A nice obituary from December 31, 2024 about my Great Uncle Herman Neufeld (my mom's Uncle).
I never really knew him as I grew up 4000km away... but he had a positive impact on people, especially Jamaican workers, in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
"Herman, who died Dec. 31, became very involved in the Niagara Workers Welcome services and other outreach programs. He considered the farmworkers his friends and neighbours, and treated them as such."

Just 32 fossil fuel companies were responsible for half the global carbon dioxide emissions driving the climate crisis in 2024,
down from 36 a year earlier, a report has revealed.
Saudi Aramco was the biggest state-controlled polluter
and ExxonMobil was the largest investor-owned polluter.
Critics accused the leading fossil fuel companies of
“sabotaging climate action” and
“being on the wrong side of history”
but said the emissions data was increasing…

The first year of Donald Trump’s second term in office was marked by the rapid implementation of his far-right program.
From ICE to DOGE,
from anti-DEI to anti-antifa,
and from bombing boats to $400 million bribes,
Trump’s regime has turned out even more extreme than feared after he was elected to a second term in November 2024.
His words and actions as president have been covered extensively over the past year,
as have those of a number of internal advise…

The U.S. economy is more distorted than ever.
The widening gap between corporate profits and average workers
— between capital and labor
— helps explain the disconnect between a buoyant economy and pessimistic households.
Consumer confidence is in the basement.
The gap was widening before Trump was elected. It explains in part the rise of MAGA and why Trump won in 2016 and again in 2024.
But Trump hasn’t done a thing to alter these trends.

California voters are receiving mailers promoting a 'poison-pill' ballot measure aimed at nullifying a proposed one-time 5% tax on billionaires' assets. The countermeasure, backed by Silicon Valley billionaires including Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt, would override the tax even if both pass in November. The clash reflects a broader surge in billionaire political spending, which reached $3 billion nationally in 2024 and is reshaping policy battles at state and federal levels
