Among the things I am thankful for is the courage and patriotism of all the federal workers who blew the whistle on agency policies that harm Americans, and those who support us. #CourageIsContagious Art by @drrabbithole.bsky.social

Starbucks baristas picketing at the Buffalo, NY store where it all began for Starbucks Workers United.
A good reminder: When you’re fighting a corporate oligarchy, worker solidarity is the only path to a fair economy.
Very thankful for unions today! ✊

I grew up on all those US TV shows featuring holier-than-thou young lawyers crowing about the sacrosanct nature of the US Constitution.
It's clear that the Constitution is meaningless to enough people to allow this jackass to ignore it as he wishes.
The document has lost its hallowed veneer.

You may be looking at us and asking yourself what WE'RE thankful for this year.
Fair question, given *waves arms at everything going on*
It's been a tough year. The walls have been closing in as federal employees & public land lovers cling to the cliff side. This was not the journey we wanted.

At some point, the Republican project shifted from attacking scientific consensus on particular subjects that ran counter to their political interests to trying to shut down all scientific inquiry wherever it might be headed.
