It appears there is a group of Santas doing civil disobedience in downtown Chicago while demanding "a city budget for the money not the few." The Santas want billionaires to get taxed. So say we all.

Now's a good time to stick your menorah/menorot in the freezer to get the wax out.
(Some of you did this BEFORE putting it away last year?
How cute!)

Montgomery County first made its “Ride On” buses free to all riders under 18 in 2019. Then on June 29, 2025, it made all of its buses fare-free for all passengers. The system has a fleet of nearly 400 buses, 80 routes, and provided 19.2 million rides in the 2025 fiscal year.
Free Buses Can Be a Reality — Just Look at Maryland
Zohran Mamdani’s plan for free buses is not a pipe dream. Montgomery County, Maryland, made its buses free this year.

Highly reccomend this article. I was watching the Illini-Northwestern game earlier and this gives me lots to think about as a college sports fan.

There is One Simple Trick for JB Pritzker and Kathy Hochul to punish Columbia and Northwestern:
Since both schools have committed to end academic freedom, their land is no longer used for education.
Revoke their property tax exemptions and redistribute millions to public schools like CUNY or UIC.

A worthwhile read to actually understand what is wrong about the previous article, and some of the models in place that do a much better job calculating poverty levels.
A recent essay claims the poverty line for a family of four should be $140,000. I disagree:

Salute 🫡🫡🫡🫡 to all the food scientists at various land-grant universities making fruits and crops that are healthier/tastier/easier to grow etc. some of our society’s real MVPs
This Southern propaganda sucks, but it reminds me of good Apple News I neglected to share. WSU Extension was at our conference last week and brought the new Sunflare variety. It’s not available commercially for a couple of years, but it’s magnificent. Yes, it pairs well with Cougar Gold.
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

This is actually so incredibly important and I hope it actually gets picked up by mainstream news.
Every person. Especially every policy maker, every social worker, every person who interacts with government benefits needs to have this information shared with them.

Your yearly reminder that “holiday” celebrations that only include Christian traditions are not, in fact, inclusive even if you don’t use the word Christmas, so tbh I’d rather you just say it’s Christmas.
Until a few years ago, ugly holiday sweaters didn’t exist. They’re ugly Christmas sweaters, with some generic Jewish iconography to be “inclusive.” But the truth is, when I have to buy one to wear to a work party, I feel like I’m in another culture’s drag.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.
