The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House. Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

Thanks to Dr. Thomas for standing with Iowans facing huge health insurance premium hikes if Congress does nothing. This isn’t politics, it’s about real lives on the line. We need action, not a shutdown or more excuses from our Iowa representatives.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

“one day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.” that was Omar El Akkad’s tweet. 2 years later, i’m preparing to discuss this with the senior center’s book club. 📚

This is what we have turned into👇👇 Fox News congratulated George Santos on getting out of prison after his commutation. He was convicted of ruining the lives of disabled veterans by stealing their charity money. That's what they're celebrating. 🤦‍♂️Every veteran should hear this as too..the world

FRIENDS REUNITED. Simba is back with Rey A at ADIWS after a brief stay in hospital and the boys were delighted to see each other today! Inseparable since their rescue from a circus cage in Peru 11 years ago, there was lots of head rubbing and nuzzling as the senior citizens were reunited.

Atchoum: Mom, I’ve got a riddle for you — what has a full mouth and one paw in the air? Mom: Funny guy… I’ll never guess that one 🙄 ***** Atchoum : Mom, j’ai une devinette pour toi : qu’est-ce qui a la bouche pleine et une patte en l’air ? Mom : Petit comique… je ne pourrai jamais deviner 🙄

For those of you wondering how Salem is doing. She really really loves cuddles and she’s still purrs like a very good engine. Sound on. Timeline cleanse.

In so many ways people are demanding you play stupid.

Last week our local humane society took in 28 cats from a woman who had gotten in over her head with too many litters. They require a lot of care to get them healthy and adoptable - please consider a donation if you can! www.hsccvt.org/donate

Great day to show what you believe in. Speak your truth. Show you are prepared to fight against authoritarian rule. If you’re marching, having a teach-in,organizing, or resting for future battles, do it with the conviction that we will not give in, that we stand on the side of justice.And stay safe.

It's me Oliver the menace and I have a new box! Happy #Caturday everyone.

It was only eight days ago that 300 federal agents descended on a Chicago apartment complex at 3:00AM on a Tuesday morning, zip tying its residents (some of them CHILDREN) and denying them the opportunity call a lawyer. Don't let the never-ending shit-news-cycle get in your way of remembering that.
