Aryna is from Belarus who has openly opposed the war since 2023, even though it could be dangerous for her family and friends at home. She’s not responsible for where she happened to be born. And Trump is a dangerous lunatic currently endangering lives here & abroad—shall we blame Coco for him? Nah

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
In this time of growing Christian Nationalism, it is important to remember the *real* history of Thanksgiving. The Puritans didn't just come to the New World to flee persecution, they came here so they could be the ones doing the persecution.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, and education instead of lining the pockets of the military industrial complex?
In the 20 years following 9/11, the U.S. spent over $21 trillion on militarization.
Yesterday, the House passed an NDAA bringing us closer to a $1 trillion Pentagon budget.
For too long, hawks have used the tragedy of 9/11 to supercharge militarism at the cost of our needs and safety.
Enough.

Thousands of undocumented immigrant workers helped rebuild New York City in the wake of 9/11.
24 years later, they're at risk of deportation as they still struggle with chronic health issues.

They Helped Rebuild After 9/11. Now They Live in Fear of Deportation.
Nearly 25 years after clearing rubble at ground zero, undocumented workers could gain a pathway to citizenship with a bill from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being reintroduced today.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans.
And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich.
Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

A hallmark of MAGA isn't just lying, but an endless stream of obvious lies.
It's not patently absurd to suggest a negotiated path to peace; plenty of conflicts ended that way. But WW2 ended with unconditional surrenders by Germany and Japan! This is a lazy lie for the sake of lying.
