IN THE NEWS: New York City’s incoming mayor makes headlines by appointing a transgender rabbi to his transition team’s health committee, sparking debate on social media about representation in politics. Portland’s annual tree lighting event drew outrage after organizers avoided calling it a “Christmas tree” and featured political activism and chants, fueling criticism over the city’s handling of holiday traditions. In Manhattan, accused assassin Luigi Mangione appeared in court for a critical pretrial hearing to a crowd of vocal supporters and heightened media attention. Finally, Paramore’s Hayley Williams takes a public stand, declaring that racist and anti-trans fans are not welcome at her shows.
