Europe needs to understand that the way Trump is treating Ukraine over the new mineral deal (trying to rob them blind but give Ukr no security) is how he will deal with Europe as a whole if he sees them as weak. The only way to deal with Trump is defiance--not bridge building.

@dark-forces.bsky.social Nice Curt Tyler story in latest Mobius Blvd

The members of the Jan 6 Committee are all proud of our work. Your threats will not intimidate us. Or silence us.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

Know this rhetoric is a daily occurrence now but christ “incompatible migrants” is phrasing indistinguishable from the most vile neo-nazi screeds & is the type of dehumanizing language that can & will lead to the unthinkable

David Salner takes us from the late 15th century, to late-stage Capitalism to late for work. Enjoy the trip. www.muleskinnerjournal.com/surviving-a-... #writingcommunity #litmag #flashfiction #literature #writers #fiction #fictionsubmissions #fictionwriter #poets #poetry #poetryjournals

An old story of mine, still up on the ol’ Internet: www.undergroundvoices.com/UVDionneRonA...

Question: Which kind of short story is harder to write — mainstream, or genre (sf or horror or weird)?

Old an Soviet joke: 2 men are standing in the bread line in the USSR. After 2 hours of waiting, one said "I've had it! I'm going to shoot Stalin!" He storms off. Returns a few hours later, looking sad. "Did you kill Stalin?" The first man asks He replies: "You think this line is long..."

First piece I’ve placed in a while, in the warm and welcoming Muleskinner Journal. Hope you like it!
