Kind slipped past me that yesterday was the 20th annniversary of the release of my first book, the forensic thriller "Body Trace," under the pen name D. H. Dublin (long story). It was the first in a trilogy, followed by Blood Poison and Freezer Burn. Still have great fondness for those books!

I love this. “As a result, our technology took action.” So, hardly ever on #Threads and now I never will be. Posted about my wife’s environmental award & my sister’s journalism award and their AI said I had violated “community standards.” After a 25-minute review (more AI), they deleted & banned me.

Devastating, and only the beginning. We all share responsibility, some more, some less, but guiltiest of all are the fossil fuel industry and the GOP, who have known this was coming and fought tooth and nail against any effort to avoid it. The blood on their hands will never wash off.

This is fucking insane. If Congress or the courts don’t step up, he will pillage this country between now and 1/20/2029.

I've never seen anything like this. The Trump admin just granted preliminary approval of a federal bank charter to the family's crypto firm World Liberty Financial. Remember: Trump raked in almost $800 million from WLF last year. No president has used their power to profit the way Trump has.

Very excited to be one of 25 writers selected for the first cohort of the @buriedcreek.bsky.social, climate education program for writers, put together by Sara Davis and my pal @sbfeldman.bsky.social. (And yes, they will be doing it again next year if you are interested!) #ClimateFiction

This is insane and an obscene miscarriage of justice. The question isn't "if," it is "How fascist?" The answer is, sentences of up to 100 years for constituionally protected free speech: nonviolent protests and even "30 years for moving a box of anarchist zines." www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Maybe a bit better than Kid Rock? "Putting the expansive U.S. intelligence community in the hands of a loyalist who has targeted the president’s foes. ...Pulte, who has no prior experience in an intelligence role, will keep his existing titles as FHFA director & chairman of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac"

Sure, it would have been great to win (or make the short list) but I'm really glad Helen Phillips and her book Hum won the 2026 Climate Prize. It's a fantastic book. I loved it and was truly honored to be on the longlist with her and so many other great authors. Congrats! climatefictionprize.co.uk

The DOJ violates the Epstein Files Transparency Act on the daily. So I'm suing Todd Blanche. As a journalist, I cannot report accurately on the Epstein Files if I cannot even read them. I am represented by @brendanballou.bsky.social & we seek to hold the DOJ accountable for its noncompliance.
