Thanksgiving is an opportunity for connection, not conflict
Be a guardrail against extremism & Ask, respond, or help redirect escalating conversations with questions instead of giving speeches, example
“How do you think we protect our freedoms?”

Stormwater drama: Key Biscayne manager says he won’t be disrespected by council member
Insults and hurt feelings overshadowed a midday meeting about the Big Dig on Wednesday. Key Biscayne Village Manager Steve Williamson said he would not have his professional reputation impugned by Council Member Ed London, who said the manager had “hoodwinked” the Council on Big Dig expenditures. The word hoodwink” means “to deceive by false appearance.” “What you just said was very disrespectful,” Williamson said.

Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30
*
I am the first Indigenous journalist to exclusively interview António Guterres. How many others will listen?
Humanity has failed to limit global heating to 1.5C and must change course immediately, the secretary general of the UN has warned.
In his only interview before next month’s Cop30 climate summit, António Guterres acknowledged it is now “inevitable” that humanity will overshoot the target in the Paris climate agreement, with “devastating consequences” for the world.
This interview is also published in English, Portuguese and Spanish by Sumaúma. Continue reading...

Driven by a massive outlay of $66 million in capital projects, Key Biscayne Manager Steve Williamson finalized his 2026 budget request Wednesday with a plan that would spend $111 million, setting the stage for complex and costly “Big Dig” stormwater and underground utility construction to start next year. The budget would increase property taxes by an average of 3.8%. It would involve extensive borrowing -- nearly $36 million, much of which will be paid for big increases in stormwater fees in future years.
