The young woman next to me at the Christmas Eve service had never been in a church before.

She said she really liked the singing especially “the one about about Noel.” Then she asked, “what does that mean?”

She was delightfully curious and added to the joy of the night.

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

And 1 million Epstein files appeared from thin air

“Trump’s presidency is enabled, normalized, and protected by a wide class of political, legal, media, and economic elites who chose caution, self-interest, or fear over civic responsibility… The most conspicuous retreat came from Republicans in Congress.” open.substack.com/pub/marcfrie...

“Why isn’t there a White History Month?”

Because every month is White History Month. History is written by the victors — and colonizers. Much of the American history and literature we learned for generations erased the contributions of marginalized groups.
