Is this how you want to turn people into furry lovers? Because this is how you make people start looking into if they are into furries.

We had to cut two songs to 3 seconds long to not-

A) Have everyone in the audience get pregnant

B) Have all the children ask their family what “banging on the bathroom floor” meant

Run, Dora. A seemingly immigrant doing educational things for others? *You in danger girl GIF*

Joking aside: Macy’s did a CHOICE with programming the top hour of the parade loading it with POC and immigrants. ❤️

Hey ~ Today (or anyday), why not watch some Native American & #Indigenous made short films from around the world?

Bonus: the hosts Ariel Tweto (Inupiaq) & Bird Runningwater @birdrunningh2o.bsky.social (Northern Cheyenne/Mescalero Apache) are adorable as can be! 🎬

Nov 27th 1975 - #Rocky takes Adrian on their first date.

📽️📅 Rocky (1976)
2 Screenshots from the movie "Rocky" (1976): First, a man in a leather jacket and hat is talking to another man through a metal fence at an ice rink, with the subtitles reading "- Eight bucks? - Come on. It's Thanksgiving." Second, two people are walking together on an empty indoor ice rink, with a mural of a winter landscape on the wall, and overhead lights illuminating the space.

Tradition: I make buttermilk biscuits and watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Then we watch the Dog Show.

Happy Thanksgiving
A four-panel meme from the animated show King of the Hill. In the first panel, John Redcorn, an indigenous man, responds “Yes?” while looking at a blond boy Bobby Hill in a classroom. In the second panel, Bobby looks confused and asks, “Are you sure it’s the white man who did all that stuff?” The third panel shows Bobby gesturing toward himself and saying, “Because I come from white people,” and the fourth panel continues with him saying, “and this is the first I’m hearing of it.”

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
brandonfriedman.bsky.social Brandon Friedman @brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 2d
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.
USCIS Refugee Memo – Summary of Key Provisions Effective immediately, USCIS is ordering: ● A total freeze on all pending Form I-485 applications filed by refugees admitted from Jan 20, 2021 – Feb 20, 2025 ● A mandatory re-interview of all principal refugees admitted during that period ● A review and potential re-interview of derivative refugees, including spouses, children, and follow-to-join beneficiaries ● A reassessment of whether each refugee met the definition at the time of admission Authority being invoked: ● INA § 101(a)(42) (refugee definition) ● INA § 207 and § 209 (termination and adjustment authority) ● USCIS asserts power to undo past refugee admissions Consequences: ● USCIS may terminate refugee status for principals and all derivatives ● USCIS may deny green cards, even for those who already have them ● There is no appeal of a denied refugee-based I-485; the only option is to contest removal in immigration court ● Refugees placed in removal proceedings may renew their I-485 claim before an immigration judge Additional conditions: ● USCIS has 90 days to create the priority list for who will be re-interviewed ● The freeze on I-485s remains until lifted in a future memo ● Only the USCIS Director or Deputy Director may authorize exceptions ● USCIS is explicitly framing this as correcting “expediency,” “quantity over quality,” and “vulnerabilities” in Biden-era adjudications ● The memo states USCIS will revisit all inadmissibility grounds, including those previously waived ● The memo highlights a review of the persecutor bar ● It asserts a need to ensure refugees “pose no threat to national security or public safety”

Our 250 years of preserving liberty isn’t some nice holiday story that we recall dimly through the mists of time. It’s real. It can reassure and educate and inspire us. It’s something from which to derive hope and for which to give thanks. lnk.thebulwark.com/3Krlaaz
