As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.

Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

Imagine being, like, a sales manager from Wheeling, and you got shipped off to DC by your dipshit governor to fulfill Trump’s troops-in-the-streets fantasy, and then you spent two months wandering the Mall picking up trash, and then two days before Thanksgiving you got shot outside a Metro station

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17Β’ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

elise stefanik’s whole campaign for governor was relying on trump amplifying accusations that mamdani is a jihadist and not only did he have a great time meeting the guy, he directly rejected agreeing with stefanik, specifically.

incredible stuff

The degree to which the Democratic Party is failing to meet this moment is staggering. And INFURIATING, when contrasted with the courage on display from ordinary people with far, far less power & protection.

Introvert I’m guessing? I would totally zone out at home after a day of teaching. Invigorating while doing it, enervating after.

I just think Trump understands Mamdani is not someone he wants to tangle with. Too smart, too charismatic, too New York, too straightforward, too young. Easier targets elsewhere, like everyone who works for him and most of Congress. (1/2)

I think this clip is the key to understanding why Trump acted the way he did with Mamdani. His world revolves around TV ratings.

"I tell you, the press has eaten this thing up."

What a goddamn legend. Every big tough conservative masculinity guy has been crying about how terrifying cities are to live in for the past two years and now Trump wants to move back to NYC

Good looking, smart, charismatic as fuck.

I think the thing that Mamdani has here that other Dems don't is that he owes no loyalty to the old guard. A lot of Trump's mortal enemies actively tried to stop Mamdani. With a big smile, he beat the Dems that Trump hates and made them sad on TV. That's all Trump cares about.

Trump: anything else pal?

Zohran: I dunno you want to sink the GOP nominee for governor?

Trump: no problem!
