1.) If you're gong to break the rules and see family or friends you deem safe for Thanksgiving - can you at least, consider, NOT POSTING PICS of it? What does that say to the healthcare workers who are risking their lives & dying due to Covid-19?

2.) Or people who lost their jobs this year & don't have the money to even consider flying somewhere? Or gaslighting people who are taking it seriously who feel like they're maybe taking it too seriously for doing so? Who are those social media pics going to be for anyway?

8.) This year has been revolutionary in so many ways and the election was a referendum on many things, but mostly on Trump's handling of Covid-19. If you voted against Trump, don't act like him this winter.
