Looking forward to the launch of A Cruel Cold, my third Meredith Island Mystery. I'll be sharing this wonderful evening with fellow crime writer A.L. Jensen who is launching Murder by Nordic Design. Come for the Finnish and Welsh nibbles and stay for the murder. #authorevents #bookevents

Donald Trump launched a trade war against Canada expecting them to fold, and instead Mark Carney and Doug Ford are fighting back. I break down why Trump has picked the wrong fight with the wrong country. youtu.be/RJOFFvWcuZU

Because my Meredith Island Mysteries take place in Wales, I try to include some Welsh language in each book. The differences between the Celtic languages can be confusing, so I'm posting this chart to help people understand. @nettajohnson.bsky.social @crimewriterscanada.bsky.social

In solidarity with James Comey, Americans should legally, non-violently 8647. Republicans should impeach him so that Americans can post seashell photos again. Sincerely yours, a Canadian,

NEW EPISODE: One year into Donald Trump’s second term, I discuss the collapse of democratic guardrails as big law firms, legacy media, corporate elites, and government institutions capitulate, collaborate, or stay silent while democracy is under sustained attack. Watch and share.

Trump's weirdness doesn't get more outrage, because at this point Trump supporters strip out the audio of whatever Trump is saying and replace it in their heads with what they want to hear, like Homer Simpson watching a movie in his head when he's bored. /1

He BROKE the law. He did not “defy” federal laws. He didn’t “sidestep”them. He broke them.

Actual and suggested NYTimes homepage for May 11/2025, @nytimes.com. My thoughts on the coverage this moment in history is calling for.

...(I am Canadian), for the sake of history, show us how seriously we should be taking it. The average American is only mildly aware, and mildly concerned. They won't thank you later for the subtlety...6

Netta Johnson @nettajohnson.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

After all, will Americans be needing as much cooking, culture, sports, when the state controls all aspects of American life? Is this how the papers covered Watergate? A little small section you could go find if you knew where to look for it? For the sake of your country... 5

Netta Johnson @nettajohnson.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

...from noticing that something this important is going on? How about if NYTimes was only covering the new authoritarian status in the USA, the lack of ‘business as normal’? How about if NYTimes let readers know how serious this is by suspending all other coverage…? 4

Netta Johnson @nettajohnson.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

...but isn't it really an ‘above the fold’ type of event, that the NYTimes (and anyone else paying attention) believes that the USA is not a democracy? Is there anything that can be done to help that person in the grocery store, trying to keep their toddler from putting more chips in the cart... 3

the current situation. However, it took me 6 minutes to find it even though I was looking for it and I knew it would be there. I understand that the NY times is a business, and there were lots of thing happening all over the world, including an American Pope... 2

Netta Johnson @nettajohnson.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

A couple days ago, in the NY times, there was a very important article about how you know when you are no longer a democracy. Spoiler alert, the tell is that people cannot criticize the government without being targeted. It was a good reference point to help people place... 1

It can never be forgotten that one of the first social media campaigns Russia ran in the US was promoting anti-vax sentiment. Why? For it would cause Americans to die and rip apart our social fabric.

He likes Putin because he heard he was the world's richest man. Same for Elon. Now he is trying to get a position controlling the Catholic faith. Devotion? Vatican assets? Will ponder.

Before we all get back to BBQ, let’s get the headlines right. They haven't been right much of the last few years, and now fascism is running amok in America. As a reader and a neighbour, I am asking the NYTimes to tell its readers what the stakes of this moment actually are. For all of our sakes. 14

Netta Johnson @nettajohnson.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

NYTimes headline 6: HONEY GARLIC SHRIMP, MINE ALL MINE - Lots of upbeat headlines on everything, but if congress, the DOJ, the FBI, the Military are not free to act without Trump’s interference, won’t that overtake the BBQ plans we all have? Who knows? We have never been here before…13

Netta Johnson @nettajohnson.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

speak and the world is reeling from the chaos, is this the way you want people to read your coverage? Sounds like a grant that was pulled. How about.. COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY GRAPPLES WITH TRUMP ADMINISTRATIONS’ FINANCIALLY PENALIZING THEM FOR POLITICAL SPEECH ON CAMPUS (longtime America tradition…)…12

NYTimes headline 5: COLUMBIA CONCEDES TO TRUMP IN ATTEMPT TO RECLAIM FEDERAL FUNDS - I can see there is an attempt here to capture what is happening, but it has not been successful. Imagine a few years in the future, when the US is governed by authoritarian rule, and no one is free to …11

Is that really what the New York Times should be telling readers in these precious days where democracy & freedom are hanging on for dear life? How about REPORTERS PUSH TRUMP ON LEAKED INFO INDICATING THAT THE ACCESS GIVEN TO HIS TOP CAMPAIGN DONOR EXTENDS TO INFORMATION REGARDING CHINA WAR PLANS…10

Netta Johnson @nettajohnson.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

NYTimes headline 3: TRUMP REJECTS IDEA THAT MUSK SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO TOP-SECRET CHINA WAR PLANS - Okay, so here’s the thing. To the casual viewer, it sounds like Trump is a stand-up President, just business at usual. He is holding the line, as he should. Nothing going on here... 9

Netta Johnson @nettajohnson.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

…because that is what you are telling your readers? How about… TRUMP VIOLATES CONSTITUTION BY DEPORTING UKNOWN PEOPLE FOR TATOOS, WHILE TRUMP’S NEW CORRUPT DOJ LEADERSHIP ARGUES THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT BOUND BY LAW…8

NYTimes headline 2: JUDGE APPEARS SKEPTICAL OF TRUMP’S USE OF WARTIME LAW TO DEPORT VENEZUELANS - I don’t want to tell anyone their job here, but this sounds really vague. Are we really trying to tell readers that the main thing is a skeptical judge? Are they really Venezuelans…7

that are noticing that people from their countries are being detained or deported to foreign hell-camps for things like ‘having a tattoo.’ The Trump Justice department is like ‘Why do judges get to intervene?’ and the rest of the world is watching to find out how bad will this be. …3
