On Thanksgiving 2025

What do we have to be thankful for today? For the events that haven’t occurred yet. The economy may be struggling against Trump-induced headwinds, but it hasn’t collapsed. The Russians haven’t broken through in Ukraine. Trump hasn’t used the Insurrection Act. We still, for the most part, have First Amendment rights. Taiwan hasn’t been traded for soybeans. The lower courts are still putting up resistance. And so on.

Will I still be able to say any of this next year? I honestly have no idea.
