Let's not forget the surviving Hortman family as the Trump admin has completely ignored their pain and actively brushed their parents' assassinations under the rug.
This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

In Timothy Snyder's 'On Tyranny ' one of the lessons put forth is to "Defend Institutions"
Libraries are among the most important of institutions to defend and literally anybody can help do so.
Get a card, make a donation, shout out your local librarian. Resist.

I don't think Americans understand how great your library system is.
Like when I told several book authors I don't have money to buy books they told me to 'go the library, they have a budget for ordering new books and can do so if I ask' that is DEFINITELY not a thing in Poland.

The US federal government is openly warring against its own nonwhite population in a way no one alive has ever experienced. It’s not even getting to hide it. The overt bigotry is comparable to Jim Crow. And our pathetic, cowed, putrid political class just keeps pretending it isn’t even happening.

Everyone in politics, everyone in media knows what’s happening here: the White House is controlled by a repellant white supremacist who waits with bated breath for any opportunity to run nonwhite people out of America. They know who it is, what he’s doing. But they won’t SAY it.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“
