Antifa block captain. Bicyclist. Cat lover. COYS, Hook 'em Horns and Let's Play Two. Loves semicolons. Twice voted for a woman president; twice disappointed.
On this date in 2021, Donald Trump incited an insurrection against the seat and procedures of our democracy.

Trump and his minions can whitewash this until the end of time, but we saw it with our own eyes, and we will NEVER FORGET.

"Mr. Maduro, I know exactly how you feel."

I hope today's events in Venezuela inspire other nations to seize the Orange Clown on one of his overseas trips and fly him to The Hague, where he can stand trial for his many violations of int'l law.

If people admire you, they put your name on buildings. If you have to do it yourself, well… that’s different.

This will be Freddie's first Christmas. He's looking forward to the opening of presents on Thursday morning, so he can play with all the bows, ribbons and tissue paper. Feline heaven!

It's Christmas Eve. Let's forget about the red cap crowd for 36 hours or so.

Embrace (literally EMBRACE) your family and friends and fur babies. Read a good book. Watch a heart-warming movie.

We'll get back in the fight on Friday.

Trump's speech tonight will be, as always, a rambling, self-centered word salad. I say we ignore it and watch a Rob Reiner movie instead.

I haven't seen "Misery" in a while. I think that's the one for me.

"You better start showing me a little appreciation around here, Mr. Man!" 🤣

When I saw this photo of Trump's "inner circle," I immediately thought of that scene in the movie "Hannibal," in which an evil man is fed to feral hogs.

Watching mighty Ohio State lose the Big 10 Championship to longtime doormat Indiana puts a smile on my face.

This is our new boy Freddie's first Christmas. It took him all of five minutes to realize the tree is nothing more than a big toy we set up for his enjoyment.

Better than 50% chance there is no FIFA Peace Prize next year and this was a one-off to make the orange toddler happy.

Y'know, FIFA and Gianni Infantino can seriously go fuck themselves. I knew this was coming but this peace prize bullshit is still so goddammed offensive.

This is Donald Trump receiving the FIFA Peace Prize from FIFA President, Gianni Infantino. It feels increasingly morally icky to imagine watching next summer's World Cup. Football fans are, once again, being forced into an ethical trap by the blight of sportswashing.

Why is FIFA creating a peace prize?
And why in God’s name are they awarding it to the most hostile, cruel and violence-inciting president in the world?

Shame on FIFA and their president, Gianni Infantino.

Two of the most corrupt, loathsome men on the planet will share a stage tomorrow in Washington.

At the draw for the 2026 World Cup, Gianni Infantino is expected to give warmonger Donald Trump the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize.

He'll also attest Trump is 6'3" and a very stable genius.

What bullshit!

Grijalva (D-AZ) had to wait fifty days to be sworn in. Van Epps (R-TN) had to wait less than fifty hours.

I can't wait for the day when Mike Johnson gives up the gavel and returns to obscurity.

#USHouse #VanEpps
JUST NOW: Van Epps immediately sworn in by Speaker Johnson, vows to support and defend the constitution*

(* = whatever Trump tells him to)

Flaca, the Queen of the Castle, has found a sun puddle and is lazily licking her paw, then bathing behind her ear.

It's times like these, when she acts as if she's two years old, rather than twenty, that warm my heart. 🖤
