Terrible day for cats today.
Noisy building work next door.*
Vacuum cleaner used.
Rain.
Divali fireworks.
2 out 0f 3 cats hiding behind the sofa and the other needing massive cuddles.
Fingers and paws are crossed for a better day tomorrow!

*No, not The Whitehouse.

She obviously knows you are having a bad one so she has brought in reinforcements.
She is a delightful creature.
You deserve each other!
Hoping you recover soon with lamby's extra help. 🫂

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Next time someone tells you democrats are responsible for the shutdown, say the following in a calm, collected tone:

- Democrats are fighting for millions of Americans to not lose their healthcare

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

🖕🤬 In October, Russia chairs the UN Security Council.

What an absurd world we live in - a country defined by EU and NATO as the most significant threat heads the Security Council of (supposedly) the most influential international organization.

Omg read the last part of the last sentence.

"Very Tame compared to the banter in the oval office every day"

The Trump Administration has spent months wrecking the resources California needs to forecast and respond to floods and winter storms.

Via the Water Resources Department, we're coordinating with local agencies on response protocol and carrying out $2B+ in flood prevention projects across our state.

This is typical but outrage will get us nowhere. This whole administration is about racism and poor people.

He's so far gone he can't tell when he's making a bad decision anymore. Is sending live ammunitions over a major freeway into Camp Pendleton a good decision? No. It's not. Let alone one that's being made by a president of the United States.

In what appears to have been a warrantless operation, the federal government will not say how many people were detained, who remains in custody and what happened to the children.
