I'm not going to get into an indoor vs. outdoor cat debate but I want to point out that Jan - Mar is coyote mating season in North America, which means coyotes are more agitated and territorial and therefore an increased danger to outdoor cats. Make the best decisions you can for your pets, please.

I cannot express to you the absolute, bone-deep contempt I feel for every level of the US government.

Name and crimes. Make a fucking list. Dems should prosecute them, but every ICE agent should be hounded out of society. That old asshole at the mall upset because he was recognized and they filmed him? Every single ICE/CBP/associated agent for the rest of their lives.
I will vote for whoever is first to pledge to make public every ICE agent's name.

So you could mail a ballot in plenty of time, the US Postal Service (currently under Trump's favored postmaster-general) could delay service to left-leaning counties in your state, and suddenly a whole lot of ballots "arrive late" and are disqualified.
As recently as 2020, providing grace periods for mail ballots was not controversial. But in Ohio and beyond, Republicans mostly now oppose them. That starts with Trump, who has falsely claimed that they lead to widespread voter fraud.
Ohio Bans Grace Periods for Mail Ballots, Fulfilling Trump’s Wishes
Ohio is the fourth GOP-run state this year to ban ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive after. A Supreme Court case could force that policy nationwide next year.

This year, many people resigned their posts at the slightest hint that the Trump regime was displeased with them instead of staying and making someone fire them.
Sharyn Alfonsi is showing us why you stay and refuse: you make clear your superiors are wrong and may them pay the costs of firing you.

This paraphrase of 60 Minutes journalist Sharyn Alfonsi in Playbook is really the thing: “declining to air a story because the administration wouldn’t comment for it amounted to handing the state a veto on journalism”

We kept seeing people say Trump would start a war right before the Epstein release deadline. Looks like you were right, this sure looks like Trump declaring war on Venezuela on social media, without congressional approval.

There isn’t much for our Supreme Court to hear, the Constitution is already clear. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

Ex Trump lawyer argues that the Constitution is insufficient to address the unprecedented abuses of power committed by President Trump. He asserts that Trump’s actions in Venezuela and Colombia constitute war crimes, and soldiers should be aware that they are not obligated to follow illegal orders.
