Ever feel like you’re doomscrolling climate headlines into numbness? Same. Turns out just 10–15 minutes outside can calm the brain. But with eco‑anxiety climbing, we need more than a walk in the park.

Spreadsheets don’t take sides. They show China racking up EV sales, patents and clean‑energy capacity while the U.S. dismantles its climate‑science infrastructure and bails on the WHO.

The “Un‑Woke” Agenda: How Trump’s America Is Reversing Time, Not Making Progress
America’s cultural rollback isn’t about values — it’s about erasure. And it’s happening right under our noses.

I’m honored to share my latest short story, published in The Silent Script.
It’s about the things we don’t talk about often — the kind of grief that never truly leaves, just finds new places to hide.

It means we are treating America like a business. Government is a not a business. It is an entity that is “supposed” to take care of its citizens. For instance, through environmental agencies that protect our environment, thus our health.

You always have to look deeper. What is the point of doing this? Who benefits from this and why? These questions get to the root of what is really happening.
The Trump Administration is reportedly discussing a goal of deporting a million people this year. It treats people “like pawns who can be moved at will around a global chessboard, to countries that sound less hospitable,” Jon Allsop writes.
The Real Audience for Trump’s Anti-Immigrant Spectacles
A plan to deport people to countries that aren’t their home is cruel, performative politics—whether it works or not.

Maybe Joe Biden handed the presidency to Donald Trump. Maybe he didn’t. What’s clear is that it’s time to move on, stop debating how he got it, and start focusing on who’s going to take it back.
What the public saw of Joe Biden’s functioning was concerning. What was going on in private was worse. @jaketapper.bsky.social and Alex Thompson report on a fateful event that revealed Biden’s diminished abilities—and his decision to continue campaigning.
