This Giving Tuesday, independent local news matters more than ever. Without reporters sniffing around, asking hard questions or writing about a neighborhood's triumphs, our sense of community + trust in leaders fades fast.

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.
They coined the term “useless eaters”.
They tested the gas chambers on us.
They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.
That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.

Trump's Ukraine "peace" plan is a profit scheme: let Russia keep stolen territory, rebuild for U.S. gain. That's not defending democracy-it's selling it off.

While this NYT article pulls punches on Trump's madness, impulsivity, and delusions, it's useful in that it creates space for other articles about Trump's age and clear cognitive and physical decline to follow. Gift link.

If you read Tatiana Schlossberg’s essay in the New Yorker yesterday and want to learn more about her work, here’s an interview she sat down for when she was promoting her book “Inconspicuous Consumption.”
Tatiana Schlossberg On The Power Of Our ‘Inconspicuous Consumption’
A new report finds global efforts to combat climate change over the past several years have been "gravely insufficient,” and according to the Global Commission on Adaptation, it's not so much money, but rather a lack of political leadership that's the source of the problem. A new book from former New York Times science reporter Tatiana Schlossberg details ways in which our everyday choices in clothing, technology, food and fuel contribute to the problem — and how consumers can make a difference by demanding more of the companies and governments behind the systems at play. Jim Braude was joined by Tatiana Schlossberg.
