| *Indicates content from our sponsors | | | MY THOUGHTS | Thanksgiving, Without English. | Good morning. I grew up immersed fully in an immigrant community. My family arrived in America in the early '90s, along with my aunts, uncles, cousins, and all of my family's friends. Every celebration — from birthdays to graduations, family reunions to regular weekend gatherings — was Thanksgiving to us. | No table was complete without a heartfelt toast to this land, to America, and the opportunities it provided for us and the generations to come. These toasts were always accompanied by stories of the immigrant journey and tear-filled reflections on how far we had come. | This gratitude for America is central to the immigrant psyche. It's always present, always looking for a moment to surface. You might think, then, that Thanksgiving wouldn't be a big deal for immigrant families like mine. But it's quite the opposite. | Thanksgiving is the most American day of the year. | It's a day when immigrants can walk into a store, buy a turkey, gravy, and stuffing, place them alongside their traditional dishes (in my case, Russian food), and feel completely American. And for those who've only recently arrived, it's a day they can participate in — without even speaking a word of English. | That's what makes this day extraordinary. Immigration is a beautiful story, built on optimism and the belief that the future is brighter than the past. It's a selfless journey where the fruits of hard work are often enjoyed most by future generations. But it's also a harrowing journey, marked by loneliness and doubts about fitting in. | Thanksgiving, however, eases those doubts. It's a day when new Americans feel fully American — when they can express gratitude for those who built this land before us and the ideas that have made this country the city upon a hill. | This year, as fall fades into winter, I'll spend Thanksgiving with my family — perhaps the only day of the year we're all together under one roof (yet another exceptional gift of this day). | It's not just a day to express gratitude for this country — something we do every day — but to pause, reflect, and share that gratitude together. And in those moments, surrounded by family and tradition, it feels like the very heart of what it means to be American. | Ari David, | Founder, Upward News | | On another note, Thanksgiving marks the start of the holiday season. It's a time when news cycles slow, screens are put aside, and people focus on their families. It's a beautiful thing. | I want to take a moment to thank you all for being here — for tuning into the work our team pours their hearts into, for sharing it, and for believing in our mission to deliver honest, fearless, and intelligent reporting to help steer this country toward another golden era. I'm deeply grateful for each and every one of you. | Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones. | P.S. If you're not a paid member yet, please consider becoming one.
