While we think of Thanksgiving as an American holiday, we don't have the market cornered on harvest celebrations.

I explored autumn festivals from around the world in this series for @rosettastone , including sharing traditional recipes.

(2) First up we have Sukkot, a biblically-based holiday sometimes called the Festival of Booths where Jewish people celebrate the exodus of the Israelites and the bounty God provided.

Also, there's challah with honey and I'm ALWAYS down for that.

(3) Next we have Olivagando. Italians celebrate la dolce goccia or the “sweet drop" with a fall festival. I chat with @chefchuck1 about why Italians value olive oil and how to choose a good one.

I also made a very pretty olive oil cake. You're welcome.

(4) One of the most widely celebrated is the Moon or Mid Autumn festival. The Chinese tell their children about Chang'e , the beautiful lady in the moon, and eat mooncakes.

Mine aren't quite as gorgeous but my Chinese friend gave me an "A" for effort.

(5) Next, we travel to India to celebrate Makar Sankranti, a colorful festival filled with bonfires, feasts and kite flying. I chat with @nehathemartian to learn more about how the festival is celebrated

Bonus: A simple recipe for til gul or sesame sweets

(6) Nicknamed Korean Thanksgiving, you'll find similarities in Chuseok including traffic jams, sports & a big feast.

Koreans say making beautiful songpyeon (Chuseok's colorful rice cakes), means you'll get a beautiful daughter
Don't tell mine she's doomed

(7) And lastly, we explore Thanksgiving. I chat with @Chef_Sean , founder of @the_sioux_chef , about how to respectfully celebrate the holiday without whitewashing history.

Sean also shares a recipe for a Thanksgiving side from his award-winning cookbook.

(END) I hope you peruse these posts, get a peek into other harvest celebrations, and enjoy a taste of foods that capture cultural traditions

#HappyThanksgiving friends from my family to yours. Let's make sure that tolerance & a taste for adventure are always welcome at the table

This #SundayMorning we're taking a closer look at those involved in the Ukraine scandal.

Which of the major players among the Trump administration & the GOP will face charges or further inquiries? How deep does this rabbit hole of corruption go?

(THREAD)

(2) Let's start with the 3 amigos: Perry, Volker & Sondland. Sondland committed perjury but then "revised" his statements.

Hill's testimony supports Perry was too stupid to realize what was going on & Volker has been forthright (mostly).

washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/1…
(3) While it's unlikely any of the 3 amigos will face charges, there have been some questions about who knew what in the OMB (Office of Management and Budget ) about the hold on foreign aid and how deeply those officials may be implicated in the scandal.

We’re canceling Thanksgiving apparently.

Why did the liberal Illuminati not keep me in the loop? I paid my dues, people.
I assume he’s referring to this.

washingtonpost.com/opinions/renam…
Although we’re a little tongue in cheek here, there are some very good reasons to take a close look at how we celebrate Thanksgiving.

I interviewed @Chef_Sean , founder of @the_sioux_chef about this very issue last week. Bonus: There’s a recipe!

This morning we're asking why GOP leadership has abdicated all leadership and seems willing to cowtail to this corrupt President.

We're looking at you @LindseyGrahamSC and @senatemajldr
Is kompromat from when the RNC servers got hacked being used to keep them in line?

(THREAD)
(2) This is a conspiracy theory that has spawned rampant speculation. And most responsible journalists have steered clear of these rumors because they're just that.

Rumors.

But one of the most damning pieces of evidence is Graham's own bizarre behavior.

(3) It's difficult to discern why a man who was John McCain's best friend would stand by and watch Trump not only malign the war hero but undermine everything he stood for.

Lindsey Graham's about-face seems embarrassing, but maybe it serves a purpose.

Docs you all write brilliant articles, but unless they're affected people don't read them.

PLEASE watch this 2 min video, this is URGENT! There are articles attached to prove this is critical. This can affect every #American. People are needlessly dying, We need your #Help
Almost 6 decades ago the UN addressed the under-treatment of pain, despite narcotic pain relief many people around the world suffer needlessly. In 1961 we recognized the undertreatment of #pain is a #HumanRights abuse. #RNC & #DNC are you listening?

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
The #DEA is arguably waging a war against the weakest members of society These are #HumanRights abuses! #Trump Administration you think #KidsInCages was bad!

Plz, use the link in the article to let the DEA know what you think about more cuts to supplies

Here's what I think of as the dear #American journalists thread 2.0. It concerns Facebook and #lka, hate speech detection, and language complexities of the Global South, where @LIRNEasia (the think tank I work at) operates.
It seems a perfectly natural reaction, given the phenomenal amount of hate speech, to urge @facebook and @twitter to get their shit together and take it off the platform. Post March 2018, we - as in Sri Lankan civil society - tried.
In fact, one of the longest running arguments @sanjanah, @NalakaG and myself have had with the @facebook India team is that they consistently fail to live up to their own damn Community Standards, and only seem to pay attention as long as the @nytimes or @WIRED is slamming them.

I called DJT's wall expensive, ineffective, and stupid. You asked me to elaborate on the ineffective and stupid. Okay, here.
1: Ineffective. I think he originally wanted a concrete wall, the entire length of the US-Mexico border. That would actually work better than the steel crap he's been talking about recently, but the point is that walls don't keep everyone out.
The single mothers fleeing abusive husbands or the teenagers trying to evade arrest for whatever stupid shit they get up to, fine, a wall will work. The "Bad Hombres" DJT uses to justify the whole need for a wall, no.

🗯️ All Activists Matter❌
@AllActivists
1. The weaponization of our society seems to cover just about every facet of #American lifestyle. From life's necessities to technology, to media, even our governing agencies. We have to ask: #WhereDoesItAllEnd?.. in #MartialLaw?

#EverythingWeaponized
2. Let's first define what it means to '#Weaponize'. It's simple...do the opposite of what something is supposed to do:

A. Make drinking water unsafe
B. Make food poisonous instead of nutritious
C. Allow @TheJusticeDept to let crime flourish
D. Turn our news into lies: #FakeNews
3. Clearly, the single greatest threat to our society and our entire earth is #GeoEngineering - the spraying of our skies by both military & commercial aircraft.

Just #Lookup!.. it's not hard to spot But what are the motives? We've heard it all. #Chemtrails #OpChemtrails #HAARP
