the whole essay is worth a read IMHO (or just watch the video).

"I’ve seen a lot of leftists talking about going out and buying a handgun, because that’s what they think the revolution is. I’m here to tell you that it isn’t. The Nazis see revolution as inherently violent and now they have control of the state’s ability to do violence, so they’re hoping they get to use it. But no, that’s not what the revolution is. The revolution is you meeting another progressive in the real world and teaming up."

This seems important:

@Save_Bees I'm waiting to see where Hannibal Lecter winds up fitting in

@MelissaHDavis as in the holiday, or in the more general sense of giving thanks to god?

Are there other songs you consider to be Thanksgiving songs?

and here's _The National_'s version:

As an antidote to premature Christmas music, may I offer the one #ThanksgivingSong I'm aware of:

Meagan Mullaley & John Roberts (not that one): Gravy Boat
