1/ The Wall Street Journal reports that the main focus of the US-Russia peace talks is to get commercial advantage for American companies, and personal benefits for individuals linked to the Trump Administration. European officials are said to be shocked by the plans. ⬇️

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.

I’m shocked, just shocked that a member of that ragtag bunch of untrained, unvetted gestapo was caught trafficking women

More of these arrests please! State charges can’t be pardoned by the President

Don't sleep on these school board races. They determine trans rights, school lunches, book bans, and history lessons.

It'll take less than 5 minutes to vote today, and it may determine whether children in your community eat three meals a day.
Pennsylvania is a state that has really diverse & high stakes, up and down the ballot tomorrow.

From the article:
Many public officials have over the years claimed or hoped that reinfections of COVID would be milder or carry less long-term risk in children. “But we found increased risks for a broad range of conditions, challenging the assumptions many had that children bounce back quickly,”
If you think the #COVID19 pandemic is done and ever-evolving variants pose no significant threat, consider these two realities, writes contributing editor Andrew Nikiforuk.

Honestly, good for them. Helping Ukraine is also keeping Europe safer from Russia
A "coalition of the willing" meeting in secret to coordinate on defending the democratic West from Russian aggression, and the United States isn't part of it.

Sign of the times. A profound global change, both sad and dangerous.

The secretive meeting will focus on increasing aid to Ukraine and coordinating security guarantees to ward off future Russian aggression, El Mundo reported.

Leaked GOP chat logs reveal a chilling joke about sending opponents to the gas chamber. This analysis shows that such banter fuels a 75‑year chain of ideology → rhetoric → violence, killing 1,400 people—ten times more lethal than left attacks.
