel uses his jet to commute, visit his girlfriend, and hit Formula 1. Apparently, the only thing this administration is “protecting” is their travel rewards status. Read more here: www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

64% of Americans do not want the chaos, the hatred, the retribution, the lunacy. 36% are in a cult. How do we get out of this?

In honor of #Thanksgiving, join me for a glass of bubbly and a reading of the Thanksgiving chapter from "Unbroken." In this reading, Lincoln unexpectedly brings Jose to Thanksgiving dinner leading to the kind of #gaychaos only the holidays and homophobia can bring. youtu.be/GJr5zLfMTvI #blacksky
