Even if you live far from your childhood home, wrestling a tree back through crowded city streets can bring as much joy as everWhen I was a kid, my favourite part of December was going to get a Christmas tree. Cleveland was always snowy by then, and so we usually had to scrape the ice off the car before going to a tree lot where I would wander through rows of trees - Douglas firs, balsam firs, Virginia pines, blue spruce. After a short family conference in the cold (I pushed for the tallest one possible, my mom cared about that classic Christmas tree smell" and my dad, in a way that I'm sure every dad will nod along with in agreement, kept me realistic about the price), we would agree on a tree, strap it to the roof of the car and go home to string up lights and ornaments.We would leave the tree up until early January, then when the branches were sagging and dry, we would paint their ends with peanut butter and seeds, and lay the tree out in the backyard to act as a giant bird feeder (and then, eventually, compost it).Alexander Hurst is a Guardian Europe columnist Continue reading...

The Catholic church made my young queer life hell. Now they accept and damn my union in one breathOn the day I celebrated the first anniversary of my wedding, Pope Francis announced his conditional approval" for Catholic priests to bless same-sex marriages - under certain circumstances - although he was keen to add that these blessings should not be seen as validation of same-sex relationships. It will be possible to bless same-sex couples but without any type of ritualisation or offering the impression of a marriage," the Church announced in a report published on Vatican News, adding that the blessing does not signify approval of the union". In the eyes of the Catholic church, it seems, queer love is still a sin.Well, you can stick your blessing, Pope Francis. It's a fig leaf, a PR exercise, a means of laundering your prejudice to make it seem like a step towards acceptance.Matt Cain is a writer who was formerly editor-in-chief of Attitude and culture editor of Channel 4 News.

Many Black Americans feel Democrats take their vote for granted, but Biden's team has a strategy to address concernsEntering the 2024 campaign season, Joe Biden faces a slew of challenges, including economic uncertainties, foreign policy tensions and healthcare reform. Most notable, however, comes from the critical engine that delivered 2020 key victories in swing states: the African American voting bloc.Recent polls show a historic low of 37% in Biden's overall approval ratings, while others highlight underlying factors, such as the alarming decline in Black voter support, from 86% in January 2021 to 60% now, the lowest of his presidency.

That, supporters said, could bring down the cost of healthcare as consumers" shop around. Continue reading...

Attempt to assassinate Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, an American Sikh, was foiled by undercover law enforcement agentsAn American Sikh who was the target of an alleged assassination plot arranged by an Indian government official has said he is still getting hundreds of threats a day, even as India has claimed it is investigating the murder-for-hire conspiracy.Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a New York-based lawyer, said the threats on social media and other forums have continued unabated since the Department of Justice alleged that an unnamed Indian government official with ties to intelligence - known as CC-1 in a US indictment - arranged to kill the Sikh activist on US soil. CC-1 also appears to have played a role in the murder of another activist, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, in Canada last June. Continue reading...

Biden has a chance to show that the world's biggest exporter of oil and gas is actually going to change its ways. It's not clear if he'll take itMore than 200 nations pledged last week in Dubai that they would be transitioning away from from fossil fuels". Some cheered and some scoffed; we'll soon know if the world's biggest producer of oil and gas - the United States - meant what it signed, or if it was just more (literal) hot air.That's because the US Department of Energy (DoE) must decide whether to stop rubber-stamping the single biggest fossil-fuel expansion on earth, the buildout of natural gas exports from the Gulf of Mexico. So far they have granted every export license anyone has requested, and as a result the US has become the biggest gas exporter on planet earth. If they keep it up, the veteran energy analyst Jeremy Symons says that before long US liquefied natural gas exports will produce more greenhouse gases than everything that happens on the continent of Europe.Roishetta Ozane is the founder of the Vessel Project, a Louisiana environmental justice groupBill McKibben is the founder of Third Act, which organizes people over 60 for action on climate and democracy Continue reading...

State party chair Yolanda Bejarano says Biden's agenda of job creation and lowering family's costs is a winner and recent polling does not capture where voters will be come election dayFew states will have more influence over the country's political future than Arizona. Once a ruby-red Republican stronghold, it is now a south-western battleground and the stakes couldn't be higher for Arizonans - or Americans.In 2020, Joe Biden carried Arizona by just over 10,000 votes, becoming the first Democratic presidential candidate to win the state in nearly a quarter-century. Two years later, Democrats won statewide races for governor, secretary of state and attorney general and re-elected the Democratic senator Mark Kelly to a full six-year term. Continue reading...

The defending NFC champions looked on course for a return trip to the Super Bowl after a 10-1 start. But a three-game slide has dropped them from the ranks of serious contendersSo much of the December NFL narrative is devoted to teams scrambling to qualify for the playoffs, but the end of the regular season is also a terrific chance for the diminishing handful of Super Bowl contenders to sharpen their tools, to separate themselves from the pack.One of those contenders, the Philadelphia Eagles, had lost their previous two games but could have scored a get-right victory Monday in Seattle against the Seahawks. All they needed to do was prevent Seattle, down by four points, from driving 92 yards in less than two minutes. Continue reading...

