A Linden-area church offering Spanish-language mass at 7:30 pm on Christmas Eve and 11 am on Christmas Day has asked for a protective presence outside their building. We are recruiting people willing to show up in support of our neighbors. 

If you are or may be able to show up and protect our neighbors celebrating Christmas in this environment of fear, please respond to this email and express that you are able to join Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or both. 

Another travel day today but here we go:

We covered yesterday the current CBS scandal, after Bari Weiss pulled a “6o Minutes” segment on CECOT torture etc. at the last minute largely because there wasn’t enough appearances by Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem. But, big whoopsie, it turns out the program had already been sent to some outlets in Canada, which aired it, and some eagle-eyed viewers taped it off the TV.

We begin our definitive investigation of the economics of the Diablo Canyon nuke with JOHN GEESMAN.

This great California attorney cites corruption and Diablo's scam of hundreds of millions of above market costs that are destroying the economy of California.

Geesman confirms that using PG&E’s own numbers, Diablo will cost California $5 billion over the next 5 years in over-market charges.

From the Mothers for Peace we hear from LINDA SEELEY emphasizes the safety aspects of this unregulated, uninsured radioactive nightmare.

Mothers stalwart LINDA PARKS warns that tritium emissions from Diablo exceed those still pouring out of Fukushima.

From Beyond Nuclear KEVIN KAMPS dismantles the insane attempt to re-open Michigan’s ancient, decrepit reactor at Palisades.

Safe Energy legend KARL GROSSMAN does the numbers of Long Island’s Shoreham, which he helped shut.

Karl reminds us of CRAC-2, the devastating Sandia Labs report on the apocalyptic damage that could come with the next reactor disaster.

He also reports on the massive network of seismic faults around and under the Diablo reactors.

Long march against ICE

In Central Ohio, the federal government has unleashed untrained individuals from outside the community, who think they are unaccountable. But greater Columbus has responded in one voice. From the grassroots, which quickly organized itself in sophisticated ways, to civic leaders and faith-based institutions, Columbus is sending a unified message: Immigrants are welcome, ICE is not. Read on for quotes from leaders; more examples of ICE brutality; and resources keeping the community safe.

Columbus Responds With One Voice

From disrupting ICE agents’ sleep, to documenting abuses and holding them to the Constitution, Central Ohio activists, lawyers, and organizers are mobilized around the clock.
