Happy Thanksgiving to you!! This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for my incredible children, living in a blue state that champions everyone’s rights, and having a family full of empathy and compassion—who also proudly vote blue.
When President Lincoln proclaimed it a national holiday, he did it to bring people together during the Civil War. Only Americans can hijack it and make it a holiday to celebrate the subjectation of millions of indigenous people.
At least I don't have to sit around the table with magas!
The Wampanoag saved the Pilgrims
In 1621, the Wampanoag shared their food and taught the Pilgrims how to hunt and farm, helping them survive the harsh winter. This generosity is the basis for the story of the first Thanksgiving.
The same William Bradford, governor of Plymouth, that said while the victory over slaying the Pequot Native American Tribe was gruesome and awful to see, it was a “sweet sacrifice,” so they officially started Thanksgiving after that? The Pequot Massacre happened in 1637
I can no longer feel how happiness looks like , moments of misery and sorrow in my life,l feel like committing suicide,l have lost the spirit to hold on anymore😭😭l feel like this is the end of the situation am in. I don’t know what to do l really need someone to talk to ❤️🙏
This is BS, of course. The truth is much different. Thanks to William Bradford for saving the colony. He was the one who helped the relationship with the native people.
One of my hardest jobs as a first grade teacher was to dispel the myths of the first Thanksgiving without being too harsh. I was just factual about what the day really was. That was enough for 6 yr old kids. There are some great books out there that handle it.
I didn't say I lied. I said I told the truth in 6 year old terms. That is different. You don't know me and we could have talked about what I told my kids without you calling me names. You might have even had something to say that I could have learned from. But I don't discuss with bullies.
Thanksgiving was a holiday declared by Abraham Lincoln in 1864. Not sure how this myth about natives feeding Europeans started. Maybe it happened once. IDK. What I do know is that they were pretty hostile to the invaders. Not that I have a problem with that.
In a neighborhood that's free from racist rants about the Jews...
So...let's make the most of this bright Bluesky day,
Where bigots can't hurt you if you're proudly gay,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Be my Bluesky neighbor! ♫
This cartoon is so sad but true. This country has been screwed up since the beginning….wrong, since before we decided it was OUR country! Today we celebrate stealing and destroying another culture. I hope you have a good time.

My dear friend. Be nice to all. Family, friends, strangers!
Thanks for the info.
A beautiful day for a neighbor,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
It's an Elon-free day in this Bluesky hood,
Where Twitter hate no longer matters,
And it feels fine,
It's about time.
I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,
So...let's make the most of this bright Bluesky day,
Where bigots can't hurt you if you're proudly gay,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Be my Bluesky neighbor! ♫
Happy Thanksgiving!
