The founders were confident that when America was faced with a power hungry wannabe king abusing the powers of the Presidency that Congress would quickly act to impeach him. They were so confident in this that they left few other guardrails. We're now paying the price for their shortsightedness.

Oh hey, I'm proud to contribute to worker-owned and independent new site Skybox! This is my essay about having a stroke, losing the ability to write or walk or play video games, and digging myself out of that depressive hole using video games. It's maybe the most vulnerable writing I've ever done.

The Trump administration announced it is ending Temporary Protective Status for people from Afghanistan who sought safety in the U.S. This cruel action puts thousands of people at risk of being deported to the very country where they fled persecution.

If passed, the SAVE Act would make it significantly harder for millions of eligible citizens to vote. The House has already passed it — tell your Senator now to reject this bill and defend our democracy.

Stop the SAVE Act
The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to vote no now.

The Trump administration deported two families, including three U.S. citizen children, after cutting them off from their lawyers and disregarding one of the child's need for cancer medication. This is inhumane and illegal.

Three U.S. citizens, ages 2, 4 and 7, swiftly deported from Louisiana
The cases have renewed concerns that the Trump administration’s expedited deportations are violating the rights of both citizens and noncitizens.

It doesn’t get talked about all that much anymore but I think it’s probably hard to overstate the impact Oblivion had on the early days of the Xbox 360. I’d guess that its success also really changed things for Bethesda as a company, too.
