Thanksgiving is a holiday about giving thanks that The Union survived the depredations of the Confederacy.
I think that's an especially good reason to celebrate today, and a hope we'll do it again soon.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

The Trump regime will find reasons for dictatorship everywhere.
They will create the conditions for doing so and then claim these cinditions necessitate dictatorial powers.
It is an old playbook and they won't stop until stopped.

Parents who deny medical care like vaccines to their kids should simply go to jail for attempted murder and never be allowed contact with their kids. No excuse justifies that level of abuse.

Did a little checking, because the suit hasn't had any hearings, yet less a decision appealable to SCOTUS:
This is, weirdly a fake story making its way around meta properties, with the only links being to a right-wing propaganda/fake news site, "usamidia"

And by design LLMs destroy shared context
