Amen - “So be it” - to every word of this one. This is as good a time as any, here at the end of another surpassingly ____(fill in this blank)____ year, to thank you for the Light and clarity you share with us. You, like Heather Cox Richardson and others, have contributed significant and trustworthy weight to the scales of history. Thank you, thank you. I am very grateful.
Thank you for this Denise! Peter I didn't recognize your name....so thanks to Denise, I get to say how much I love your photographs that show up in Heather's newsletter. Moments of beauty of all kinds, moments that inspire joy and expansion of my spirit. Thank you!
Robert, this edition of Today’s Edition is powerful. How you managed to celebrate with family and digest information found in the many sources you offer represents your greatest gift to all who read, your commitment to every reader and the cause of democracy and justice. You have certainly gone well beyond your initial mission to bring perspective to your daughters. Wow! This recounting of key events and their significance is so valuable to all who read it. Thank you!!
I'm sure Mark Elias will give ignorant airhead Kari Lake the New Year's present she deserves - a defamation suit. She should have stuck to being a dumb bunny New Age hoo-hah playing Kabbalah.
As to Abbott - he's the best argument possible for expelling Texico from the Union and building a wall around it. This native Texan is glad I left before whatever it is in the water that turns white males into scumballs there got me.
They are all around, along with old hateful witches. The Texas “evil trio” will hopefully jump the shark, but the damage is ongoing. Hate rules the cult fools but the hue is trending purple
It's always great to hear from a person who actually knows Texas. I just keep looking and wondering what happened? I keep reminding myself that there are a lot of really good, reasonable people in Texas, but I just keep wondering whether they are in hiding. I"m sure they must be as frustrated and appalled by the bigots and bounty hunters who have grabbed the megaphone as I am. How can we help?
Some of the best people I know are "from Texas," only a minority are still "in Texas." In fact I am of the opinion that "good people" in Texas are "more good" than good people elsewhere, because it's harder to do there.
Several phrases stand out from today’s report: Trump as “madman”; the helpfulness of governmental “redundancy”; the “cruelty, period” of Abbott (even more incomprehensible because he gives orders from a wheelchair); and the impunity of Santos’s election lies. It would be hard to overestimate the importance of your simply stating the plain truth, Robert. You are helping to keep democracy alive.
Beautiful message in today's post about core human values of caring for one another. Amen and thank you Rob for the daily dose of sanity you never fail to provide!! Happy New YEar.
Thank you, Robert Hubbell, for this Edition of your Newsletter. I was moved almost to tears reading about Governor Abbot. At our family Christmas, a couple male members of the family were laughing and making derogatory comments about "illegals" being dropped off in front of Vice President Harris' home. I had not read or heard about that incident, but I was overcome with a deep, deep sorrow listening to family members talk in such a vicious way. I want to try to gather the courage to pass along your newsletter to them but I hesitate to do so due to fear for the consequences regarding my relationship with the family.
I just told off my brother for repeating Fox bull Schitt to me. He hasn’t done it since. I would hate to lose him, but deliberate cruelty and stupidity won’t fly.
Andrea, your report of family members joking about Abbott’s cruelty is understandable. Yet, I hope you find a way to share your the information with all who sat at the table so peers might reflect on the depth of depravity the Texas governor continues to show. Silence can often be misunderstood or leave each of us to contemplate what path we take in such difficult times. These family dynamics are certainly fraught with many perspectives. I wish you well and thank you for sharing what is most challenging around a lot of family tables. You are not alone.
Ooooh; that is a tough one. I am disturbed for you! I live in Northern Vermont- my home town is Provincetown, MA. I know cold. It sickens me to see these, or any, people with no socks or any cold weather gear on, sitting on a sidewalk in freezing temps. I am fortunate to hail from a companionate and empathetic family and I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the concept of having to “… listen to family members talk in such a vicious way”. I’m sorry that you are going through this.
Hi, Andrea. I am sorry for your difficult family situation. It is sometimes impossible to disrupt family bonds over politics. That is understandable and regrettable. I hope you can find peace as you navigate a difficult situation.
That's such a hard position to be in. Nobody should blame you for keeping the peace in your family. Perhaps you can lead by example, without being confrontational.
I think there has to be a way to speak up without being confrontational. I found myself in a similar position with a neighbor some years ago before I understood the "own the libs" business. He invited us over for dinner and said all kinds of slightly veiled things about blacks and Hilary Clinton. I'm sorry now I didn't just stand up, say thanks for the dinner, and leave.
Nobody can tell you how to handle such an awkward awful situation. We can only find parallels in our lives. I have zero tolerance for bigotry and hate. When it appears within the family circle, it's a very tough call. Whatever we do will receive criticism.
My son-in-law's father is a friendly enough guy but he is somewhere to right of DeSantis or Abbott. And he doesn't hold back. I explained that we would be delighted to join the family for dinner - if he was not there. Our kids made other arrangements to see him. I will not suffer his presence.
All our situations are our own. But in my mind, we are fighting for "the soul of the nation". We won't change minds. But we CAN marginalize. We can establish reasonable standards of behavior.
What would Jesus have done with the migrants? Was he not born of migrants searching for shelter?
I am a tolerant guy with no reservoir of tolerance for haters who treat others as subhuman.
I’m with you. I will not be around people like this. When I am, I speak out, not with anger but firmly pointing out the inhumanity (and invariably right wing views lack humanity) of their position.
Much better to speak up now. This intentional cruelty will continue and intensify if it is not checked. Just remember, these people don't care a fig for your feelings. But this is still a tough situation and it's good to learn how other people are dealing with it because it's happening all the time.
So many of us know that subtle and soft fear that has us question whether we say something. My own family gatherings over the years have had some tense moments. How we question is part of the equation and sometimes a reminder to family members that most of us hail from migrants who landed on this shore with little but our clothes and a name of someone from our clan who was surviving and would help us. It is hard to confront family and fear the potential relationship rupture. I hope over time you can find that voice of power in you to share your sadness at their hopefully only momentary loss of kindness and humanity. Somedays the ‘I expect better of us’ as a family is a powerful reminder, especially if you are now an elder stateswoman in your family, so to speak.
