There’s an old Ukrainian folk tradition –
the ritual of leading the goat during the Christmas and New Year holidays.

My new Sunday Letter tells about it, along with a few of my reflections on the things I share.

Ukraine is home to many talented people.

This young artisan from the Carpathians is one of them – just look at her work (especially her vyshyvanka 🤩)

Greetings from Kyiv,
where there’s no power at home,
but snow outside.

It’s the first snow of the winter season.

Rand Paul: "The president also said, 'Be careful Colombia, you could be next.' I mean, if we're gonna go and topple regime after regime in South America, there's no amount of money that could be printed to pay for that and I don't think lives should be lost without a vote by Congress."

REP. @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “The biggest ‘welfare queens’ in 🇺🇸 are corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes, and CEOs who get a tax deduction for flying on a private jet — not hungry kids, or working parents who work multiple jobs.”

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

🚨The courage, the honor, the truth and candor missing from the U.S. government in this moment has one unadulterated Congressperson who is standing up to the lies: Senator Mark Kelly. Spread this message, this truth, this courage.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

“Instead of 3% or 4% GDP, it should be able to 20% or 25%. I don’t know why it can’t be.”

Anyone with even a modicum of knowledge about economics knows but the Stable Genius clearly does not.

Massive Layoffs at the Dept of #Education Erode Its #CivilRights Division

Only five of the agency’s civil rights offices remain nationwide. Those who are still with the department say it will now be “virtually impossible” to resolve #discrimination complaints.

This man with a sign ‘Hugs warm you up’ offered free hugs at the Christmas market today.

Kurazh Market is one of the best in Kyiv.
It happens about once a month and celebrates Ukrainian craftsmanship and spirit.

Today, I took my Patreon supporters to a Christmas market in Kyiv
(sorry for such a spontaneous idea).

Why only supporters?
It was very crowded – not safe for open live events.

I didn’t buy anything, but supported them ⬇️ on behalf of our warcoffee family.

I have a suggestion for my Patreon supporters.

I’m at the Christmas market right now
and want to invite you to a spontaneous live walk (in real time) through it.

In an hour, at 3:30 pm Kyiv time.
