This holiday season please invest in books. Books about history. Fiction, non-fiction, comics. Read like your life depends on it. I advocated hard for @jysexton.bsky.social and @jeffsharlet.bsky.social and @johnfugelsang.bsky.social books in the past. This year 👇

We have an epidemic in this society where we believe shame still has the effect it once did. Instead of spending time and energy attempting to dunk on bad actors, we should focus on calling these episodes what they are; lies.

This bigot should experience no safe haven in our society ever again.

I don’t think lawmakers who care about equality and democracy should try to court individuals who will never be convinced that equality and democracy matter. Democrats do not have a problem with the “number” of potential voters. Democrat leadership has a misunderstanding of the majority of voters.

It is not legal to target civilians of a foreign country with missile strikes without due process, even if they are smuggling drugs. The survivors of the first strike being murdered, is a different issue. Which is also not legal.

A Fox News weekend host has made a U.S. Navy Admiral the fall guy.

Great job Republicans.

If ownership and leadership changes, then focuses on supporting democracy and journalistic integrity, I will subscribe indefinitely.

I don’t think there is anything humorous about the Secretary of Defense joking about No Quarter and even to dunk on him or poke fun at him, or the situation lessens the seriousness of the murder of foreign civilians and further deteriorates the reputation of our military.
