Some sober words about the thinking behind the creation of Thanksgiving, which was to suppress the consolidation of oligarchies. It was a rebuke of the influential slave-holding class... 150 years on, oligarchs threaten the nation again.

Thanksgiving is the quintessential American holiday…but not for the reasons we generally remember.

Turns out No Kings Paris, announced for the Place de la Bastille, happened instead at Les Halles. So I missed it twice. I went to the wrong place, but it didn't happen at the announced site either. Protests will not stop the Trump regime. They are a small, still inadequate action to turn the tide.

We did not find No Kings on the Place de la République. Other protests were ongoing, including a huge rally for trans rights. The queens usurped No King.

I am off to the No Kings rally on the Place de la République in Paris. It will take millions standing up to reverse the damage of Trump and his cadre of sycophants. A new and better republic will arise from the ashes, but only if we make it happen.

It is a fact that Charlie Kirk was an islamophobic, mysogynist, homophobic, racist, "white christian" nationalist. It is a fact that the Republicans and the Trump administration embrace his values. It is not a crime to state these facts.

This is what America has become under Trump and his accomplices. A friend told me that an artist he knows flew to the US with a valid visa, a letter of invitation from an artist residency, and a generous stipend to cover her costs. She was deported back to Brazil three hours after her arrival.

Langston Hughes wrote the following poem in 1935. Citizens of the United States made great progress toward the realization of these ideals, until now. Ninety years have passed since Hughes wrote this poem/manifesto, and now we see the progress made rapidly slipping away.

My nation of birth, the USA, is a humiliation, and I don't know if or when the country can recover and seek to deliver on its nobler aspirations. In the meantime, wherever you are, there is work to do to recover sanity in politics and culture.

Diversity and inclusion are the path toward a healthy culture. May the rot at the center of American, Israeli and other autocratic nations' politics become the compost for a reinvigorated world where we strive for justice and opportunity for all human beings.
