This post made me cry, @agmoore. But everything about togetherness and kindness makes me cry lately. I'm tired of outrage and anger. I want our country to heal and our people to come together.

I heard the most amazing program on This American Life yesterday. It was about a couple who had married a little later in life (second marriages for them both). She was a Democrat and he was a Republican. In the early days it didn't matter. But once Trumpism came on the scene, the divisions between them in what they believed and what kind of news they trusted came into focus. Their marriage began to suffer. Neither would listen to the other when it came to politics, freedoms, beliefs... etc.

They vowed to find a news source that was impartial and unbiased in its reporting. Seems impossible, right? Well, it turns out it's quite possible, and a guy by the name of Isaac Saul has achieved it. He created Tangle, a "non-partisan politics newsletter that gives you a 360-degree view on the news. No spin. No clickbait. Opinions from the left, right, and center so you can decide." I was amazed to hear about this incredible project. The readership is divided in thirds — left, right, and independent.

The couple mended their relationship. The husband, who was absolutely certain the 2020 election was stolen, read the deep-dive into the facts that Tangle provided and came to the conclusion that it was not. Biden legitimately won the election. Now, whenever there is an incendiary topic like that, they look for true story on Tangle.

Well, your story is about Halloween! But I love how it serves as a symbol of how people can come together for a fun and spooky and genuinely non-divisive celebration, and just enjoy being out and about, and being neighbors.
