What we’re witnessing is the result of Israel acting with impunity.

We don’t agree on a whole lot but he flagged me down the other day to tell me that he liked what my “friend Luigi” did.

For years I didn’t understand why he insisted his driveway was clear, I never saw him drive anywhere. But, I wouldn’t let an elderly man shovel his drive when I could bring over a snowblower. A couple of years ago I asked - it has to be clear in case he needs to take his wife to the hospital.

It’s that time of year I do things for the neighbor everyone calls “angry Steve” solely because I refuse to be the one that sits with angry Steve while we wait for an ambulance. You know, that horrible product of socialism.

Really excited to be writing about nukes again, and to be working with Ploughshares on their story center! Keep your eyes peeled, more to come.

I’m from a very large family - we typically celebrate at my cousins (who is actually my great aunts daughter, is that still a cousin?) and this year she is still hosting but in the last couple hours told us she will not be there… 2/?

"Just minutes after President Biden announced that a ceasefire agreement had been reached, an Israeli airstrike once again hit in the heart of Beirut," NYT reports.

"It appears the fighting is set to continue until it formally goes into effect at 4 a.m. local time in Israel and Lebanon."

Some Quick Notes Toward The Holidays I’m just saying.

Hi, here are some quick notes about the upcoming holidays.

If your absence from the holiday table is a political act, don’t assume your silence communicates your politics. Tell them why.

“I don’t break bread with people just attempted to poison me.”

“They did what they were supposed to do. This is why we need them,” said Monica Simpson, exec director of SisterSong, one of the groups challenging Georgia’s abortion ban in court. “To have this abrupt disbandment, my concern is what we are going to lose in the process, in terms of time and data?”