The Hungarian leader wants to deprive Kyiv of funding and to halt expansion plans, but officials are already mapping out a workaroundThe European Union is never quite as bad or quite as good as it looks. Last week's summit on expansion was an example of the 27-nation union at its best - and its worst. A formula was found to enable agreement to open membership negotiations with Ukraine as it struggles to prevent Russia seizing more of its territory.That agreement, which Hungary's prime minister, Viktor Orban, had vowed to block, produced triumphant headlines that made the union look fleetingly as if it were finally grasping its historic responsibility to extend the European area of freedom and prosperity right up to Russia's borders.Paul Taylor is a senior fellow of the Friends of Europe thinktank Continue reading...

Many care homes are understaffed, ignored alarms, skipped bed checks or otherwise neglected safety proceduresDozens of elderly people have died across the US in the last five years after walking away unchecked from assisted-living or supposedly secure dementia or memory care facilities, a national study has found, highlighting a lack of effective oversight in a burgeoning industry.Most of about 100 deaths since 2018, reported Monday by the Washington Post, were weather-related, involving exposure to extreme heat or cold.

From a goalless draw at Anfield to Mudryk's miss, we hand out honors (and dishonors) from the Premier League weekendChristmas is upon us. The goose is getting fat. The latest round of Premier League fixtures was a testament to competence. Everything (Manchester City apart) went as conventional wisdom said it should based on form and results. There was no real VAR controversy of note. Mikel Arteta was booked on the touchline. What next, snow on Christmas Day?The obvious exception was the abandonment of Bournemouth versus Luton Town, after Luton captain Tom Lockyer suffered a cardiac arrest. Lockyer remains in hospital at the time of writing. Continue reading...

The irony of Masha Gessen almost not being awarded the prize because of their writings on Gaza is almost too thick too cutThis past weekend the prominent Russian-American journalist and writer Masha Gessen was awarded the prestigious Hannah Arendt prize for political thought under police protection in Germany. But the event, which was to be a grand ceremony hosted by the Heinrich Boll Foundation in the city hall of Bremen in north-west Germany, almost did not happen at all after Gessen published an essay in the New Yorker comparing Gaza before 7 October to the Jewish ghettoes of Nazi-occupied Europe.The Foundation, which is affiliated with the German Green party, founded the prize not to honor Arendt but to honor individuals who identify critical and unseen aspects of current political events and who are not afraid to enter the public realm by representing their opinion in controversial political discussions", withdrew its support, causing the city of Bremen to withdraw its support, leading to an initial cancellation of the event altogether. The Foundation said Gessen's comparison was unacceptable", but has since backtracked and has now said that they stand behind the award. Continue reading...

Jurgen Klopp's side are nowhere near the team that won the title in 2019-20We want our title-challengers to be fallible. We don't want a sense of a procession; we want each point to feel hard-earned. We want a sense of jeopardy about the race for the Premier League. Just perhaps not quite that fallible, not quite that hard-earned. Jeopardy, it tuns out, can be pretty dull.There were three thoughts to emerge from Sunday's goalless 0-0 draw between Liverpool and Manchester United. The first was that United really are terrible at the moment, but at least they've acknowledged that. There was, paradoxically, something to be admired about the pragmatism of their approach, the way they approached the game almost like a relegation-threatened side. This wasn't like 2017-18 when Jose Mourinho took United to Anfield, showed almost no ambition, drew 0-0 and seemed weirdly confused by the criticism that followed. Liverpool then were vulnerable having won one of their previous eight games; here Erik ten Hag was facing a side that had won each of its previous seven home league games this season.

Following a judge's ruling in favour of Prince Harry, the former Daily Mirror editor's confected outrage is starting to look a little desperateSo how much, exactly, did Piers Morgan know about phone hacking when he was editor of the Daily Mirror? It depends when you ask him. And since he edited the newspaper for nine years when hacking was at its zenith, and since other people similarly accused have spent time in prison, this seems important for reasons that do not depend on your feelings about Prince Harry.On Friday, for example, Morgan had a simple line for reporters gathered outside his house. Perhaps his thinking had been clarified by the unfortunate news that a judge ruling on claims from Harry and others had found that there had been extensive hacking going on at the Daily Mirror, and that there was no doubt Morgan knew about it. Similar evidence has been presented to the Leveson inquiry and in previous litigation, but never as extensively or with such a powerful endorsement from a judge as this. But it's all nonsense, Morgan sputtered, who would do such a thing? I've never hacked a phone, or told anybody else to hack a phone," he said. Simple.Archie Bland is the editor of the Guardian's First Edition newsletter, and writes on media, culture and technology Continue reading...

