Thanksgiving is a holiday when we ignore racism & genocide eat lots of unhealthy food.
It’s like the history of America in a day.

Reading the pardon coverage...I don't think the significance of the Gaetz/Patel/Bondi nominations has sunk in. People still aren't getting what a politicized DOJ and FBI, with the power to arrest/bug/harass anyone for any reason, would be able to do.

This Thanksgiving, Biden Should Grant Clemency to Leonard Peltier
By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan
Amnesty International has campaigned for Peltier’s release for decades. The group recently sent a letter to President Biden, reiterating their demand.

The big story here seems to be that NYT set out on a fishing expedition to find Dems willing to suggest that trans people cost them the election. NYT's anti-trans bias is undefeated.
My first for Rolling Stone: Did the NYT create the whole “Dems in disarray over trans rights” thing?
Rep. Seth Moulton says they started it.
I interviewed the Dem congressman who unintentionally sparked a narrative that trans rights hurt Dems in the election.

Democratic Lawmaker Clarifies He's Not 'Suddenly Anti-Trans'
The Democrat argues the media has been unfair, but says Dems must “engage in the debate” over trans policies — or Republicans will fill the vacuum.

heartwarming story for the holidays ❤️🔥
“…the neo-Nazis told police they had never experienced a response like the one they received in Columbus. They said people pulled guns on them and threw cans and vegetables as they marched... One of the officers noted the men were ‘covered in’ pepper spray.”

Body cam footage: Neo-Nazis who marched in Short North claimed to be victims of violence

Drake just signed a legal document acknowledging "Not Like Us" did him great harm.
Is this not the biggest defeat in hip-hop history?

“whoever goes viral holds power, whatever goes viral is true” does not seem like a SUSTAINABLE principle for governing a country but it is increasingly the principle governing ours

I think it’s worth considering that Covid played a more **direct** role in this election than we have yet grappled with.
I don’t mean lockdowns, or Covid policy choices, or Covid-related economic shocks.
I mean the literal virus impacting literally over a hundred million US voters…
