I’ve reached the point where I’m not logging on to the rest of social media. I need a brain break from all of this. But I always feel like I’m not “in the know” about what’s going on so I don’t take as many brain breaks as I should. Cutting out all the noise besides you and Heather Cox Richardson, and 1440 Daily Digest e-mail is what I do. Thank you
Sometimes i need to disengage also. I have a couple of friends who i have entrusted with the responsibility to call me if i need to pack my *go bag* and head for...i don't know where.
She is my other go to as well (HCR). I like the quality of both of their voices. It is calming isn't it?
Good taking those measures for yourself. Yes, I actually get disappointed when Heather isn’t the one reading haha but overall the delivery or what needs known is most important. Oh yes and 1440 daily digest, I need to return to checking that each morning in my e-mail!
Thank you Aaron. Reporters like you are on the frontlines of this battle. Thank you for your courage, your energy, your commitment to the facts and the truth, your commitment to our country and Democracy.
Aaron, Adam Kinsinger, and Jason Egenberg for me. Not loud, not self-aggrandizing, they don’t need to hear themselves using foul language to get attention or to get a point across. Smart, hard-working, thoughtful, and civil, they report the facts without the drama.
I absolutely identify with you. "Oh my God! what if I miss a live video? Or scroll through a post?" Well so what? It's hard going through this. But we're doing the best we can. And, like you, Marina, I so appreciate Aaron. Hang in there.
More like I don’t pay for cable so I don’t see any local news unless I’m on Facebook where I follow local to me news stations & pages about what’s happening in my city, county, and state. Unfortunately, it’s the easiest place to see all that.
Watching MAGA on TikTok talk about the green light to come for the left is seriously giving me anxiety. They are actually losing it and I’m afraid of what’s to come.
I have not signed up for TikTok or X and do not intend to. Between the speculation and hate and stupid challenges, I believe they are the most destructive of all the SM I am aware of. I know there are more. I'm still thinking about BlueSky.
For the most part, commenters on BlueSky are much more civil, much like on here. They even apologize if they misinterpret a comment or post. I pick and choose who I want to follow and then I can "browse" if I want to see if there are other writers or commenters worth following.
I used to have X but it became too hateful to continue. Found the people I wanted to hear from on BlueSky.
Just FYI for the Wall Street Journal and others: there is no such thing as transgender “ideology”. Also, the markings on the bullet casings, besides some coming from a game, were using Groyper talking points. Thanks for your work; I hope you can have a peaceful weekend
For SHAME on the WSJ, formerly a reliable news source. I haven't looked into this myself but if it is true, it is disgraceful reporting. This race to publish will be a big part of the downfall of us all.
Four year ago, I was annoyed while driving my three-year-old granddaughter home from preschool. From the backseat, her wee voice said, “breathe, Bibi, breathe.” Today and in the days and weeks ahead, I hope we can all take time to breathe. I wish peace for all of us and thank you for your messages, Aaron.
Pshew! What a week indeed! My head is spinning and my heart hurts. Thank god for people like Aaron who can straddle that monster divide and still make sense. I’m scared; I’m upset; but I can see a wee light far in the distance! I sincerely pray we can make it that far.
Aaron, Sign off, turn off your phone. No electronics until tomorrow morning! Take your wife’s hand and go for a walk, look at the stars, breath in the fresh air and let it cleanse your heart and soul. Get a full night’s sleep. Thank you for what you’ve doing.

The Bulwark is really good too. Aaron is great and HCR. All three are great.
My trio as well, but I'll add another to make it a quartet: POD Save America. :)
Thank you. I’ll look into it
Jim Acosta as well. Brain breaks are necessary!
So glad for your self care. 🙏

Belle of the Ranch is one I ALWAYS watch. Brief, (less than 4 min) and factual without sensationalism.
Add Scott Dworkin to your list. He’s Substack list the positive things that happen. Very positive.
Can you send a link for the Daily Digest?

Thanks Donna!
Same here!
Thank you for your integrity. Have a peaceful night
Thank you for being a beacon of hope and light. It is so needed in our world today.
As soon as we are rid of this lawless administration we need to reinstate The Fairness Doctrine with a good deal of updating for the mainstream media!

Unplug this weekend, Stacy. Rest. Take a break from the madness. We all need a reset this weekend. Sending you love ❤️ 🇨🇦

Excellent advice for ALL of us. Thank you, friend. ❤️
There is a lot of misinformation out there. What the right-wing maga are doing is definitely disinformation. #NoKings
...definitely dangerous. #NoKings

Thanks so much.
Will hear from you tomorrow💙💙
