This holiday season, there are a lot of families broken by political division.
Some people have been forced to cut people off, unable to stand listening to hate over dinner any longer.
Don't feel guilty if you've hit your breaking point with MAGA relatives this year.

Living authentically as yourself, so long as you aren't hurting anyone else, is something that you should be able to celebrate. Never hide who you are to make other people happy.

Any news article, that uses these words isn't a serious news source.
They are arresting innocent people left and right to meet quotas, and they are getting violent ones by accident.

It's so easy to demonize the people living under a government that's doing something evil.
It's easy to say, for example, that all Russians are terrible people who fully support Putin.
The truth tends to be more nuanced than that.

I am officially married, content, and enjoying the tail end of a short honeymoon in a tiny seaside town.
My spouse and I are sitting cozy by the hotel fire, spoiling the friendly lobby dog with belly rubs and ear scratches, and trying every cocktail we can.

It almost but not quite goes without saying:
The Trump-Hegseth memory of American history treats the Civil War as having two sides of Americans, both of whom deserve to be honored as heroes. It treats the wars between the Union army and Indian nations entirely differently.

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
