Perhaps it's oversimplified, but... 😉

How did we get here?

1. Racists never got over the fact that slaves were freed and the Civil Rights Act was passed.
2. Some men can't accept women have rights.
3. The rich don't wanna pay their FAIR share of taxes.

1 + 2 + 3 = Destroy 160 yrs of progress.

This is Manolo. His family invited strangers to spend time with him on his last day. His mom said, "This was such a perfect way to celebrate the life of a dog who truly loved spending time with people and their dogs. Run free and fast forever, Manolo. I will never stop missing you." 14/10 for all

In a separate hearing, federal agents were ordered — temporarily — by a federal judge to wear badges and were banned from using certain riot control weapons against peaceful protesters and journalists outside the Broadview ICE facility. (Blazing Saddles Badges scene starts here.)

Two women (50s?) almost bump into each other in the biscuit* aisle.
One goes one way, the other accidentally copies.
She then goes the other, the other accidentally copies. They laugh.
The first says: Want to dance?"
"I think we already are!" (5)

In a supermarket: A young human (7?) is inspecting a display of vegan sausages. After carefully reading the packet, he roars: "DAD! ARE SAUSAGES VEGETABLES?!"
Dad shrugs. "Those ones are."
Young Human looks hopeful. "Can I eat these instead of vegetables?"
"Nope."
Serious sausage debate ensues. (4)

Two tiny humans (twins, 2?) are sitting in an extra-wide stroller as their mum does her food shop.
Both are cradling a broccoli in each of their laps with the air of tiny princes holding scepters.

A walking group of men (70s+) are leisurely making their way down a hilly street. They're quietly discussing sport, recent hospital visits and that thing Ken said at bowls.* (Apparently quite the scandal.) Mist flowing through the valley beyond. Birds chirping. Low rumbling laughter in the air. (2)

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A tiny human (1?) is fascinated by Mum's shoelaces.(Ohhh.)
Whenever he undoes them, he sits back, looking at Mum expectantly.
Mum bends down, ties them and...
OOPS Tiny Human's undone them again!
A huge gummy grin on his face. (1)

Without ACA subsidies, a couple in Peabody, MA earning $85,000 a year could see their monthly health care premium increase from $892 to $2,096.

Republicans shut down the government over this and want families to pay thousands more.

Rogan on Trump’s cruel mass deportations, racially profiling non-criminals and ripping apart families: “This is crazy. That shows no heart. You’re not gonna get any reasonable people to go along with that. Any kind person would go ‘this can’t be the only way to do this’.”
