Trump pardoned Honduran ex-president Juan Orlando Hernández - convicted of smuggling 400+ tons of cocaine into the US - to prop up political ally Tito Asfura in Sunday’s election. It’s a blatant quid pro quo: free the narco-state boss and lock in a pro-Trump regime in Honduras.

Maybe we should not get distracted by Rump's usual name calling and outrageous spewing.
If we tune that out and focus on actual actions and plans we may be better prepared to resist.

Each year I am reminded that the fourth Thursday in November is the observance of a National Day of Mourning for indigenous Americans. It's an opportunity to reflect on Native American heritage and the role Thanksgiving played in the lives of their ancestors, my children's ancestors. #gratitude
