Mark my words, he will throw his own mother under the bus if it makes him feel big, powerful, and rich. No one is immune. #SoMuchWinning

#KendrickLamar did more in 13 minutes for the #resistance than any single Democrat lawmaker or all their feeble efforts combined. Their lethargy fails my confidence! Turn off the TV. This was Lamar's Call to Action! #CallToAction #Revolution

It's all about the money so hit them where it hurts. #Divest from these big techs who are cow-towing to him and destroying our country.

It's all about the money so hit them where it hurts. #BoycottTheirProducts and #BoycottTheirBusinesses.

I think I earned my bread today!

The 2 sweetest words for an author are 'The End.' I'm proud to say that my 70,000 words manuscript is now in my editor's hands. I've been at this since 2017, so yeah, it feels great but surreal! #Authors #Writers #Writersky #SkyWriters #WritingCommunity

I'm a Californian, a patriotic American, and I stand in solidarity with our neighbors 🇨🇦 and 🇲🇽. This is what #Resistance2025 looks like. #StandingWithCanada #StandingWithMexico

I fly every three weeks & it's not comforting to be a frequent flyer RN. Dear Federal Government employees, I'm sorry I never said Thank You enough! 🙏 #FAA #TSA #UnsafeTravel #frequentflyer #FederalEmployees

#HappyBlackHistoryMonth! Don't think for a moment that they won't come for you next, no matter the color of your skin, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. Nothing is sacred or safe. It's all about their power, ego, and money. 🍊 💩 #Resist #NotMyPresident

I will #resist, #defy, and continue celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth2025. I will start by reading the book The #UndergroundRailroad by Colson Whitehead. Do not comply and obey in advance.

We need a Trojan Horse uprising to counter theirs and fast! #resistance #notmypresident #fightfascism

Make it a prosperous Lunar New Year with love and health. Everything else is frosting on the cake! #LunarNewYear #LìXì #RedPocketMoney

Chúc Mừng Năm Mới, các bạn! Happy #LunarNewYear, dear friends. It's New Year's Eve in California, USA. #Tết #VietnameseAmerican

Chúc Mừng Năm Mới! Tết Ất Tỵ! #HappyLunarNewYear! Year of the Snake. The actual date is January 29th, 2025.

There's something so satisfying and down to earth when you make fresh herbal tea from your garden using mint, rosemary, lavender, lemongrass, lemon balm, etc. Try it! #cleanliving #herbaltea #gardening #organic #loosetea

Gutting FEMA and Mortgage Interest Deduction will bring people to the streets. Remember the French Revolution? Just saying. #Revolution #NotMyPresident

The #dismantling of #democracy is at warp speed bc the people have voted him in. Their safety, livelihood & ours will now have fewer guardrails & continue to disappear. As a result, the billionaire tech giants will benefit from our losses. That's why the cowardly men courted him with no dignity.

I don't own a Tesla! I canceled Prime. I deactivated FB. I'm still on Instagram, Threads & WhatsApp. Well, with Google, I can't seem to find a way out. How do you deal? #onedayatatime #notmypresident #techbillionaires #oligarchs

When the #dominant-culture & #Not-my-president say they're #colorblind, they're not saying they respect POC as equals & preserve DEI policies that will foster social & economic security & equality. It's an erasure statement that we don't exist or count. We are on our own to advocate for ourselves.

How is it that we ended up here with someone doing a Na*i salute at the inauguration and getting away with it? I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. #oligarch #fascism #notmypresident #resistance

Writing helps me cope with reality. It's my pressure relief valve when things are beyond my control, especially in the next four years, but it has only begun. #writing #writers #authors #writingcommunity #Resistance #notmypresident

I'm unsure how to manage the next four years without my blood pressure rising, but I plan to focus on writing, reading & spending time with my grandchildren. My mission is to live with intention, purpose & positivity, regardless of the chaos and challenges around me. #writers #authors #resistance

My plants did fine while I was away! #greenthumb #joke #humorindarkdays

A warm welcome to #BookTok & #Booksky community 📚💕. I believe in #Diversity in books, empathy, and resistance against fascism and book banning. I'm a diasporic Vietnamese American author sharing my refugee experience in the US and the lasting trauma of the #VietnamWar. Let's learn from our history.

