Almost time for the appearance of the #Catmas tree.
(Thrifted tabletop tree, festooned with cat toy ornaments and doused in catnip spray). All unbreakable, so far hasn't been destroyed and keeps the elves all over the shelves busy, busy, busy!

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.

Gotta be @harvardkennedy.bsky.social Institute of Politics which has turned into a right wing free-for-all. Harvard should strip Kennedy from the name because it's just a slap in the face to a president devoted to public service and American democracy.
Blair being the replacement is 😘

If the state of Delaware prohibited companies incorporated there from spending on elections in any way, Citizens United would be dead in the water.
Delaware incorporates more companies than any other state.
It’s a blue state. Let’s get cracking on moving Delaware lawmakers on this!

Evidence in forthcoming trials if EVERYONE votes and votes for democracy.
A video surfaced showing the brutalization of community members by ICE and the St. Paul, Minnesota PD after ICE abducted two of their neighbors. As a result of the chemical munitions and police beatings, eight people, including a journalist, were hospitalized. 11/25/25

Last month, we sued the Trump Admin for attempting to cut off funding to support survivors of domestic abuse & violent crimes in the name of their cruel immigration policies.
Now, faced with our lawsuit, the DOJ is officially dropping the restrictions. Supporting survivors shouldn't be conditional.

Some Park Rangers Are Still Owed Pay After the Shutdown
Federal workers were guaranteed back pay once the government reopened. Some at the National Park Service are still waiting.

Trump has been firing those who disagree with him, but here’s the thing: He can’t fire us.
He can try to intimidate all he wants, but I’m not going to be bullied.

Being in the US illegally is a civil offence
It’s not a felony. It’s not a criminal offence
So why are so many people being violently rounded up & thrown in camps?

The DOJ admitted that only 2.5% of people arrested in Chicago raids had criminal records
Which means 97.5% did NOT

Urban raccoons are evolving a short snout, a telltale feature of pets & other domesticated animals, but scientists believe this is just a ploy to get closer to our trash.
