Celebrating 25 years of writing Sonderbooks, I'm reading my old reviews. It so makes me want to reread books like Close Kin, by Clare B. Dunkle! So good! Here's my 2004 review: www.sonderbooks.com/YAFiction/cl... #Sonderbooks25

Can't believe I have to say this, but it's 2025 still and apparently this is how this year has gone:

True True, by Don P. Hooper, is about a Black kid sent to a prep school to be on the robotics team - then discriminated against and pulled off the robotics team. Martial arts help him navigate his response as he's pulled between two worlds.

🇺🇸 Here’s something I hope you consider most of all today, patriots:

"Trump isn’t even close to as powerful as he wants you to think he is, and you are far, far more powerful than you think you are.
WE are leading the change and the charge.
And we WILL win.
I swear to God we will ..."
NEW YEAR'S BREEZE
The political winds are changing, and Democrats will flatten Trump's weak, grotesque Republicans in 2026 ...

As 2025 comes to a close, I feel the need to re-state my position… just so we’re clear.

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

The Ten Commandments:

“I am the Lord your G-d, who brought you out of…the land of slavery

You shall have no other gods before me

You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below

You shall not…worship them”
This is beyond Christian nationalism. Imagine worshipping Trump.

Record-breaking retirements in Congress. That’s not “frustration,” that’s people seeing the building on fire and heading for the exits.

Expect more retirements in January.

Maybe this whole “anyone can be president” shtick wasn’t such a great idea.

If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.

Remember when reporters cared about honesty in reporting?
This is how every interview with tRump should go. Every time he tells a lie, he should be confronted with an actual truth.

Be reminded. We have a rapist in the WH. All those in Congress, his Cabinet, & the DOJ who attempt to cover his crimes is complicit. They all deserve consequences. And, most importantly, the survivors deserve justice.

The third paragraph reads as if the Russians wrote it. Maybe they did. In any event, it is an atrociously big lie; 1984-grade, as Aaron Rupar rightly says.
War is peace. Russia is fully committed to peace in Ukraine.

I'm starting to think that Epstein was a major player in the Trump child rape and trafficking ring, not the other way around.
