Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

So this happened today. Conor McGregor was welcomed at the White House. You couldn’t make it up. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she "couldn't think of a better guest to have with us on St Patrick's Day". Dear God in heaven! People of America, what is happening to your country?