Four months after the deadliest US wildfire in modern history, thousands of people have yet to find stable housingWhen Charles Nahale checked into a one-bedroom time-share condo in Kapalua Bay, a tourist mainstay on Maui's north-west coast, in mid-October, front desk staff told him he would only be staying for 12 days. Nahale, a Native Hawaiian musician who had lost his west Maui home in the ferocious wildfire of 8 August, wasn't surprised by the blunt notice: he'd been bouncing from hotel to hotel, often at a moment's notice, under a sheltering program run by the Red Cross and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.After the move, Nahale turned his pickup truck into a storage unit - part closet and part pantry - filled with boxes of clothes and nonperishable food. He brought only toiletries and essentials into the hotel suite. When he was hungry, he went to the truck to grab a can of tuna. A ukulele, a guitar and a set of work clothes were the only possession he was able to save from the fire. I live a nomadic life," said Nahale, who's in his 60s. What's the point of unpacking if I'm moving again after 12 days?" Continue reading...

The idea that this reckless strategy would strike only one side, as if Israelis and Palestinians were not joined at the heart of this mess, is a lie

Rochester, Albany and other cities offer refuge from anti-trans laws in other states and ballooning costs in big citiesWhen Travis Covitz arrived in Rochester, in upstate New York, in 2022, he moved into an apartment owned by gay landlords on a major thoroughfare where shop windows displayed LGBTQ+ safe-space stickers.Covitz, a 23-year-old transgender man, ended up in Rochester somewhat by accident for a medical research job after graduating from Cornell University, a two-hour drive south in the progressive college town of Ithaca. This is giving me similar vibes," he thought upon his arrival in Rochester. He felt safe walking through the city dressed in drag, to the gay club where he eventually took a second job as a barback.

Vote comes as Washington shows growing impatience with Israel. Plus, Serbian populists win election amid allegations of voting irregularities

Some African American men in the key swing state are feeling neglected and are critical of the president's support for Israel but others warn not to confuse enthusiasm with electabilityMorehouse College, a 156-year-old Black men's liberal arts college in Atlanta, Georgia, has produced graduates such as Martin Luther King and Spike Lee. It has been an essential campaign stop for Democratic politicians such as Barack Obama, John Lewis and, last September, Kamala Harris.But as another presidential election looms, Joe Biden can take nothing for granted here. A resounding no," was 28-year-old Ade Abney's verdict on whether the US president has delivered on his promises to Black voters. I voted for Biden in 2020 but next year I don't know who I'm going to vote for. It probably will not be him." Continue reading...

I join you in the prayer to guide those regarding your appeal,' Gregory Aymond of New Orleans wrote to priest given life sentenceAs he reached the end of his 41-year life, Kevin Portier had endured child rape at the hands of a southern Louisiana Catholic priest for whom he had served as an altar boy; a highly publicized trial that sent the clergyman to prison for the rest of his days; and the trauma associated with those experiences.But one of Portier's harshest ordeals came within his final two years alive. Representatives of the church that he had been raised to believe in approached him at his home, at his job and at a relative's funeral to ask him to lend his support to efforts to secure an early release for his rapist, Robert Melancon.

If Bernardo Arevalo is blocked from governing or ousted, it will be an ominous sign in a region where democracy is in perilIn August, I packed into Guatemala City's Constitution Plaza alongside thousands of others to watch Bernardo Arevalo, a bookish anti-corruption reformer, give his closing presidential campaign speech. There was something surreal about seeing Arevalo take the stage and make earnest appeals about curbing corruption and governing for the majority as the crowd roared applause.The Guatemalans I have met are usually cynical about politics and politicians - for good reason. After years of rule by a bloody anti-communist military dictatorship, Guatemala became a democracy in 1985. But corrupt political machines, self-serving business elites and criminal mafias loomed large over every election afterwards.Will Freeman is a fellow for Latin America studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and holds a doctorate in politics from Princeton University Continue reading...

Once, during a telephone appointment, he asked me if I was a smoker. No," I replied, playfully. But maybe next year will be more eventful."

The Bills put together perhaps the most impressive win any team has produced all season: a 31-10 demolition of the Cowboys. Can they ride the momentum into a January run?One of the most vexing questions of this NFL season has been: What is the problem with the Buffalo Bills?"Maybe there isn't one. The Bills, who started sluggishly and couldn't quite put it all together for much of the early season, have rounded into form of late. And on Sunday, they put together perhaps the most impressive win any team has produced all season: a 31-10 demolition of the Dallas Cowboys, who entered with a 10-3 record and had been humbling the competition week after week with their high-flying quarterback-and-receiver duo of Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. But when the Cowboys got to western New York, the Bills greeted them rudely: Prescott was under duress all afternoon, Lamb had no separation from the Bills' defenders, and the Buffalo defense was suffocating against an offense that had looked impossible to stop. Dallas finished with 10 points, but all of them came in garbage time. For Buffalo, it was as good as a shutout. Continue reading...
