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.

In plain terms, the United States aligned itself with Russia against Ukraine and NATO. By transmitting Moscow’s surrender terms unedited and pressuring Kyiv to accept them, the Trump Regime effectively sided with Russia in the war and attempted to force Ukraine’s capitulation. It is betrayal.
Russia drafted a 28 point surrender plan, handed it to the Trump team, and the regime delivered it to Kyiv unedited, demanding Zelensky sign it by Thanksgiving or lose all US support. Trump and Vance then promoted the plan exactly as Russia wrote it, verbatim, on TV, online, and in person.

🇨🇦 DOUG FORD'S POLITICAL PROBLEM HAS A NAME: DAVID PICCINI 🇨🇦
The Labour Minister is sinking into the muck of a "slush fund" scandal designed to grease the wheels of the PC re-election machine.
But don't expect the Premier to cut him loose just yet.

Cannot be said loudly or often enough: the bill House Rs are considering passing tomorrow would rip health insurance and food assistance from millions, leaving the poorest households worse off - to partially pay for tax cuts that most help the richest - while increasing the deficit by trillions.

Of all the factors that have led us to the brink of fascism, newslessness is the most obvious. The less news you got, the more you voted for Trump. And creating an America where getting news is mostly a burden or, at worst, a path to indoctrination has been the GOP's most concrete victory.

Teach your children to appreciate and respect nature. Let them walk barefoot on the earth, listen to the whisper of the trees and gaze at the stars in wonder. Encourage them to see the magic of a flower in bloom, the wisdom in the changing seasons and the harmony in the flight of birds.
