@realDonaldTrump Prosperity is not about being rich. It's about being free. Free of fear. Free of want. Free of despair. Free of lonliness. Free of idleness.

[New York Humanist @NYHumanist]

@ricedaddy7 One would think so. But American consumers won't pony up $20+ to see a movie where humanity hopelessly loses. They get enough of that in real life. Movies are fundamentally an escapism, after all. 🤔

As New Yorkers gather with family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving, Mother Nature will be sending extremely cold temperatures to join us this year as well. Make sure to take precautions for the cold weather when going outside in the coming days.

The turkey wasn’t the only creature Trump let completely off the hook this week. The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia also got a reprieve, despite overwhelming evidence of his own “fowl” play.

[Sally Yates @SallyQYates]

In a single day, POTUS turns a blind eye to the barbaric murder of journalist and we learn that he tried to order DOJ to go after his political adversaries. Is there no depth to which he will not sink? We can’t let him drag America down with him.

Glad to hear a suspect has been apprehended. We have zero tolerance for hate in this state. https://t.co/leFNYlyNTT

Sometimes I feel like I just need a "hello."
Just a fucking "hello" from out there...
Something is wrong with the world right now.
This isn't normal and it's scary as fuck.

@EdanClay @JaxMaCack Hello from Albany, NY. Before you Please consider staying in the US. We need sound minds and voices to check the tide of hatred and intolerance consuming our nation. New York state is great place to make your stand for freedom, liberty, and a government by and for the people.✌️

Waiting for outraged Congressional hearings and breathless New York Times headlines for months about Ivanka's private email account.

No? Nothing?

My heart was already heavy this week with the images of traumatized children at the border, then I heard the local story of the shooting of Antwon Rose. This is a story we have heard far too often in this country. #police #shooting #Pittsburgh #AntwonRoseJr

Our government failed the American citizens of Puerto Rico. Nearly 5,000 killed and hundreds of thousands more still being ignored and forgotten. https://t.co/Qxhb5HPc4o

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

We can never truly repay the debt we owe our fallen heroes. But we can remember them, honor their sacrifice, and affirm in our own lives those enduring ideals of justice, equality, and opportunity for which generations of Americans have given that last full measure of devotion.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

If we really want to help working Americans, then let’s take up causes that would actually put money into their hands, like raising the minimum wage, making public colleges and universities tuition-free, and guaranteeing access to health care for everyone.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Marshall Sahlins suggests an apt response to the NFL owners: A National Kneel-in. Fans kneel during national anthem at sporting events in solidarity with the players, and in honor of justice and equality -- values enshrined in the Constitution, higher and older than the anthem.

Union Membership as percent of employees:
* Iceland 91.8%
* Sweden 67%
* Belgium 55.1%
These countries have a High Level of Happiness, Security and almost No Poverty, Massacres or Enormous Wealth Inequality

The United States has a Union participation of 10.6%

Think About It

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

From the Obama family to yours, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving full of joy and gratitude.

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

I’m thankful to still live in a country-for now-where I can tell @realDonaldTrump to go fuck himself straight to hell for endorsing a pedophile & being the worst president in the history of this country. He’s absolutely pathetic & an international shame. #HappyThanksgiving 🦃 🍁

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

Even while within the camps, my family found reason to celebrate and give thanks. Although we dined in a common mess hall, we were together, and we had hope for a better future.

May you and yours find reason to celebrate and be grateful for the gifts and blessings life brings.

[Tea Pain @TeaPainUSA]

Today, we are thankful that this is the final Thanksgiving of the Trump administration. Amen. @realDonaldTrump
