Let's be very clear: Strong men - men who are truly role models - don't need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful. People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.

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.

2025 has been a challenging year.
Share something good you're Thankful for / that brought you Joy/Happiness during this dark year.
I'll go first —
Someone made me feel not so alone
& made me laugh. ⭐️ This is a big deal.

Poem for Thanksgiving 🍂
When Giving Is All We Have

—We give because someone gave to us.
We give because nobody gave to us.
We give because giving has changed us.
We give because giving could have changed us.

Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

Fleetwood Mac 's "Silver Springs" is a trending sound right now at least on Insta, and people are using it for ... their wedding videos and getting brunch with friends.
they hear "you won't forget me" and go "awww 🥹"
🫠 You don't even need to know the background, just actually listen to the song
