I know ppl in the US aren't saying they need a break from the several genocides the USA is abetting while their Thanksgiving turkeys thaw.
I know they aren't about to sit down and be 'grateful' the Turtle Island genocide provided them a place to live while insisting they need to take a mental health break from the genocide that Palestinians are the actual victims of.
And frankly, if Palestinians under occupation can force the entire world to notice their genocide while blackouts of internet and electricity happen then you can share their posts about it from the dinner table.
And in the spirit of the holiday you insist on celebrating: you can be grateful that's your only personal experience with genocide this year.
If you as person in the USA, do not share the same values as the white supremacists forefathers that got you here, then start acting like it.
Stop breathing life into traditions built on oppression. And stop celebrating them the same heartless ways they did. Natives couldn't even vote in every state until 1957, but y'all were having Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is not and was never a holiday that celebrated peace or harmony or equality or appreciation or appreciation. And we all know that's never what it's been about anyway. You know how I know?
Because enslaved people from Africa are who served colonizers their Thanksgiving meals.
Because bringing an end to our ongoing genocide would have been peace and harmony and the USA to this day refuses to do so.
This Thanksgiving I hope every bite goes down like native blood into soil.
Stop celebrating genocide and start standing behind global indigenous liberation so we can create a day to celebrate that instead.
Free Palestine.

Nice is way overrated. Kindness is way underperformed. Sometimes being kind means being not nice.
Just because I got a kind heart doesn’t mean I tolerate hate from anyone not even my own family
