Anyway, if you want to help families be able to afford to eat this holiday season and beyond, consider making a regular cash donation to your local food bank.
And if you’re in Chicago, bring by your spare winter gear, books, toiletries, and supplies! We could use them in our mutual aid shelves.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Trump’s insults to journalists, although abhorrent, are now expected features of his childish responses to criticism.
What we really need to pay attention to are his threats to the profits of media corporations.
This is where the real danger lies. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-real-d...

The real danger to press freedom has nothing to do with Trump’s personal insults
And everything to do with his threats to corporate media’s profits.

When a President calls for the death of lawmakers protecting the oath military members take to the Constitution (NOT the President), you are watching a full-blown Constitutional Crisis. This is the ultimate test of our democracy. We cannot look away.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.
Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.
She was later released with NO CHARGE.
A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.
Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.
