Medals for soldiers who shot unarmed women and children on their own land? No wonder you like Russia so much

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

People seem determined to remember Charlie Kirk as a devout Christian. This includes mainstream and liberal descriptions of him and not just MAGA hagiography. But look, the things he said about people were in direct contravention of Christ’s teachings. It’s deeply perverted to suggest otherwise.

Crimea is Ukraine 🇺🇦

They are literally blowing up boats on the Caribbean

Review copies of BEYOND SEVEN FORESTS have arrived!

Christianity in much of America has lost its true meaning and teachings.

I'm just going to say, as a woman, I'm extremely grateful for modern pain medication.

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski addressed Russia at the UN Security Council meeting:

On this day in 1939, German and Soviet forces marched together in a victory parade in Brest-Litovsk. Moscow called it a “liberation campaign.” For Poland, it meant occupation, executions and mass deportations.

I blurb books I genuinely like. And I really hope the people who've blurbed my books have genuinely liked them.

forcing colleges to put up a statue of someone who didn't go to college and told women to go to college only to get an MRS degree is...something

I wonder how much longer the FBI will even be allowed to run operations like this.

🍂🍁Happy #caturday and (almost) first day of autumn!🍁🍂

Poland and Ukraine have signed an agreement to share experience and expertise in drone warfare, a week after Russian drones violated Polish airspace "We want to benefit from your knowledge and skills," Poland's defence minister told his Ukrainian counterpart.

“My growing fear is that millions of Americans will not only grow up seeing a deteriorated, hybrid authoritarian system as the American status quo but will also come to engage politics having imbibed MAGA’s distorted version of American history.” Spot-on as always.

Writers, artists, other creatives, our voices are more important than ever. Let's not be silent. tr*mpism is fascism. Fascism is evil. Call it out whenever and wherever you can.

On this date in 1939, the USSR invaded Poland in cooperation with its ally, Nazi Germany. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/timot...

Under the banner of the “Great Patriotic War,” Russia hides the dark truth: the USSR helped start WWII on Hitler’s side.

A song from the GLADIATOR soundtrack just popped up on this playlist I've got on at the bookstore this morning. It randomly reminded me of one of my favorite moments from GLADIATOR II, which was overall a bit of a letdown but which included a close-up of a Black legionary, which was GREAT...

Just 3 news out of Ukraine today - russian soldiers filmed themselves killing a horse and posted it - a university was hit with a drone - kidnapped ukrainian children are forced to work in russian factories producing military hardware

Officially on submission to publishers with my first novel for adults! 🤞

Our horrifying descent into authoritarianism continues apace. tr*mp has long made it clear that he's much more comfortable among the putins and lukashenkas of the world than among democratic leaders.

We’ve been holding on to these photos of a Marine unit for quite some time. They were taken by one of the soldiers who worked with them (and happens to be one of the soldiers who rescued Misha). Many of these men lost their lives on the battlefield. Their memory & sacrifice will never be forgotten.

💙💛 @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been awarded the Vasyl Stus Prize — for outstanding contribution to Ukrainian culture and civil resilience. Presenting the award, Volodymyr Yermolenko, President of PEN Ukraine, said that Snyder is one of the world's most powerful voices in support of Ukraine.

Worth noticing that Ukraine defended itself far better than NATO and against a much more extensive Russian attack at the same time. If we want to be safe we have to help and learn from the Ukrainians.

russia attacked Poland this week. Can't believe I'm writing that. Can't believe the news cycle has already moved on.

There is a direct line from believing arts & the humanities are useless to believing empathy is weakness.

Today, millions of people suddenly discovered, to their astonishment, that the North Atlantic Treaty also has articles 1 to 4. Thanks to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for their educational efforts

As often, Reuters minimizes and normalizes Ru aggression. Poland and NATO did war things, the Ru drone just peacefully exists.

Poland has announced that it is triggering NATO's Article 4 in response to last night's violation of its airspace by Russian drones, which were shot down. "This is a confrontation that Russia has declared against the entire free world," says Donald Tusk.

At least 19 Russian drones crossed into Polish air space last night. This was not an accidental breach or a mistake.

At least six Shahed drones crossed the border with Poland. Will our partners finally realize that so-called "escalation management" at the cost of Ukrainian lives will not end this aggression — it only emboldens the russian terror? Or let's double down "talking peace"?

Death tall in russian air strike on Yarova has risen to 23 dead, 18 others were injured, according to local authorities‼️ 3 of the injured are in serious condition. The vast majority of the victims are pensioners. People just stood in line to get their pension!

russia is slowly starting to be welcomed back into the international community in sports, music, & film as people get tired of paying attention to the war. Outspoken Putin supporter Anna Netrebko is headlining the opera Tosca in London. The Venice Film Festival is flying the russian flag.

Russians dropped a glide bomb on elderly people who were waiting in line for their pensions. More than 20 dead. Please. Don’t look away and don’t be silent. This is all I could ask for

Here we go again. If you truly want to honor her, sanction russia, stop the war, stop the need for people to flee their homes. Twisting her death into a tool for domestic politics is... a poor taste.

I just think it's really funny that US government social media has to post AI-generated images of trump in uniform/doing "warfighter" stuff because they don't have any real photos to use

A reminder that this isn't a "renaming" of the Defense Department to the War Department. The War Dept = Dept of the Army as there was a separate Dept of the Navy. The Defense Dept is a new thing with new functions. (Also, when the War Dept. was formed, it was literally responsible for a war.)

I'm one of those who has belatedly found out that my publisher didn't register the copyright for one of my titles that otherwise would have been eligible for the suit. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

He's right. If they were fleeing the Venezuelan dictator, we would just deport them.

How to record ICE: 1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE. 2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video. 3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS 4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How? 5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked. @eltragon.bsky.social

Five months until BEYOND SEVEN FORESTS, my new novel set on the Eastern front of the First World War about a Polish countess and the two enemy soldiers who show up at her door. Out February 3!
