Got a broken toaster, toy, gadget, or favorite shirt? Bring it to the Fix-It DC Clinic and learn how to repair it with help from experts. Save money, reduce waste, and learn something new.

Dolly Parton performing outdoors on stage, wearing a brown cowboy hat and a fringed brown suede jacket with fringe detailing. Her signature long, voluminous platinum-blonde hair cascades over her shoulders as she looks downward with a gentle, closed-eye smile, exuding warmth and emotion. There's autumn foliage and a rustic building visible in the softly lit background during golden hour.

"This Note from Alyssa Milano popped up in my feed this week, and damn does it ever ring true. Weโ€™re all trying to go about our regular livesโ€”working, taking care of our families, doing the holidays, and so on, which can be difficult enough on their ownโ€”and weโ€™re simultaneously having to deal with this gigantic ball of chaos and cruelty in the White House on a daily basis. Going through the motions of life like everything is normal, when it very clearly is not, is maddening. And we donโ€™t even get a break on Christmas.

The thing is, I think a lot of us feel this way. Weโ€™re exhausted. No matter what our politics are, we are not okay. Even with their guy in office, MAGA isnโ€™t okay either. Do they seem any happier to you? Any more well-adjusted? Any more kind and open? Not at all. Americans are dangerously divided. Thereโ€™s too much hate. Our body politic is broken. Donald Trump is a huge part of it, but itโ€™s beyond just him. Heโ€™s merely the ugly result of a country thatโ€™s fundamentally not okay.

A new year is coming. Another chance to somehow make us okay again. Letโ€™s make one resolution in 2026: we will be okay. And we will do everything we must do to get there."
