They may have one more national election in them, but the electorate is becoming more progressive. Millennials will lead us in the right direction."

Despite Warning From Trump, US Does Not Veto UN Resolution Declaring Israeli Settlements Illegal
Ed Kilgore, New York Magazine
Kilgore writes: "Had it occurred before November 8, today's U.S. abstention on an otherwise unanimous U.N. Security Council resolution declaring Israeli settlement activity on the occupied West Bank illegal would have been an eye-raising but predictable expression of the Obama administration's frustration with an Israeli government that seems to be inching toward a formal abandonment of a two-state solution to the country's relations with Palestinians.

Alaskans' Cost of Staying Warm: A Thick Coat of Dirty Air
Kirk Johnson, The New York Times
Johnson writes: "Winter has arrived here in a town where St. Nicholas Drive intersects North Santa Claus Lane, and the streetlight poles are painted to look like candy canes. That means wood-fired stoves, interludes of cough-inducing smoke and vehement arguments about who is to blame. It is the season of light, and also the season of soot."
