I never go out on this night after beginning waitressing catered parties at 11 yrs old for my family's old business. It was just so scary with old drunk men trying to pinch me & cuddle up.
Tonight, instead, I'm listening to hockey & making online donations, hoping next year is a better one.

Until October 7th, many of us were not paying much attention. Slowly and painfully, we learned that every accusation is a confession when it comes to Israel. Unfortunately the video above is not uncommon as the ethnic cleansing of Palestine has been taking place for nearly 80 years. You support Israel? Just know this is what you support.

In 2026, let’s stop asking how a VP who has biracial kids and is married to a child of Indian immigrants could consider immigrants of color to be destroying the US. As a conspiracy theory, great replacement theory isn’t supposed to make sense. It’s supposed to drum up support for authoritarianism.

Sounds about right.
Russia will not accept any peace deal that allows Ukraine to aggressively defend itself the next time we invade it.

From the Editorial Board: Americans long have turned to books for comfort, curiosity and company. The good news this holiday season is that the bookstores which make that habit possible are rebounding, too.
