Wishing you all a joyous and peaceful Holiday season.
This is from a Christmas concert many years ago of my parents' group Concentus Musicus of Minnesota. It is a beautiful, contemplative rendition of "Gaudete" with exquisite performances from the singers.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.
No refugee underfunded a school.
No refugee closed a hospital.
No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.
We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Trump doesn't care about crime in D.C. — which is at a 30-year low. He's creating another fake "emergency" in an attempt to show force. If he actually cared about keeping the city safe, he wouldn't have stoked insurrectionists to attack the Capitol on Jan 6. Hello?
