I love Alysa Liu but her dad also deserves a medal. Arthur Liu protested the Chinese Communist Party after Tiananmen. Fled as a political refugee. Came to America in his 20s. Built a career as a lawyer. Raised 5 kids alone.
One became an Olympic gold medalist.
He is the American Dream. Close the door on stories like his, and you close the door on future gold medals too.

I attended Stroud Book Festival and came away with more than just great books. When you're reading, do you notice front doors and back doors to a story? In your creative endeavours, how do you balance head and heart? Blog post below #BookTwitter #WritingCommunity

Loved this book. I always feel I’m in the safest hands when reading Fran’s work. If you like warm fiction with realistic stakes but a narrator with wry humour, this is ideal! #BookTwitter #WritingCommunity

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela. It should inspire those engaged in similar struggles around the world - and remind those of us lucky enough to live in America that we have a solemn responsibility to constantly preserve and defend our own hard-won democratic traditions.
10 Oct 2025
BREAKING NEWS
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPeacePrize to Maria Corina Machado for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.
