At this point I am going to block people who are like "stop talking about thing that is shitty, it's a distraction from the REAL ISSUES"

They're all real issues. The only non-real issue is you trying to dictate what I get to talk about.

I mean this: if your DAs and AGs aren’t talking about prosecuting this, get some who will if you possibly can. Either by shaming or voting.
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Woke up this morning with big plans.
Saw the news about ICE being dipshits in my city
Saw the news that someone I know was arrested by ICE
Had a very physical reaction
Big plans didn't happen.

More of this, please
BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight.

Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall.

This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

The thing I have found about my current job is that there is no piece of learning I do not use. It's not just about facts (although those, too).

Learning to do proofs taught me patience with material and the skill of banging my head against a brick wall.

It will be interesting to see how New Doc is going to address these assignments when I go back for my next check in.

She also wants me to teach Kitty to make me get up and move immediately after every meal. That should be easier, but I'm still not sure how she decides now that I need to move.

Kitty ensures that I get up and move regularly.

Doc wants me to convince Wumpus to alert at a lower blood glucose level (I don't know how she figured out to alert me in the first place)

My cats have chosen on their own to help me follow my treatment plan in various ways.
Macie monitors my blood sugars and alerts me when I'm going low (especially when I'm asleep)
Wumpus monitors my blood sugars and alerts me when I'm going high, especially when I've been sitting for too long

I had my last appointment with a good doctor today (she's retiring and heading off to explore being well rested).

It was kind of sad because she really did listen to me, but also kind of fun because she introduced me to my next doc and told new doc about my cats.

as a neighbor over in Alabama who has faced too many ballots with unopposed republicans, this makes me SO HAPPY for Texas!!!!
Texas Democrats just did something historic under the leadership of new state party chair @kendallscudder.bsky.social. We have filed a candidate in EVERY 2026 race.

U.S. Senate: 1 of 1
U.S. House: 38 of 38
State Senate: 15 of 15
State House: 150 of 150
State Board of Education: 8 of 8
We Did It, Texas Dems, We Did It
Candidates in every legislative, statewide, and federal race. Now it’s time to build power where it counts.

Yeah, there was a stranger in the house.
At least today he didn't make so much noise and didn't make mom leave her room.
Mom says he's all done and won't be back unless you give them lots of money.

Today, #Hope is hard to find
ICE is kidnapping people in my city. My fellow citizens are making them work for it, but it's still horrifying to see.

Please send me your most hope-filled memes, thoughts, ideas, etc.

We have an electrician in the house installing a new circuit to go with the upstairs washer/dryer that were installed 4 years ago and plugged into a very under-rated circuit for them.

We are very lucky that we didn't burn the house down before now.

If they go through with this (even if it is USPS being hard nosed in negotiations) they should be required by law to ensure delivery to every address in the US just like USPS is.
🚨SCOOP: Amazon is preparing to sever ties with USPS and expand its shipping network as a true coast-to-coast rival.

It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.

USPS posted a *$9 billion* loss in 2025.

"...cats meow more frequently when greeting male caregivers. The team hypothesized that men 'require more explicit vocalizations to notice and respond to the needs of their cats'...suggesting that many cats have concluded that men don’t always listen, and adjusted their behavior accordingly."
