He sleeps a lot, enjoys sunny spots, and is still pushy when he wants affection.
I love him for the life he’s given me, and try hard not to think of the days when he’s no longer here.

I often take comfort in the words of Bobby Sands, who wrote “Our revenge will be the laughter of our children.”
Things may be rough now, and it’s easy to give in to despair, but one day, MAGA will fall, and the GOP will proclaim “we were always against this!”

"We report on the growing campaign to throw Israel out of Eurovision over allegations of genocide in Gaza"
'allegation' means a claim made without proof. Two weeks ago a UN report found Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and provided the evidence.

Trump has declared an attack on Qatar is an attack on America.
So he’s pretty much forming a two-state NATO, an organization he despises, undermines and bullies.
Anyone wanna remind him who bombed Doha in September?

Universities welcomed Kirk, allowing him to form chapters of his organization on their campuses, to hold large rallies to recruit people to his movement.
They did this *despite* the fact that Kirk criticized them and exposed their members to harassment.

Trump wrote a love letter to Epstein yet the media is missing it. (And I don't mean they were having a sexual relationship- but they were in love)
Trump was in LOVE with Epstein. I can say that with confidence now that we know the card he wrote/drew for Epstein in 2003 was real. Look at the playfulness and intimacy in this card. This is not a side to Trump we've seen. It's what Trump shares with a person he loves.

Yep! Trump sending troops to attack and occupy Chicago is NOT about crime, it's about control. Trump is the Jefferson Davis of the USA. He committed treason with his Jan 6 attack and then pardon of the his terrorists. Now he is on verge of committing another act of TREASON.
In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago.
These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer.
This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.

I consistently mistake Crazy Town for Smash Mouth (and vice versa). Didn’t love either band, but didn’t hate them either.
Also, a reminder that Trump is in the Epstein Files, Israel is still committing genocide in Gaza, fascism is upon us and the Democrats are still curled up in a fetal position.

Ryan Walters’ press conference just now was full of seething rage, obfuscation, projection and threats. No humility, no grace. He’s unfit to serve.
He wants Bibles in the classroom & Christianity taught in class, but has porn on during online meetings.
Now he accuses parents & media of twisting that into something serious for political purposes.
