@JamesMartinSJ As a Jew I appreciate your sympathies, but your phrase “elder brothers and sisters in the faith” is unfortunate, patronizing and ahistorical. The Jewish people are a living, renewing civilization which has continued its growth and development after the first century CE.
@dahleeng What a marvelous column in tribute to your mother! How beautifully you recreated that Christmas morning! I felt like I was right in your parents’ house! May their memories be a blessing to you and all who knew them. And keep wearing that coat!
@InTheThickShow Even with a new co-host who is a POC, “Here and Now” remains a bastion of tight whities. . Interview today re: evergreen/Christmas tree industry BEGGED for follow-up questions on imigrant worker exploitation, Just softball questions from POC Tonya Moseley.
@hereandnow I was hoping with the arrival of Tonya Moseley, you would be more culturally inclusive. SO DISAPPOINTED with her interview with the Xmas tree spokesperson: Are the workers paid equitably? Are they exploited due to their age or immigration status? Nah-just softball ??
@JamesMartinSJ This miracle of light probably occurred in the fall, as part of the festival of Sukkot, but every faith community in the northern hemisphere needs a festival of light around the Solstice, and Hanukkah is ours. Let the light grow each night!
@WBEZ Every so often WBEZplays the two half-hours of #TAL in the wrong order, like you did today. Apology? No, never. Hope tomorrow will be accurate. You did it right on Friday.
