UNPOPULAR OPINION: Spending hours gaming is better for your mental health than hours of doom scrolling through social media. Games give you critical thinking, strategy, stories, goals and actual dopamine, as opposed to anxiety.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Abolish ICE. Deny all those who worked for them any honors or employment in government ever again.

ICE’s Detention Center outside Chicago was sued on October 30 for allegedly abusing detainees. One day later, a "system crash" lost all video footage that could have shown how detainees were being treated. trib.al/QwT3aqI

People should start talking immense shit to Leavitt but only by quoting things Trump has said before. I’d like to see her explain why we can’t call her a piggy.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law. This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

If a democrat president called for the deaths of Republicans they’d be removed from office before the weekend. Trump does it and Fox spins it as a bold statement against the radical left. Republicans are the fucking worst.

The President called for the murder of Congressional Democrats. Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation. Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them. It's the very least they should be doing!

While writing my first novel, I held onto a line from the movie, Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come." As in, "If you write it, they will publish it." It kept me going. And now I have an offer on the table. Build it. They will come 🙏 #WritingCommunity #BookSky #WriteSky #AmWriting

The extreme and psychotic overreaction by Trump and Stephen Miller to Democratic military vets in the Senate and House urging service members to remember that their oath is to the Constitution and not a man tells us a lot about the Trump admin’s plans for the military.

Since arriving in Congress in 2019 as the youngest Black woman ever elected, I’ve had 19 pieces of legislation signed into law — delivering real progress on health care, veterans’ services, homeland security, and more.

A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading. This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

It turns out that the folks at Anthropic used two of my books to train their Large Language Models. I've gone and submitted my claim via the class action settlement. If you're an author whose work has been stolen, you should too

The St. Nicolas Church in Hérémence, completed in 1971 by Walter Maria Förderer, is a brutalist concrete complex embedded in the alpine landscape, with sculptural massing, a distinctive double-cross bell tower, multi-level community spaces, and warm timber interiors contrasting exposed concrete.

Massie: “It may be tempting for [Senators] to get cute and to do things that will limit the release of these documents. They are afraid that people will be embarrassed. That's the whole point here. They need to be brought to justice, and embarrassment is no reason to stop it.”
