Like so many, I am gutted by the horror at Bondi Beach, especially at the start of Hanukkah - a celebration of light and Jewish resiliency. This essay spoke to me - especially this:

“I don’t want to celebrate resiliency; I want to see reform.”

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Just dropped the last visiting relative off at the airport.

There must be a word that combines the deep appreciation for the calm after the holiday chaos and the simultaneous
deep sadness for missing your family.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

“Did Women Ruin the Workplace?”
No, shareholder capitalism did. It “built a culture that treats workers like machines, not human beings with bodies, families, and limits…”

For much of my career I have focused on helping leaders be, well, better leaders. I coach them to understand that one of the keys of great leadership is listening.

Now, I realize listening is also a key to a great democracy.

What a great read. Thanks @karaswisher.bsky.social for sharing

This won’t get the headlines NYC and Virginia and New Jersey are getting, but the local results of yesterday’s elections in Salt Lake County (which includes both blue SLC and purple and red suburbs) seem significant.

This is the teacher federal agents grabbed yesterday at Rayito De Sol daycare in front of children. Attorneys for Diana Santillana have filed a petition in federal court to have her freed from ICE custody.

Absolutely heart breaking. He speaks for so many including the son of one of my close friends who worries every day what will happen to his parents - hard working, tax paying immigrants who, like my ancestors, believed in the American dream and wanted more for their children.
We must do better!
He’s right. He should be focusing on school. Trumps new family separation is cruel & wrong. And yet the “religious” GOP party sits idly by.
Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

Thank you for your service, Nancy! You trail-blazed and fought for what is right.
Now - finally - a new generation of leaders can arise. Ladies - who’s in?

Every race. It’s basically been every race.

Governors. Mayors. Long-held GOP dog-catchers. School boards. Water boards. Flipped a dungeon master in a rural Iowa D&D club. State senators. State reps. A janitor in Duluth. State justices. Three GOP Uber drivers.

Just everything.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.
