I receive from Sanders requests for donations at least every day or two. This one is a bit different. I post it, in its entirety (except for my real life first name). Bolding is mine.

Let me take this opportunity to wish you a very happy holiday season and a wonderful new year.

Federal government officially offers a jobs guarantee program...to the Taliban

Let's be clear: You and I will not be getting a federal jobs guarantee with a living wage. It's for our own good. We just don't understand that having the safety and the security of a guaranteed job so we can provide for our families is not in our best interests.

Something to keep in mind…

Acts of sustained mass civil disobedience.
…
That’s all we have left.
…

…
Especially, as they continue to take Wall Street money

and refuse to confront the social inequalities

The Grateful Dead on December 26

As I am currently in the process of being discharged from medium-term residential medical rehab, I almost forgot my old custom on December 26!

Anyone with Roman Catholic, "Old" Catholic, "High-Church" Protestant, or Eastern Orthodox Christianity in hir background knows what December 26 is: it's the Feast of Saint Stephen, Martyr (see Christian Scriptures, Acts of the Apostles, 6:8 -- 7:60 inclusive).
