@ggreenwald What's the context here? What election is Vance talking about?

@CapitalistSmile @DrEenfeldt @IanStockport Because it corn syrup technically meets the religious definition of a leavened grain?

@sirDukeDevin And what if we do care?

[Jane Shevtsov @jaiagreen]

@Out5p0ken No reason we can't be unhappy about both.

[Jane Shevtsov @jaiagreen]

@AndrewYang It's totally understandable, but inappropriate precisely for that reason.

[Jane Shevtsov @jaiagreen]

@MoniqueGaige @RickyDoggin Yeah, they should provide a lot more. Funding education locally is a recipe for major inequalities.

@fritzdrybeam @STAGEDOC @kimleadbeater That's always the default. It's not a choice unless an alternative is available.

This time of year, I am always reminded of the Thanksgiving scene painted by one of my favorite artists, Norman Rockwell. Many people don’t know this, but Rockwell actually lived for a time in Arlington, Vermont, and painted some of his most well-known pieces there, including his “Four Freedoms.” He even used many of his Vermont neighbors as models and inspiration in his work.

Rockwell’s “Four Freedoms” series was published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1943. They were paintings that reflected the vision that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt articulated in his 1941 State of the Union speech: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear.

In that speech Roosevelt stated:

“In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.

“The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.

“The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.

“The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world.

“The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.

“That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.”

In my view, Roosevelt’s vision from 1941 remains relevant today.

On behalf of Jane, my children, and my grandkids, let me take this opportunity to wish everybody a very happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday season.

@WW3finalboss @NewsWire_US Then why help him do it?

[Jane Shevtsov @jaiagreen]

@GeorgeMonbiot I'm disappointed. I didn't expect you of all people to flee to a bubble.

[Jane Shevtsov @jaiagreen]

@MichaelEMann @bluesky Aren't bubbles the problem, not the solution?

[Jane Shevtsov @jaiagreen]

@gtwhitesides Congratulations, George!

When Did Liberals Become So Comfortable With War? https://t.co/atktayOzm7 When did such obvious common sense become so at odds with the vast bulk of what is in the @nytimes ?

@nikicaga And she hasn't even lost yet!

[Jane Shevtsov @jaiagreen]

@nikicaga When a race is so close that a candidate who got 8600 votes can swing it, the right question to ask is why the race was so close.

[Jane Shevtsov @jaiagreen]

@gtwhitesides Fingers crossed for you, George!
