A wise man once said that a thankful heart is the parent of all virtues. This Thanksgiving let's give thanks for all we have been blessed with, as we share our bounty with kindness and compassion for those less fortunate this holiday season.

We absolutely owe these journalists and reporters our gratitude for pushing back and checking 🍊💩
Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.
We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

🧵 great thread by Christopher Webb that I think will resonate with many of us.
Be more than thankful, be grateful.
I used to live in that space. The space where I could stop and be grateful. Not for possessions, but for my life, my wife, my kids, my family, my dear friends.
“Life is good.”
That was my silent mantra. And it was real. I carried it with me.

Holy shit! Trump has no decency or compassion.
A reporter asked if he planned to attend the funeral of Sarah Beckstrom, the National Guard member who just died.
Instead of offering condolences, he said he would “consider it” and pivoted to bragging about his margin of victory in West Virginia.

It’s awful to hear that National Guard troops were shot after they were needlessly-and possibly illegally-deployed to Washington DC
Tomorrow many of us will sit down with our families for Thanksgiving-while they will likely be in hospital beds
So consider taking just one moment to think of them

My prayers are with the National Guard members injured in today’s senseless shooting. Grateful for the officers and first responders who moved quickly. There is no place for this kind of violence in our country.

Over 200 men were sent by Kristi Noem-in violation of a court order-to the CECOT prison for terrorists
She claimed they were criminals. In reality, most had no criminal records, and many had valid claims for asylum
They were tortured. Beaten. Sexually abused. Even shot.

This is what the Trump economy has done to our Michigan farmers – absolutely nothing.
Tariffs.
Attacks on their immigrant labor.
Fueling climate change that endangers crops and yields.
What's next? Bankruptcy and land sales to corporate farms at pennies on the dollar?
Seems to be the Trump plan.

I've led negotiations with Russia, and nothing I'm hearing shows the Russians are serious about ending the war.
But the U.S. side must articulate our positions and advance our interests - and that's not happening.
Peace at any price isn't peace. It's appeasement.
