@andrewjgregor.bsky.social Congratulations on winning the 2026 New York Book Festival with your novel ROSCOE. I love that book, couldn't put it down.
Huge ⚽ fan; have just watched the BBC TV drama "Dear England": Gareth Southgate and his time as a team manager. Great actors, brilliant screen play. All real life players were portrayed so well; especially Harry Kane. Almost makes me wish England would win. Alas, am 🇩🇪 So, no. Not this year. Sorry.
Drunk on the power his corrupt sychophants on SCOTUS and GOP have handed him, he might do well to remember how most dictators end when the people finally has enough. Mussolini and Ceaușescu are just 2 examples. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_o...
In Feb. 2018, I posted political satire; created a mock frontpage of the Washington Post which is shockingly close to today's reality, except with a few different political figures. 2018 was obviously just a dry-run. Sadly the WaPo is no longer the voice of democracy, since Bezos bent the knee too!
@joncooper-us.bsky.social We all know Trump and his cruel cabal in the WH know next to nothing about history nor do they care, but this is something somebody of the WH press press corps (other than Rachel Maddow who did on MS Now) should point out to POTUS when he is spewing his megalomania again.
@stlouisbooks.bsky.social Proud to annouce thecrelease of my new novel, a satire. End of October in bookstores and on Amazon.
@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Stephen Miller calling the political opposition "insurrection" and "terrorist organisations" is disgustingly reminiscient of Goebbels doing much the same to silence any and all opposition in NAZI Germany. Photo: Joseph Goebbels: "Radio belongs to us!" [USA FCC under DT]
@sadofballantrae.bsky.social Look at these photos side by side. One is the destruction of Israel's bombs on Gaza, the other the aftermath of bombings in WWII. Different wars, same carnage and ruins! Except, the population of Gaza have no state of their own, can't defend themselves.
@sadofballantrae.bsky.social @sadofballantrae.bsky.social The Last Word was so right with this title of its segment. I have never seen and heard anything as embarrassing and disastrous as Trump's speech in front of 800 generals of the US military. Hegseth was cringe worthy, but Trump's: looney!
@sadofballantrae.bsky.social So exited! Have a reading at a bookstore tonight; introducing my new novel DANCES WITH WOMEN. Looking very much forward to connect with readers. Always nice in such an intimate setting.
@scoller65.bsky.social As a foreigner watching this, I am saddened seeing what the USA has become: an authoritarian state in decline facing economic downfall and becoming a pariah within the international community. This admin is filled with the most incompetent loyalists to an imbecilic dictator.
@sadofballantrae.bsky.social I fear for all of us still of sane mind. I don't want to live in a world where down is now up, facts and science are discarded in favour of lies and conspiracies, where lawlessness is now official policy in a country once considered the beacon of democracy #FightFascism
@chrisjustice01.bsky.social The insanity: in 2025, we are actually living the dystopia Orwell wrote in his novel 1984.
@sadofballantrae.bsky.social my greatest fear: criminals DT pardoned might be used like the special unit in 1940. This unit consisted of 80-100 felons pardoned by Hitler; assembled by Himmler to conduct special ops. Their crimes so heinous that even the SS was scared of them; wanted them dissolved.
@chrisjustice01.bsky.social And this crime will have lasting and seriously damaging repercussions to ALL Americans
NAZIS (fascists) in Europe during 1933-1945 were much like a cult following with fervour and adoration their leaders; small-minded people with low self-esteem needing to validate their miserable existence. But now, in the US, such a cult is following a tumb wannabe King and malignant narcissist.
Plan to turn the USA into a fascist authoritarian state is almost complete! Trump Admin has already got the judges (see SCOTUS); dissenters are imprisoned or their jobs are taken away, ethnic cleansing going on by mass deportation, education dismantled; soon under full control of Trump admin. BEWARE

@ninjazz636.bsky.social My thouths on humanity of late. this is how I imagined the last meeting of the "civikised" world would go.
@riverwriter.bsky.social @andrewjgregor.bsky.social Hope all will remain oeaceful. And, remember, an accusing silence is often more deafening than loud chants. 💙 #NoKing #FightFascism #DefendDemocracy
For a large number, facts no longer count, science and common sense have become a "woke", elitist thing, and education and intellect are shunned in favour of ignorance. Cconspiracy theories, some so crazy that it defies decription, are now truth for these people. The inmates run the asylum.
@evodaily.bsky.social You know what really enrages me: the direct correlation of children's deaths due to malnutrition or famine to thd annual military spending of rich industrial nations. Look at these numbers. (Btw, Trump's exploding deficit is as much as all global military spending together)
@andrewjgregor.bsky.social The prior death toll of WW II and the war in Ukraine were just "prime" examples. Considering all current "conflicts", like in Sudan, Gaza, Kashmir, to name just a few - these wars currently have produced over 75 million refugees. Humanity is a disgrace as a species!
