Hey Useful Idiots,

As the crushing darkness envelopes us all into its endless oblivion, not only obscuring the light from above but slithering its way into the remaining crevices of hope, eclipsing dream into nightmare and expelling any smile which clings to the stray fragments of life, Useful Idiots is here to say: “Happy Thanksgiving!”

This year, we’ve covered a lot of sucky and terrible stories and it often feels easy to become cynical, dejected, even just give up. But from our guests like Abby Martin, Medea Benjamin, Lindsey Snell, and Mansoor Adayfi, who keep fighting every day against a government trying to silence them, we can instead choose to become energized to join their fight.

We’re thankful to have so many Useful Idiots who want to listen to these inspiring activists, and we will keep doing our part to give them a megaphone.

So this week, the starter prompt is a more uplifting one:

What do we still have to be thankful for? What do you think is achievable with the efforts of activists like Abby, Medea, Lindsey, Mansoor, and all you Useful Idiots out there?

I'm thankful I live near the center of a major European city. If the US escalates the proxy war in Ukraine to use nukes and Russia retaliates, I have a good chance to die in the initial blast.
