Gunnar war in Kassel bei einer Lesung von @saraparetsky.bsky.social Sie las abwechselnd mit ihrer deutschen Verlegerin und Übersetzerin @elselaudan.bsky.social aus ihrem neuesten Roman #Wunderpunkt vor und erzählte in gutem Deutsch von der Entwicklung ihrer Protagonistin. Ein gelungener Abend.

Sara is having an amazing time meeting readers in Germany in her tour there! So far she has visited Kassel with Brencher Buchhandlung and Hamburg with Buchhandlung Wassermann, and is looking forward to Munich and Berlin.

I never thought I’d see the cowardice that we’re seeing today. The heads of universities, media corps, law firms, elected officials … all afraid of a gaudy orange insecure liar. It’s just overwhelmingly shocking.

Auch im Urlaub hat Gunnar immer einen #Krimi dabei. Diesmal musste der neueste Roman #Wunderpunkt von @saraparetsky.bsky.social mit zum Strand, in dem die Privatermittlerin V.I. Warshawski einem Mordfall in Kansas nachgeht. #Thriller #Urlaubslektüre #Krimiserie @elselaudan.bsky.social

7 neue Titel haben es in die Krimibestenliste August 2025 von Deutschlandfunk und Deutschlandfunk Kultur geschafft und wie Gunnar #Wunderpunkt von @saraparetsky.bsky.social gefallen hat, erfahren wir bestimmt nach seinem Urlaub. Hier auf dem Blog! @elselaudan.bsky.social #Thriller #Krimi #Rezension

we are currently watching an entire political party run cover for the most notorious sex trafficking ring in modern human history

Oh so the president could release secret files if he wanted to, you say?

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Trump's administration is not only openly flouting the law, but they're also abandoning their responsibility to our students. Today, I'm joining governors across the nation calling upon Sec. McMahon to release $6.8B the administration is withholding from schools and students.

Thank you ♥️

UTAH… this is not a game…

Nothing screams 'freedom' quite like arresting people in wheelchairs protesting Medicaid cuts.

I'm attending John Lewis Actions's event, “GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON: Chicago, IL” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/john-lewis-a...

By executive order Matt 25:34ff now reads, "Jesus said with his fingers crossed and a wink, 'I was hungry and you fed me...I was a stranger and you welcomed me...I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ ...as you did it to one of the least of my people, you did it to me.’

The monstrous budget bill is up for a vote this week. we can phone bank Mon, Tues & Weds, asking voters to call their senators to vote NO on cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and other vital social justice programs. www.mobilize.us/wfpower/even...

The Supremes seem to be against both the Constitution and against the lives of ordinary Americans. Two sick-making decisions today, this one in addition to allowing the regime to eviscerate the 14th Amendment

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Multiple choice quiz for the supremes. Which clause in the Constitution do you hate most: 1) Equal protection guarantee 2)Separation of Church & State 3) Due process 4) Free speech 5) Goals listed in Preamble 6)Protection against search & seizure 7)No involuntary servitude 8)All of the above

In a just world, the hospital would have told HS Sec Noem, "You're out of network. Either you pay all charges or find a hospital that accepts your insurance." Or - everyone in America would have access to taxpayer-funded gold-plated insurance available to her, Congress, and other high flyers

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

If you're in Chicago, join Sara this Saturday, June 21 at 5 pm at 57th Street Wines for Words + Wine! [EM]

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

I want someone to read this to me in a sexy Luther Vandross voice.

Sara joined thousands of friends in Chicago today! [EM]

RFK Jr., who's supposed to be all about "facts and logic," is out here removing members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee?!? Y’all, these aren’t political appointees. These are public health experts—people who’ve spent their careers working to keep Americans safe from disease.

I'll be there in Chicago

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

John Phelan is the regime's secretary of the Navy. he apparently announced that today, June 7, was the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. There has to be some secret exam given so that this stupidest, cruelist and most ignorant people are the ones appointed to high positions.

💥✨🇺🇸✨💥🍀

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Any questions?

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL UPCOMING PROTESTS. 💙 PLEASE PASS IT ON. ✊

Republicans have a new slogan for Iowa. 😬🥴😵‍💫 #JoniErnstSucks

Donald Trump’s little BD party & tank parade is expected to cost millions of our tax dollars, all while Republicans claim there’s no money for Social Security, SNAP, or Medicaid. We say no tanks - #NoKings! Join us in Chicago on Sat June 14, 12:00 pm, Daley Plaza. Info: tinyurl.com/NoKingsChicago

I am one of the 1,350 individuals and organizations who signed the open letter to HarperCollins in support of IMLS, libraries, and library workers across the United States.

THANK YOU!!!

#Trump took a jet from Qatar. His meme coin made him billions. He’s ignoring courts, expanding ICE & more... He doesn’t know if he has to uphold the Constitution. If we don’t stop him, we crown him. No Kings. June 14. Daley Plaza. 12–2. @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social

Sadly I did not know this for the first 55 years of my life. They do not teach you this. This is absolutely true. And we should honor all of them this Memorial Day and always 

If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting. - @lianabrooks.bsky.social #WriterSky #BookSky #KidLit
