CARTOON OF THE DAY 🇺🇸 #NoKingsInAmerica (From @billbramhall.bsky.social )

#Nokings in NJ across from the trump golf course in Pine Hill. My sister and I are up here to help out Mom after her hospitalization, so we looked for a protest and found this one. There was a huge turnout in this little town.

In 9th Cir argument on appeal of Judge Immergut order, Judge Nelson opines, “The Pres gets to direct his resources as he deems fit, and it just seems a little counterintuitive to me that Portland can come in and say, ‘No. You need to do it differently.’” Really crazy statement and a bad augury.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Finding the joy in every day.

A meaningful fast to those who observe.

All 6 of them!

Happy birthday to the best man I know. Still rocking at 73. Love you so, Michael.

Imagine the response if a Dem Administration removed every top general and admiral from every US military post all around the world (including conflict zones), in order to force them to attend a big in-person meeting in DC (with a former cable news co-host). www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Today is Knoxie's 3rd birthday. I don't know most of my cats' birthdays because they are all rescues, but Knoxie's feral mama came looking for help when she was in labor, and Knoxie was born in my bathroom as the moon rose on the Autumnal Equinox (thus Knoxie's name).

How about that? A victory for people who actually read.

It’s Back-To-School Month! Remember, reading is fundamental for ages 5 through 79!

What if Pam Bondi did decide to open an investigation into why I stopped posting on Twitter? Would the legacy media treat it with outrage or with skeptical bemusement? Or would everyone just look away and hope it doesn’t happen to them next? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/im-n...

Russell was a student of mine many years ago. He always had a big smile, and though his mischievous personality often landed him in trouble, he was well loved by peers and teachers alike. This is so sad. If you can help, please do. gofund.me/b65fad36

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

Let me whisper in your...nose?

This is a growing scandal, as sworn testimony by GOP officials is in direct tension with Texas' new position vis-a-vis DOJ. Follow this story closely. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is a go fund me for a dear friend of mine who was severely affected by the floods in Kerr County, Texas. Jeannie does so much for so many. Thank goodness she and her husband were able to get to higher ground in time. If you can help, that would be wonderful, and thank you gofund.me/fdc83530

Please share widely and help if you can. This nonprofit does so much good and is the brainchild of one of my former student's mom. www.kens5.com/article/news...

This won’t succeed but it is not normal. This is very dangerous. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Cats out of the bag...one went in, and 2 came out ...cat multiplication is real.

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

BEST EVER!!!!!

San Antonio showed up big today with thousands at the No Kings protest.

She's a puppy killer and a sadist--nothing beautiful or delicate about her.

Perfect!

Safe and sound at Wildlife Rescue. I found this baby after the big storm. His mama had been run over, and he was all alone. He stomped his feet at me but allowed me to wrap him up in a towel and put him in a cat carrier.

A total outrage. A judge needs to dismiss this at the first opportunity. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"Across Texas, voters rejected the book banners, the billionaires, and the bullies. They shut the door on culture war candidates and told the MAGA machine. Not in our city, not in our schools, not anymore." www.lonestarleft.com/p/texas-runo...

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...
