Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I know there doesn't seem like there's a lot to be thankful for this year and that can be hard. Keep looking for the small things because they will help through the big things.

Nytimes has me unimpressed with the titles of articles lately. "Did women ruin the workplace" and "Are schools a problem". These sound more like tabloids from the 50's

I want to be surprised but I'm not. When we talk about genocide or the murder of journalists the US needs to look at themselves first. We are complicit

Went to Walmart today and saw canned meats in the shelf. While, tuna and corned beef might be the norm, canned roasted meats are new. There is literally ground beef! And that more than anything is telling of the depression we are headed into.

While we are talking about Mamdani's win, 86 Dems voted to condemn socialism. Let's not let them forget it. I still want to vote blue but I want blue to stand for the things I stand for

All the pictures coming out of the Whitehouse with Mamdani all I can't think about is the smiles. Mamdani is known for his big smile and yet so tame during these photos and I literally thought the Trump looking at Mamdani photo was AI because I've never seen a bigger smile

I hope she follows through. I wonder if this is to prepare for a run for Senate or president. Pretty shocking as she was gaining a lot of support. But I guess the threats she was getting were too much??? Interested to see how this plays out

The jobs that the Dept of Ed said aren't professional jobs are jobs predominantly held by women and all mandatory reporters of child abuse. Let that sink in. Oh yeah the secretary of education was part of a human trafficking scheme... probably unrelated

Boycotting Amazon, Target, and Home Depot through Dec.2. targeted boycotting works especially on their most profitable days of the year

How do you accidentally invade a country?? Being reported as a national embarrassment for the US. Honestly this whole year has been a.national embarrassment. Just one more item on the list

Don't move on from the Epstein files. Make sure they are released. Go through the information. Don't just let it be one more item in the crazy that has been this year

Somehow pocket switched what system I was using for temperature that was a terrifying minute and a half

Feminism is still a thing because what should be an everyday achievement amongst women is still considered a threat

Glad to see that a judge is blocking the gerrymandering in TX not only because of it being politically motivated but also racially motivated.

The Trump plan that just went through the UN security council is not a win for Gaza or Palestine. The plan would further the genocide.

I hate that we live in a world where you have to choose what horror to put your energy into

I'm tired of the absolute misogyny around the Epstein files. Women have come forward for years telling of their abuse, but an email with a sexual act between two consenting male adults has the country in tizzy. I'm not saying I don't understand the fun of the spilt tea. But their are real victims

I was not prepared for this morning's memes

I wish I was surprised that this isn't being talked about in any of the news stories that I've read since the bill passed the Senate. I wonder where the conscience of the leadership of this country is, for claiming to be a Christian value nation it really doesn't seem like it

It's Dems who are getting these files released. Repubs have every reason to want to keep them hidden. Keep releasing the files

Dems have done nothing but cave this entire presidency. It's no wonder that people are moving away from wanting establishment Dems. You put us through the pain of 40 days only to get nothing in return. Absolute bullshit

Thank God the Supreme Court didn't overturn gay marriage.

My hot take is that Mike Johnson is negotiating with JD Vance not Trump not Dems because he knows when the files come out Vance is going to be poised to take over

Supreme Court rules that Trump can suspend SNAP benefits. There's only one group of people trying to starve Americans. They don't care about you. They only care about themselves

My favorite thing about the government lockdown is being reminded that most people are decent. A lot of local and franchised restaurants are letting kids eat for free or reduced pricing without an adult meal purchased. People are giving individually to food banks. Others are donating through a cause

So excited for a blue sweep. We needed this as a country for hope for the rest of us.

Don't forget to vote! Smaller elections have a bigger impact on your day to day!

Just finished watching @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social with @kamalaharris.com. Really enjoyed the interview. I particularly enjoyed when Harris got real about her feelings and was inclusive to the members of her party. What I would really like to see besides a book tour and the listening (1)

It's not a moral failure to be on SNAP. There is no morality to you receiving SNAP. It is a moral failure to take SNAP benefits away for your political whims

Don't worry about making it the best holiday season. In fact it might be better to tone it down a lot. Billionaires make a lot this time of year and us keeping low key is a good way to fight back

The recommendations for food budgeting is for the new poor. Those who have been poor for a long time already know. But it's news to a lot of people they are poor now.

Some people who are living in nice cars had jobs at the beginning of the year. Jobs and food are getting harder to come by. Stop judging people for needing help

It was never about the hostages. No aid coming in. No real ceasefire.

Spoke with an addict this week. We were discussing the different treatment types around the world and their effectiveness. They sneered at the plans. Why? Turns out they don't want help they don't want anyone to have it. This shocked me. If I don't want it you can't have it now the american way.

It's always yt males who are kids, or have a future, or didn't know any better. The girls of this world are women as soon as a man finds them sexy. The Black boys of this world are men as soon as white men find them threatening. The brown people of the world are terrorists the moment they are born.

No one makes good decisions when hate is the base of those decisions. The loneliness epidemic is a hate epidemic. Stop hating your neighbors and you might find some friends

CDC has been cleared out. And I just feel like everyday this country just gets sicker and poorer and more hateful. It hasn't even been a year

The only people who get free healthcare in this country are the people who say you can't have healthcare

Want to know something you can do this week? Shop and be in the neighborhoods that are being targeted. Get some food maybe some early holiday shopping etc. Spend money where people need it. Be a neighbor

Please be aware that Gaza isn't all of Palestine. Apartheid and violence is escalating in the West Bank.

I don't believe that this is peace keeping. It may start out that way but it won't end that way. I hope I'm wrong

Gesturing wildly at everything, while wondering if I missed something

This is not the first time Hamas has agreed to return the hostages. Each time Israel violates the peace agreement. I'm as hopeful about this as every other negotiation they've had

This is a perfect picture of what Christian nationalism has done to the church

Illinois speaking the truth and the power wants to quiet that truth

Trump looking to invoke the Insurrection Act in Chicago. Chicago please stay safe.

Federal workers not receiving back pay is just another way to crumble the infrastructure

I can be happy for billionaires getting married when all the other stuff is taken care of.

Autism used to be primarily a diagnosis for white straight males. Funding and accommodations were made for autistic people. That funding is now available to women, POC, and LGBTQ. Common story in the US. We can't let everyone have access to (education, healthcare, accommodation). White only
