It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

This is my Christmas gift to my homeless neighbors, to the volunteers who get great joy from helping them…and, yes, to myself. Merry Christmas to all!

49. The game isn't over by far. But make no mistake: we are winning. That's something to be proud of. It's something to accelerate. It's nothing to take for granted. And it's certainly no time to take Yglesias' advice and fumble the ball so the other team won't feel so sad. /fin

Article 22 is a jewelry company that repurposes Vietnam War shrapnel and battlefield debris. A portion of their profits goes to the Mine Advisory Group, which works to remove landmines still left in Laos (they've removed more than 300k mines!). I like the company's "Shard" necklace collection.

Here's a link to the collection, if you're interested. There are also some really beautiful necklaces by a Ukrainian jewelry maker made from Russian shrapnel, although the pieces are a bit more expensive, as they're more intricate.

This OpEd is a prime example of the thesis of my book: climate policymaking isn’t actually polarized, but instead unified around a center that dismisses climate science and lies about the economics of fossil fuels.
Matt Yglesias has a "Democrats should support more fossil fuel production" OpEd in the Times today, which criticizes me for saying that energy policy should try to uphold the goals of the Paris Agreement.

A lot of Dems/centrists love to punch to their left, accusing young radicals of being naive, unreasonable, having their head in the clouds etc….

all while maintaining the most childish, unmoored fantasy of what the GOP is or ever was
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."
