I'm back to work on BODIE'S SATTVA. Currently reading for inspiration V for Vendetta. It's so much richer than the film (of course) and eerily prescient, right down to the phrase "Make Britain Great Again." Other influences on my novel: The Bhagavad Gita and George Bernard Shaw's play Major Barbara.

Spot on.

@tacobellquarterly.org Happy 4/20! Might this be the day many of us are awaiting?

I had such fun talking about my writing and life journey and sharing excerpts from my novels with a terrific group of supporters at Pittsburgh's Stay Gold Books last night. Much gratitude to everyone who helped make the event so delightful! 🙏🕉️☮️💓 #authorlife #writingcommunity #booksigning #authortalk

Thou shalt not kill schoolchildren to distract from your crimes against children.

Nole!

Footage from the witness in pink who managed to save the footage from ICE coverup. Clearly shows the murder of the man in Minneapolis, Minnesota by Trump regime ICE forces. #3E #GoodVsEvil

With no disrespect to Jimmy Stewart, Frank Capra, and the rest of the creative team, I'm finding this remake of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington even more engaging than the original! #jacksmith #americanhero #impeachandremove #lockhimup #jan6insurrection #stolenclassifieddocuments #releasethefiles

Patriots vs Seahawks Super Bowl rematch?

'Bout time, I'd say.

Our first contingent of Defense forces arriving in Greenland. It feels like home! Looking forward to be joined by Germany, Sweden, France & Norway soon. Flippers up! @ec.europa.eu @germany.diplo.de @swedenun.bsky.social @norwayinusa.norway.no @norwaymfa.government.no @ecfr.eu @en.france24.com

Driving home tonight my dashboard flashed "CAUTION: ICE MAY BE PRESENT", and I panicked for a moment until I realized it just meant the road might be slippery. #AbolishICE #FuckICE #ICEoutforGood #StandWithMinneapolis

In late 2024, my essay "Now Is the Winter of Our Discontent" - in which I read our Felon-in-Chief as Shakespeare's Iago and Richard III - was published in this anthology. Alas, time has proven me right. Somehow I hadn't heard about all the honors the book has garnered. www.nettirw.com/anthologies

ICE Vs ice.

The response to the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good is not what the White House was expecting. Like with their hiding of the Epstein files, part of the fundamental problem they are facing is that the stories the Trump administration has built their movement on are being shown for their emptiness.

Recognize Trump's expression from this meeting with US oil executives yesterday? If this were an episode of South Park, in response to their obvious and understandable skepticism about investing in Venezuela, he'd been saying, "Hey, guys, relax!" 😂

An ICE agent in Minnesota showing their current mentality

DHS propaganda for their ethnic cleansing operation quotes “By God We'll Have Our Home Again” a white nationalist song sung to the tune of Rolling Down to Old Maui, a 19th century sea shanty. Its lyrics are most often credited to a U.S. fraternal neo-Nazi group.

I think the contradiction at the core of liberalism is pretty well illustrated by saying that it’s time to defend democracy like our life depends on it—but to do it in a way that is perfectly orderly and respectful of the law enforcement officers assaulting it

I know I have some Pittsburgh people on here, please come to the EMERGENCY PROTEST @ 7PM tonight outside Pittsburgh City County Building 414 Grant St. 50501 & Pittsburgh Women for Democracy calling for the action.

Please spread the word and join us. Vigil scheduled for 5:00 today at E. 34th Street and Portland Ave S. in Minneapolis for woman murdered by ICE agents.

Satirical website builder extraordinaire @tobymorton.bsky.social strikes again, with lightning speed and brilliance. He's already received and responded with typical irreverence to a takedown notice from Hilton. He's not active here, but you can give him a follow on IG as @wordclown. hiltonice.com

Well, that seems potentially auspicious!

It's official! My award-winning novels are back in print! I'm profoundly grateful to Ten16 Press for their support. To my existing - and future - readers ... heartfelt thanks for going on this journey with me and the characters of these stories. 🙏 #writingcommunity #authorlife #awardwinningbooks

My "fictionalized memoir" that won awards for New Adult Fiction and LGBTQ Fiction and releases from a new publisher on 12/2 (see pinned post) take places from '85 to '92, in part in Seattle, home to Nirvana. Of course it includes an allusion to the famous anthem! #80sculture #writingcommunity #GenX

Author copies of the Ten16 Press editions of my novels arrived today! They'll release together in two weeks, on 12/2. If you're in Pittsburgh, you can buy them at the talk and signing at a local bookstore in January. (Details coming soon!) Preorder links in the thread. #writingcommunity

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

On a podcast last summer, I performed an original 17.5-minute work of creative nonfiction: "My New Tattoo, or, The Incomparable Lightness of Being." I've now uploaded the audio recording to my YouTube channel as video with a still image of the titular tattoo. If you listen, enjoy the journey. 🙏🕉️☮️💓

A long but worthwhile read! #resist #fuckice #nokings #antifa #antifascism

If you haven't seen Freaky Tales, I found the entire film quite entertaining. As a bonus, it will likely vicariously fulfill any desire you have to commit violence against Nazis! Streaming on HBO MAX and available on other platforms. #antifa #iamantifa #antifascist #fucknazis

This seems like a good time to be crystal clear about something: I am Antifa. #IAmAntifa #antifa #antifascist #defenddemocracy #nokings #resist #wethepeople
