I bet the maga nationalist christians (aka Nat. C's) approve of this. www.wbaltv.com/article/trum...

Our Pumpkin went to his final vet appointment today. He became seriously ill several weeks ago, including organ failure, and was under the care/close supervision of his vet and us. He managed a few more good weeks with us to say goodbye. His passing was very gentle. We will miss this sweet ol' boy.

These people are sick.

Trump is illegally attacking boats allegedly carrying drugs. He brags about being tough on drug dealers. Meanwhile, he pardons the former Honduran president — a man convicted in American court of bringing hundreds of tons of cocaine to the U.S. You can’t make this stuff up.

They wouldn't be in danger of doxxing if they weren't violating human rights and our Constitutional laws.

Over and over, Jesus made it clear: food is not something people need to prove themselves worthy of. This is not about humanity deserving to be fed but about the inhumanity of those withholding the meal. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/jesus-fed-...

Thanks to Donald Trump, here’s how this tax season will go: TurboTax and H&R Block will raise their prices and rake in huge profits by ripping American taxpayers off.

Killing shipwrecked survivors is a war crime. There must be an investigation and accountability, including for Secretary Hegseth who lied.

"spontaneous"? so that tells us he uses the word all the time but forgot to hide his truth this time.

I wonder how much trump made in that deal? $$$$

How to speak white nationalist...

The only people still actively supporting him are White Supremacists and Pedophiles. Period. #FuckTrump

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Howard County public schools will open two hours late on Tuesday. Morning sessions of half-day Pre-K and RECC are canceled. The district will re-evaluate the decision by 7:30 a.m. www.wbaltv.com/article/mary...

So there we were, roaming around in the moonlit night, temps already low enough to turn the grass icy, trying to lure the delivery guy to the right address. His GPS was taking him to an address behind ours (through the woods). Finally found him at the next-door neighbor. It happens. 😄

New developments! 😉

The NYT

@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

In case you needed even more motivation to vote in the Midterm elections... #AccountabilityIsComing

Yes we have a problem with it along with members of your own party.

This isn’t “government efficiency”. It’s neglect—plain and simple.  Our communities deserve far better than an administration that treats their lives as an afterthought. (3/3)

For 36 years, leaders from both parties have recognized this day. But this year, Donald Trump didn’t think it was even worth a few minutes of his time. Instead, his administration is slashing lifesaving funding and stripping essential resources from the very people who depend on them.   (2/3)

Today is World AIDS Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness and supporting the individuals, families, and communities impacted by HIV.   (1/3)

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now. Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers. Shameful.

She said it all.

Meet two heroes of our times.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

ICE’s arrests of foreign spouses at green-card interviews are not enforcement—they’re institutionalized cruelty. Detaining lawful immigrants mid-process dismantles due process and weaponizes family unity. This isn’t security; it’s tyranny hiding in bureaucracy. #StopFamilyTears #DueProcessNow

A right wing political podcaster gets assassinated at a college event, and the flags are at half staff. A National Guard member is murdered, another severely shot, and the flags are ONLY half staff in West Virginia?! Who does this government really support? #veterans #military #news

With weak people, it always eventually comes down to their willingness to have others kill for them. Now it is suspected drug smugglers, eventually it will be No Kings protestors and “get out the vote” activists in 2026/2028. Remember Trump wanted to shoot protestors in the legs during his last term

Sen. Eric Schmitt: "This is the language of a color revolution where you're calling on military men and women to disobey orders."

Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

If your doctor decided you needed an MRI (indicating concern about something serious) and you claim that you didn't ask why or what part of your body he wanted to look at, you are: 1. Really stupid; or 2. Dangerously detached from reality; or 4. Lying; or 4. All three. 🎯

Donald, on his way—again—to the golf course to bring down prices at the grocery store for us. What a selfless hero.

I looked Trump's Education Secretary Linda McMahon dead in the eye and asked, “Do you think you can shut down the Department of Education?” She said, “No, I don’t have the legal authority to do that.” Yet here we are. Linda McMahon should resign.

Today is World AIDS Day. The White House ignored the AIDS crisis when it began because a Republican (Reagan) was president. The United States is no longer observing World AIDS Day because another Republican (Trump) is president. #Bigots

Keep it classy, Donald.

Thanks so much to everyone who bought my books or read them on Kindle Unlimited last month! I appreciate your support! It makes this author a happy creator! 😊💙📚

“The only people who get angry when hearing service members being told to ignore illegal orders are people who intend to issue illegal orders.”

Pumpkin is managing but we don't think he's getting better. He's eating (not a lot) and snuggling. We will love him while we can.

This has been since 2016 and I'm okay with it. The magas who worship trump, especially those christo-fascists who idolize him, have shown us that they value racism, bigotry, homophobia, and hate over inclusion and love. I'd rather they not be in my life. open.substack.com/pub/johnpavl...

13yrs ago we moved from Jordan to Kuwait. 2 adults, 2 kids, a crap-ton of baggage (we shipped a lot, but had weeks of living out of suitcases ahead of us), and 3 very vocal cats. The kids and I liked drawing pictures to pass the time in airports, and guess who just wrangled cats thru security?😆💙😸😸😸

Kaine: "These two Guard members should've been at home at Thanksgiving celebrating Thanksgiving with their families, not deployed in a political deployment to do law enforcement in DC that the DC police and other local law enforcement agencies can do ... I mourn for them."
