IB News: Tuesday, 12/23: Happy Holidays!!

Good morning! I don’t know what I was thinking-there IS snow in the forecast, starting tonight! We should have a beautiful and magical white Christmas this year!

Even though we are taking a small break, we want to share with you the CBS 60 Minutes story that was to have aired this past Sunday night. The Trump-friendly CBS News editor-in-chief axed this story that was about the administration sending Venezuelans to the maximum security prison in El Salvador. It was not broadcast in our country, but was available in Canada and is now available on the Internet Archives site here.

This is a hectic time of year for many of us, so please take some time for yourself and do something just for you!

Turn off the tv and the radio, leave the social media unread, and ignore the news alerts.
Take a walk outside, read that book that’s been waiting for you, spend some quality time with your dog or cat, or just sit and enjoy some quiet time.

We will be here with more news and actions in a few days.
