Great show, Jim. I was heartened to say the least at Thanksgiving when two young women to whom I am related launched into a beautifully illustrated and savage attack on Israel and the US' genocide in Gaza. I was very surprised and thrilled to hear their obviously well-researched and nuanced positions, and they were quite angry and outraged at the huge political and moral failings here in the US (one of them, my niece, was called an anti-semite (of course) for bothering to speak the truth). They are not alone in the young cohort who will have to fight the fascists in the very near future. I am sure of that.

Anyway, something is stirring amidst the current witless (as always) banalities of our ordered existence during the upcoming "Holidays." I'm looking forward to Christmas with my family, where hopefully some of this crazy shit gets aired out.

Great to hear about that Thanksgiving encounter, Tim. It's really heartening to see how much this is happening in the US now. Definitely something new.
