Interesting read.
Over 24 days in 1946, the German novelist Hans Fallada produced a rare, and now timely, literary touchstone. The novel—based on a Gestapo file—is an exploration of the sometimes corrosive, sometimes energizing nature of fear, Hillary Kelly writes.

One of the most deranged, reckless, hateful, cruel, and absolutely pathetic post from Trump to date.
And, all in some twisted context with Thanksgiving! As sick as it gets.

"and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country..."
No one is safe when a bully is in charge.

20-year-old West Virginia National Guard member, Sarah Beckstrom, died a day after volunteering to serve in DC so that others could enjoy Thanksgiving with their families. She deserves our gratitude, not political exploitation by a shameless president who scapegoats immigrants to swell his power.

A Few Hundred Accounts Are Quietly Steering A Nation Apart
A surprisingly small circle of social media users can reshape an entire country’s political divide, and Finland offers a vivid case study. In a new paper in the journal Network Science, researchers from Aalto University use Twitter data from the 2019 and 2023 Finnish parliamentary elections to show that elite accounts contribute far more to online polarization than their numbers would suggest.