Not precisely #5AMWritersClub but I've been up since 6, reading & notating more #historical details for my MS, adding context & a broader understanding of #Việtnam #history, the #TếtOffensive of 1968 & the #FallofSàiGòn. Light stuff like that! #writers #writesky #skywriters #authors #Vietnamese

4:45 PST and I'm up to the challenge of writing with the #5AMWritersClub! Have a fruitful writing session, y'all! #writersky #writesky #writingcommunity

Done! Great idea 💯

Nope! I have never listened to her, and I won’t start now. I don’t want Spotify to play any of her songs. #Nope #Resistance #Boycott #Cancel #NotMyPresident

It may sound simple to you, but I love #writing and #reading books. They both helped me get through the darkest times, and I will continue to do both as long as I shall live, so help me God. #writersky #skywriters #writingcommunity #authors #readers

Writers can be like magicians, creating enchanting prose that makes the world a better and more tolerable place through our books, unlike politicians who seek to ban them. #5AMWritersClub #Writesky #writers #writingcommunity #authors

April 30th this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Fall of Sài Gòn in '75. War leaves invisible, lasting scars on people & unless treated, will create intergenerational trauma. My goal as a mom was to not pass it on to my next gens & honor my late father's legacy in my upcoming #book. #writers

Writing truly is a labor of love. Why else would anyone wake up at an ungodly hour to do it or pour their heart, soul, and gallons of good, strong, black coffee into it for little pay? But, my friends, the intrinsic values and rewards are my pay & they are immeasurable! #5AMWritersClub #writerssky

#5AMWritersClub writer friends, so you are on Eastern Time since you checked in and are writing this early. It's 3:40 AM PST for me on the US West Coast but I will join you because I'm that excited to jump into my writing! #writers #authors #writersky #skywriters

Yay, yay, and yay! My editor said he would have his notes to me soon, but he also said, and I quote, "For what it's worth, I think it's quite good!" #writers #writing #writingcommunity #authors #editing #writerswrite #writersky #skywriters

The Vietnam regime's change in 1975 resulted in some geographical feature name changes. I spent a significant amount of time researching, comparing old to current #maps. I was a GIS cartographer & I feel compelled to create maps for my next #book. Do you use maps in yours? #writers #authors #writing

#Research & #Read as much as possible on your #writing topics! And mind the #dialogues with regional dialects. 'Little things' like that will keep me deep-diving and revising until I'm almost satisfied because IDK if I will be 100% to call it done. #Writers #authors #5AMWritersClub #Writingcommunity

I'm working with my editor on my first pass at the MS. It felt good, except now I'm second-guessing two chapters on the battles for Huế and Đà Nẵng, Tết Offensive, 1968. This week, I'm focusing on #rewriting those chapters. Better now than after it's in print! #writing #writing #5AMWritersClub

Good morning, #writers of #5AMWritersClub. I'm thrilled to start my second week of early writing with all of you. Thank you for gathering in this space to inspire one another and bring us one page (or ten) closer to our published books. #writingcommunity #writersky #skywriters #authors #editing

How my Southern Vietnamese relatives asked how I'm doing, "Sao?" An extreme abbreviation for, "Sao rồi, khỏe không? Meaning, So what's going on, are you well? #VietnameseLanguage #VietnameseAmerican #Diaspora #Refugees #ImmigrantExperience

Do you ever see a person or a situation and think, "Now, there's a good story!" #writers #authors #writingcommunity #writersky #skywriters #writinginspiration

We joked about 'hall passes' so our spouses could have time away for themselves, family & friends. But it's no joke. We fell in love with them for who they were when we met them. Continue to support their needs and nourish their bodies and souls as you would for yourself. #Married & #InLove 40 yrs.

I offer my love, time & written family legacy to my grandchildren. Our ancestors not only survived foreign occupation & colonization through quiet resistance & perseverance, but they overcame it so that we could continue our quest for #freedom. I vow to uphold this legacy w/ the power of my #words

When the world is sad, play hide and seek with young children 🩷 #joy #positivity #grandchilren

I organize and measure my day between writing and non-writing activities and feel whole when they are in harmony. #writers #authors #writingcommunity #skywriters #writersky

#Writing has been a cathartic experience as I reflect on my dad's life, which began in 1928. He endured the French & Japanese occupations, the Vietnam War & the subsequent challenges of #acculturation in the US. I welcome the #grieving now as I've denied my teenage self this process for #survival

My new motto is writing in simple language but doing it well—no ten-dollar word. If I can't say it with ease in my audiobook, it doesn't belong. #amwriting #writers #authors #WritingCommunity #writingTips #writerSky #SkyWriters

I often think about the pleasure of #reading a good book and my desire to pay it forward with my work. Easier said than done, hence the many passes at #editing! #writing #writers #skywriters #writersky

My first #book was my protest after the 2016 Presidential election when the anti-refugees and immigrants and the separation and deportation of families first started. Now, my second book, not coincidentally, will be published in his second term. Can't believe democracy is eroding! #authors #booksky
