It’s a Wonderful Life

This Christmas classic is also just a great movie about capitalism, class warfare, and struggling to see the effect you have on the world. If you haven’t watched it in years, give it a chance!

For a more modern take on community-building, we recommend Klaus, a delightful animated origin-story about Santa, featuring indigenous Scandinavian Sámi characters.

DNC report

DNC report

While endlessly relitigating past elections hurts us, it’s also important to engage in genuine, fact-based analysis of losses. The DNC did just that, promising to release the report…then decided not to release it. With conspiracy theories swirling and distrust rampant, transparency is more important than ever.

On this, the last night of Chanukah, the internet is swarming with claims that the massacre one week ago on Bondi Beach was a false-flag operation.

Celebrate C(h)an(n)uk(k)a(h)

Hate crimes against Jewish people are at an all-time high in America. A poll in February found more than half of American Jews have changed behaviors to avoid antisemitism. Almost one third report avoiding overtly Jewish events out of fear. So this year, find out if your town has a Channukah event (DEC14-21), and go stand with your Jewish neighbors. Let them know everyone deserve to celebrate holidays in joy and safety.
