It is with deep sorrow that I share that Kitty has passed away at 18 years old. Shortly after I posted about him a month ago, he took a bad turn. He had a seizure and went over the 🌈 bridge Tuesday. Thank you for all the joy you gave. You are deeply missed my cuddle bug.😢💔 #caturday #catsofbluesky

Biden and Obama are styling and so presidential!💙 #NoKingsDay

"So rather than say, 'What's in it for me?' or What's in it for my community?' and 'To heck with everyone else,' stand up for and join up with everyone who's struggling." Barack Obama #NoKingsDay

"Trump’s administration this week provided deportation officials with personal data -- including the immigration status -- on millions of Medicaid enrollees, a move that could make it easier to locate people as part of his sweeping immigration crackdown."

"A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order Thursday directing President Donald Trump to return control of the National Guard to California."

Jan Sixers fully masked as ICE agents going after non-criminal immigrants at their immigration court dates, to 47 deploying armed Nat'l Guard & threatening to send Marines to constitutional right-ensured protests. 47 wants chaos & violence. Obama/Biden deported 8 mil & they didn't need troops.

My friend sent me this lovely story of Floppy in Az, what people thought was a dog, but surprised everyone. "Ralph, I've brought a new dog home."

This is why he wanted Greenland. The orange Bozo blew that one with his hubris.

Az- Immigrants show up for their hearing and then by federal order, cases are dismissed while ICE is waiting for them outside. These aren't criminals, these are immigrants, some with children accompanying them, just trying to do the right thing.

Looks like his regime lawyers have been stalling and biding time until the Big Bill is passed. It has a hidden component that bars federal courts from enforcing a contempt citation with appropriated funds.

"The president has amassed a war chest of at least $600 million in political donations heading into the midterm elections...It’s an unprecedented sum in modern politics, particularly for a lame-duck president who is barred by the U.S. Constitution from running again."

Lawyers for the orange Bozo regime argue that DOGE should be exempt from Freedom of Information Requests and that forcing records to be public would be “intrusive.” The irony. After they have been data mining our information. Always hiding something.

Devastating news.

So much for the U.S. not negotiating with narcoterrorists. 17 family members of cartel leaders crossed into the U.S. last week as part of a deal between a son of the former head of the Sinaloa Cartel and 47's administration. mexiconewsdaily.com/politics/she...

"On April 11, Judge John Woodcock Jr. ordered the USDA to immediately unfreeze any withheld federal funding to the state. The administration agreed that it will not interfere with the state’s access to Dept of Agriculture funding, and in turn, the state will drop its lawsuit against the agency."

The Force is strong with this one. We began #StarWarsDay with Episode I #ThePhantomMenace while my 18 year old kitty, mostly blind, is pawing Leia's bobblehead back and forth. #CatsofBluesky #CatLover #Caturday #MayTheForceBeWithYou #MayThePawsBeWithYou

Does anyone else feel the need to watch Star Wars for emotional support purposes more than ever? My son wrote up a modernized intro for the current state of affairs. Trade Wars Episode I The Orange Menace Enjoy the quick video below. Volume up. #MayTheForceBeWithYou #MayThe4thBeWithYou #Resist

Swim Suit $119 Shipping $20 Tariffs $211.11 Taxes $12.35 TOTAL $362.46 More companies are sharing tariff charges. Amazon should have done it. It's obvious their prices are going up. Felon47 boasts record billions in tariff revenues for Apr, but he isn't transparent that we're the ones paying them.

Making a statement, lawyers standing united in defense of judicial independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the rule of law.

“Nearly 400 books were removed from Nimitz Library to comply with directives outlined in Executive Orders issued by the President.” Pete Hegseth has taken Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou off of the Naval Academy library shelves, but left two copies of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf. #Booksky

AZ- Limiting what children read isn't going to protect them from life's challenges, but a book may help them. This is a waste of funds to appease only a few, when the money is needed elsewhere. We emailed MCLD, find contact information here. Defend intellectual freedom in our libraries. #Booksky

“It’s not okay to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process...They are counting on if they can make some people afraid, it will have a chilling effect on others...But what they’ve overlooked is that fear isn’t the only thing that’s contagious. Courage is contagious."

Inflation Supply Shock Recession Tyranny All caused by one man. Mobilize, protest, demand, defy & resist!

