Today at the Editor’s glance: Palm Coast announced that for both Christmas and New Year’s, Waste Pro’s garbage pick-up service will not be affected. Trash and recycling will be picked up according to the normal pick-up schedule. Also, save the date for the Palm Coast holiday tradition that preserves the environment and beautifies our city. The 15th Annual Christmas Tree Recycling Event will be held January 8 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Palm Coast Fuel Depot located at 22 Utility Drive. Recycle your Christmas tree in exchange for a free three-gallon evergreen tree – while supplies last.

“There is a homegrown ideology of reaction in the United States, inextricably tied to our system of slavery. And while that ideology no longer carries the explicit racism of the past, the basic framework remains: fear of rival political majorities; of demographic ‘replacement’; of a government that threatens privilege and hierarchy.”
–“Politics,” by Jamelle Bouie, in Nikole Hannah-Jones et. al., The 1619 Project (2021).
