Our wanna-be king appeals federal court decision requiring the use of sign language interpreters at his events. Remarkable stew of vanity, disdain for disabled people, and a refusal to comply with any laws. Cartoonishly evil.
DOJ argues Trump being made to use sign language interpreters could hurt his ‘image’
The Justice Department has appealed a November order requiring interpreters at many events

26 years ago yesterday Rick Danko died. He was a brilliant light, whose luminescence still shines every time you hear his voice on a recording.

More racism directed at Somalis. This is repulsive.

Outstanding piece on Trump’s racist, fascist attacks on Somalis. You need to read this.
Trump’s Attack on Somali Americans Is Vile Fascism
He’s testing our country’s tolerance for ethnic persecution. And we’re failing the test.

Happy 101st birthday to Shirley Chisholm.
#ResistanceRoots

Shirley Chisholm was born on this day in 1924 in Brooklyn, N.Y. She was the first African American woman elected to Congress, the first Black candidate from a major party to run for president, and a fierce advocate for civil rights, women’s rights and poverty reduction. /1

Without farmworkers we wouldn’t be able to celebrate Thanksgiving. Be thankful for their hard work this holiday season!

Sin los trabajadores agrícolas no podríamos celebrar el Día de Acción de Gracias. ¡Agradece su arduo trabajo en estas fiestas!

Maybe spend some time giving thanks for the skilled and hardworking farm workers who are responsible for that lovely food on your table.
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.

TEN MONTHS IN:

The national debt is higher.

The trade deficit is wider.

The inflation rate has worsened.

The unemployment rate is up.

This is the most horrifying thing I’ve read vis-a-vis the increasingly horrible ethnic cleansing our government is implementing. This must become a giant media story: shining a light on this might deter the government from going ahead with it.
"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."
Exclusive: Trump DHS Plans Immigration Raids on Churches Over Holidays
The Trump Dept. of Homeland Security is briefing federal agencies on plans for immigration enforcement operations inside churches over holidays.

Ruby Bridges. Oh beautiful for spacious skies.
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

Again, irony is being absolutely slayed.
Breaking from us:

As the Trump administration searches for more space to detain immigrants, it is approaching Washington tribes to see if they will participate.

Nisqually Indian Tribe is saying no.

We are, I guess, at the kidnapping teachers point in our nation’s history.
This is the teacher federal agents grabbed yesterday at Rayito De Sol daycare in front of children. Attorneys for Diana Santillana have filed a petition in federal court to have her freed from ICE custody.

This. 1,000% this.

You gotta listen to this.
I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.
