Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

Zelenskyy thanked American leaders almost as many times as Trump was convicted. 👇
JD "Couchman" Vance implied that Zelenskyy had not thanked the US for support when Vance blew up the Oval Office meeting yesterday.