Books everywhere! Even a card catalog. The floors go by the Dewey Decimal System, each room its own subject. Could you have a happily ever after here, relaxing with a good book and a Tequila Mockingbird? All hotels should have a cozy library with a reading niche.📚🥰 youtu.be/H0yGWyjE3_k #Booksky

Who knew that when we rescued this sweet boy 18 years ago, we'd have endless days of blissful moments. He is blind now, slowing down and slimmer, so sadly, I think this may be his last year of life. We appreciate every bit of joy he brings.💙 Goodnight Bluesky! #catsofbluesky #caturday

This is our 18 year old kitty. We rescued him when he was only a few weeks old. He is mostly blind now, but he gets around amazingly well. You can see his kitten photo in the comments. Good night, Bluesky. #catsofbluesky #catlover #caturday

The new DOGE eggs. After they fired everyone and stopped food inspections, they brought in replacements. 👇👇👇👇👇

Looking for an independently owned 💙 friendly bookstore? This one looks like it could be really good, and it's based in Arizona for my fellow Zonans looking to support locally. Happy Land is definitely on my list. I'll have to check out the others and see what I want to add to my TBR. #booksky

"Liar, liar, pants on fire. When Humpty Trumpty tries to distract you by shouting squirrel or bird. I'm calling out the bullshit for exactly what it is." A wise 18 yr old cat. #catsky #catsofbluesky #meow #catlover #caturday #fighttryanny

"This case is not about whether he is good or bad, whether he should be able to remain for the rest of his life in the U.S. or not. This case is about the simple fact that he was removed without due process. And if it can happen to him, then who’s next?" Kilmar Abrego Garcia's attorney Rina Gandhi.

Az protestors and others across the nation are representing with some good trouble. Share & tag for visibility! Show the world we are fighting back. Mainstream media can't cover this up. #HandsOff #FiftyFiveZeroOne #Protest #StopTheCoup

@karinslaughter.com is one of my go to authors for binge worthy thrillers. Imagine my joy when I found a copy of Pieces of Her already inscribed & signed at the library sale. My 18 yr old cat approves.😻 Now on the search for Pretty Girls, not an easy HC find. #catsofbluesky #caturday #booksky

Thank you Gov. Hobbs. AZ-"Opponents say the state should leave immigration enforcement to the federal government and that the cooperation required in the bill would be expensive for local governments to carry out and would harm the cooperation local police get from people in immigrant communities."

Congregations rang their bells to celebrate the 250th anniversary along with the Boston Old North Church to honor America’s historic struggle against tyranny. Never more important as it is again today.

I'm very happy with my latest haul. Who likes a random mix of #historicalfiction, with real history & can appreciate a good #thriller. Find them on Bluesky! @urrealism.bsky.social @pronounced-ing.bsky.social @amytan.bsky.social @davidgrann.bsky.social @karinslaughter.com #booksky #bookclubfriends

AZ-"The students were not afforded their right to due process by not giving any notice of the changes to their legal status or allowing them the opportunity to respond."

“The parents don’t have child care today. And those kids are missing out on programming.” With my first child, Head Start was such a support while I worked and finished my college education. Now funding is stolen that was granted by Congress to the program, as part of his "efficiency" efforts.

"A device installed on the roof of the GSA is a transceiver that communicates with Elon Musk’s private Starlink satellite network. The Starlink equipment raises questions about what Musk and his efficiency czars are doing at GSA. The network is not approved for use in most gov't computer systems."

"El Salvador has recently allowed Republican members of Congress inside CECOT, as well as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The country denied that same access to the senator...the country’s vice president told Van Hollen that the Trump administration is paying to keep him there."

Just one more chapter Nana? I'm reading a new buy from @poisonedpenbooks.bsky.social. The King's Messenger, @susannakearsley.bsky.social. I love the history of the era & this one doesn't disappoint. Kearsley writes rich well detailed characters with a fully developed plot. #booksky #dogsofbluesky

Felon47 was saying that China doesn't hold the cards? Well... China Halts Critical Exports as Trade War Intensifies. Beijing has suspended exports of certain rare earth minerals and magnets that are crucial for the world's car, semiconductor, and aerospace. www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

We rely on China for several types of medications. Things like blood thinners, heart medications, and antihistamines to antibiotics. Not to mention all of the medical equipment and supplies, like IVs and injector pens. Will the 145% tariffs be enough to create a backlash from Felon47's supporters.

It looks like mom came home with more books. #caturday #catsofbluesky

Typically a safe investment, bonds are taking a hit now as well. "Normally in times of economic turmoil, we would see stocks sell off and investors go to bonds. That didn't happen. We saw investors selling stocks and bonds. And that is really a red flag..."

"One of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency lieutenants working in the Social Security Administration has been pushing dubious claims about noncitizens voting, apparently using access to data that court records suggest DOGE isn't supposed to have."

"The acting head of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service plans to resign over a new agreement to share the tax data of undocumented immigrants with Homeland Security personnel."

The same people that are silent now wouldn't have tolerated any of the behavior from Obama we see today from Felon47. The guy couldn't even wear a tan suit. Of course, he wouldn't have even wanted to do the same things as he's a much better human being. #truthspeaker