You'll find a way. I think we all need to speak up now, regardless. If we do not speak up and out, the bullies will continue to own the megaphone. It's hard to do, especially if you've been trained to keep the peace in the family, especially during the holidays, but it has to be done. Hate and dehumanization of other human beings has a way of escalating. Apparently your laughing family members weren't concerned about your feelings.
Greetings Robert. Thank you, as always, for keeping us up to date and sharp on the implications of recent news events. I appreciate that you included the current cold snap and snow in Today's Edition. While the press has called the recent weather, "a once in a generation" event, looking at the frequency and destructive impact of other weather events over the last few years, I suspect that we are ignoring reality. We are seeing and living through the early stages of impacts of increased CO2 in the atmosphere. Carbon emissions come from a myriad of sources including from lifestyle choices. Just as we harnessed our collective efforts in the months past, similar efforts need to be applied to rolling back climate change. Awareness matters. Turn off the unneeded lights, use a clothes line, think before you buy. What is the impact of our actions or inaction? Thanks again for all your good work.
VERY good point. I should put "once-in-a-generation" in quotation marks to indicate that it no longer reflects the reality of our crisis-driven climate change.
Hi Robert, Looking at the the big picture, two significant forces are playing a disproportionate impact on society, economics and politics. They are climate change and COVID. They are putting enormous pressures on all of our institutions, including Democracy. After all, isn't it easier to lean toward a showy demagogue to find a sense of security than it is to unpack ones own responsibility to deal with these matters? You are an important resource to many of us, helping us to reflect on daily events. While it may add to your already heavy tasks, I ask you and other thought leaders to point to our opportunities to deal with these challenges. We can impact climate change through awareness and making better choices. We simply must if we are going to survive. Equally, once past vaccinations and masks, Long COVID now impacts well more than 5% of our populations. Think about the impact of this many people who are disabled, not able to regain their place in our socioeconomic world. My personal view as a scientist, is that the answers to both of these issues lie primarily in education. You do this so well. Thanks again!
Agreed. Some climate models predict a mini-ice age in the northern parts of the US. It may have to do with the rapidly-warming Arctic and the consequent disruption of the vortex there.
I couldn’t agree more with your assessment of Governor Greg Abbott’s cruelty. Calling out his hypocrisy by juxtaposing 2022 immigrants suffering in 15° weather with biblical immigrants at the Nativity is entirely accurate. While many mainline churches are quiet about such atrocities, there is one organization working to specifically call out Christian nationalism. I think it might be helpful for your readers to know about Faithful America. I have contacted them, requesting that they tackle this recent egregious stunt.
From their website:
Faithful America was founded in 2004. We are the largest online community of Christians putting faith into action for social justice. Our members -- Catholic, Protestant, and more -- are sick of sitting by quietly while Jesus' message of good news is hijacked by the religious right to serve a hateful political agenda. We're organizing the faithful to challenge Christian nationalism and white supremacy and to renew the church's prophetic role in building a more free and just society.
Hi Gary, Thank you for sharing that. I will check it out because I have long been totally disgusted by the way the way the religious right has has hijacked the message of Jesus. It is wrong and we need to push back against that.
I appreciate today's message very much. Thank you for the suggestion to sign up for Marc Elias's newsletter - I've done that as well as TCinLA... I'm also glad that I got a Christmas card off to Paul Whelan... I hope he got so many that he could feel a huge wave of support!!
John the Baptist warned the cruel leaders to repent, lest they suffer the consequences of their behavior. Despite over 2,000 years of historical examples of his warnings, guys like Abbott and his buddy DeSantis test God while they claim to honor Christ. They should be worried that pandering to religious hypocrites reveals the impurity of their souls.
Bravo, Robert! So appreciate your extensive background reading, study, and succinct summaries. And for juxtaposing Gov Abbot’s immigrant cruelty with the genuine spirit of the Christmas nativity immigrant story. Bravo!!!
If you haven't read the January 6 Report I recommend it. The Report is not in dry Government speak. It is written in a fast paced, clear and detailed way.
"He has been pilloried on social media as the grand architect of a wide-ranging conspiracy theory to force judges to uphold the law." That sentence explains today's republican party -- red-faced, screaming outrage that judges and court systems have the audacity to enforce the law against them. It is both sad and frightening. As suggested, Marc Elias just got another subscriber.
Anybody who still thinks Abbott has the slightest Christian inclination is bonkers. He is as evil as they come. So are his adherents. Of course, his recent reelection gives him and his cult admirers such a warm glow this Christmas season as they dole out misery to the “other” that Jesus would have welcomed…. What Pharisees they be,,, As for chump, may this be the year that he pays for all the years before.
I can’t think of Abbott directing his minions to perform the cruelties he administers to “illegal immigrants “ without thinking of Potter in “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Life imitating art!
Thank you for your letter/post today. It is as many have already stated, a well written blend of truth, hope, call to decency, foundational, human moral values of kindness and community, and more. Excellent work. Thanks for the inspiration.
The George Santos scandal is really something. But I wonder...how selective or uninterested are our local reporters and news outlets that all the BS in his resume comes out AFTER he is elected and just days before he is seated in Washington. The oppo research by the local Democratic field organization was insufficient or not given the support form the higher ups that was needed. And ITMT, Kevin McCarthy has another vote. Gag me.
Some of the gaps ( craters) in George Santos’ resume were unearthed in the Democrat opposition report but not all ! But the hapless Democratic candidate either never read it or never understood the implications. That candidate would probably not be a big improvement over Santos himself. As for those poor voters in that district …………… ?
Interesting thread. Thanks! I strongly believe that Santos is going to jail. The evidence strongly suggests that the $700,000 he "loaned" to his campaign came from a Ponzi scheme shut down by the SEC about six months ago.
Amen - “So be it” - to every word of this one.

