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.

Those of us who’ve had to negotiate with/navigate narcissists recognize this behavior. Negotiating against yourself - compromising huge parts of yourself for the hope of a sliver in return.
Dems should engage a team of therapists and psychologists to help them appreciate what they’re up against.

Shaheen: We have a guaranteed vote by a guaranteed date…

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Your MAGA uncle: this weekend is a terrorist anti-America event with paid protestors.
You: Here's dozens of sources that show that's not the case. Also, I'm protesting, and not getting paid, and I'm out there because I love our country.
MAGA uncle: well, I saw it on Facebook, so it must be true.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.
This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

The suppression of free speech we’re seeing around the country is terrifying.
In Tennessee, we’re no stranger to these tactics — the GOP has been tamping down on free speech for years in our state. A thread 🧵
