I don't expect this to get a lot of traction, but:

Please add alt text, it's not hard & it's kind of fun.

Also, please credit artists in a post.

I may like an un-alt or uncredited post, but won't likely repost unless those things are included.

Artists deserve credit, and alt text is helpful. Thx

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.

She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.
A Babson College student wanted to surprise her family for Thanksgiving. She was deported instead. - The Boston Globe
Any Lucia Lopez Belloza was at Logan to catch a flight to Texas when immigration authorities detained her as she was about to board the plane.

Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly told the White House that most Republicans aren't interested in extending ACA subsidies.

Reminder that 57% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in congressional districts represented by a Republican.

They're selling out their own voters.

While not holiday related, I feel now I can share the tale of my Mom and the beef stew.

A couple of my sisters & I helped Mom with a project, she invited us all to lunch as a thank-you. She said she would make some beef stew in the crock pot.

When we got there, she said /1

🚨Imagine ICE conducting a raid on your PRIVATE PROPERTY.🚨
Illegal, unconstitutional, and an elevation of ICE’s encroachment. This needs to have national attention. 1/2

The House announced just days before a major holiday that they will vote next week on a bill that hasn’t been filed — to redraw maps that haven’t been released. This is bad governance in the extreme. Hoosiers deserve fair maps. And they deserve transparency.

🧵 Waterfalls? Did someone say waterfalls? New River Gorge NP has so many throughout the entire park!! This is a thread about the falls along the long winding drives from the Canyon Rim as the Visitor Center to Thurmond to Grandview to Sandstone Falls. Also, I love me some waterfalls! #NewRiverGorge

Amazing that FBI directors were supposed to serve for a decade without interference, and we may be looking at #4 in the past 9 years.

Every American should have the experience of living in a country run by a dictatorship. I had that opportunity when I was 12. Lived in Soviet Russia for one school year. It was an immense education, mostly in human psychology. What people are forced to accept when stripped of all power by fascists.

Citizens are being kidnapped and disappeared off the streets, kids getting shot on the regular, millions losing health care, women bleeding out in parking lots, and Mr Douche Canoe here wants us to be respectful at the airport. He can take every blessed seat.
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."