He'd probably like my sister. :-)
I know he’d like my brother! 🫢
Alas, Janet Sobel and Carol Gehl, he’d like my sister, too.
Andrea, your report of family members joking about Abbott’s cruelty is understandable. Yet, I hope you find a way to share your the information with all who sat at the table so peers might reflect on the depth of depravity the Texas governor continues to show. Silence can often be misunderstood or leave each of us to contemplate what path we take in such difficult times. These family dynamics are certainly fraught with many perspectives.

We were all relieved this Christmas when our MAGA nephew didn't show up.
Ooooh; that is a tough one. I am disturbed for you! I live in Northern Vermont- my home town is Provincetown, MA. I know cold.

I can use "I expect better of us as a family." Thank you, LH.
That is a great idea. Thank you for that.
You might (politely) ask them why they refer to asylum seekers as "illegals." They are not, of course.
Family means different things to me these days
You'll find a way. I think we all need to speak up now, regardless. If we do not speak up and out, the bullies will continue to own the megaphone.

Just looking at some current data. I really lowballed the percent of the population with Long COVID. See this reference. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/covid19/pulse/long-covid.htm
Actually they way you put it - with repetition - conveyed the point pretty well, if only implicitly.
Agreed. Some climate models predict a mini-ice age in the northern parts of the US. It may have to do with the rapidly-warming Arctic and the consequent disruption of the vortex there.

Marty--THANK YOU for the reference to Faithful America. I will note in this evening's newsletter.
It is always wonderful to read of good folks standing up to address those who seem content to distort or ignore the message(s) of Christ. Thank you.
Thanks for the info on Faithful America! I'm going to see how to help ... tired of agreeing in my head and heart. It's time to use my hands, too.
Hi Gary, Thank you for sharing that. I will check it out because I have long been totally disgusted by the way the way the religious right has has hijacked the message of Jesus. It is wrong and we need to push back against that.

If they were true Christians, they would fear for their immortal souls, the answer is clear
Bravo, Robert! So appreciate your extensive background reading, study, and succinct summaries. And for juxtaposing Gov Abbot’s immigrant cruelty with the genuine spirit of the Christmas nativity immigrant story. Bravo!!!
If you haven't read the January 6 Report I recommend it. The Report is not in dry Government speak. It is written in a fast paced, clear and detailed way.
My copy is on the way. Thanks for the heads up on its readability. I shall immediately take a deep dive into it when it arrives!

I hope he does go to jail. It is very sad and discouraging sometimes to think that people continue voting these creeps in.
