I wouldn’t feel as if it were Christmas if I didn’t share Balmain’s 1955 cocktail dress. I can only imagine how the wearer felt, arriving in this perfect Christmas gown. To all those who celebrate, I hope you are enjoying peace with favourite people. Sold via #KerryTaylorAuct #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I did a lot of Christmasing earlier in the month, so I’m enjoying a chill quiet day. Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, and to those who don’t, I hope you had a great day and that we weren’t too annoying. ❤️

Everyone in the government that was involved in sending American people to the CECOT concentration camp must go to prison.
Prison. There must be consequences. Starting with Kristi Noem.

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.

This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

Wins like today are important in the fight against an authoritarian regime. They expose the state. They remind people that they should stand up and fight back. They inject some faith back into institutions. They push back against the zero sum thinking that can doom resistance.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

As has been the case the the past several Christmas seasons, I’ve found O Holy Night’s 3rd verse to hit especially hard:
Truly he taught us to love one another;
His law is love and his gospel is peace.
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother,
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Truly he taught us to love one another;
His law is love and his gospel is peace.
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother,
And in his name all oppression shall cease.

Good. Robert E. Lee was a traitor who raised his sword against the government the U.S. Capitol represents.

If you lose power and are using a portable generator, remember to only run it outdoors at least 20 feet away from your home. Portable generators can produce deadly levels of carbon monoxide in minutes. Make sure you have a working carbon monoxide alarm on every level of your home.
In the wake of Monday's cold front, a second cold front will cross the Pacific Northwest Wednesday followed by another atmospheric river. Each of these features will bring additional periods of gusty winds, mountain snow, and heavy to excessive rainfall with renewed flooding. weather.gov
