We did! He was my shadow, but sadly, he passed away last year. I adopted Aoife and Murphy, a bonded pair of litter mates, about 11 months ago and they're pretty good cats.

“I like to be a gentleman. It’s important to be chic.” After the Louvre heist, a photo of a dapper man became an internet sensation. Now we know who he is, what brought him to the Louvre — and why he typically reserves his fedora for weekends and special occasions. nyti.ms/47Co8C1

The GOP is anti-science, anti-data, and anti-learning. So no, they’re not going to learn anything.

I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world? Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

Today we remember and honour the brave souls who gave everything for our freedom. I stand on soil shaped by their sacrifice, in a home their courage made possible—a land I was lucky to choose, where my heart belongs, overflowing with gratitude for Canada’s peace, hope, and freedom. Lest we forget 🇨🇦

Way too many voters have failed to inform themselves and simply vote on a gut feeling. The fascist GOP makes sure it will take decades to fix the damage they do knowing voters will turn against Democrats if they don't fix everything in the first month.

The thing to understand about this is that this catastrophe in the UK has redounded to the political benefit of the very same people and political movement that pushed for it! Extremely perverse.

I'm not a veteran, but if I were I think I'd be pretty offended hearing the bone spurs guy lump himself in with the men and women who've served this country.

Mike Johnson is a piece of shit. That’s all. That’s the whole post.

It's literally a plagiarism machine.

Trump: "If we die, we must die and we as men we die without complaining."

He still doesn’t know “God Bless America”

Donald Trump has reportedly pardoned high-profile attorneys accused of joining in his plot to try to steal the 2020 election, along with dozens of so-called fake electors. The pardons were announced by Ed Martin, the president’s pardon attorney and former “Stop the Steal” organizer.

In the end, the Democrats essentially got nothing, and Trump notches another victory over opponents who convinced themselves that resistance is futile. By folding, Democrats rewarded Trump’s hostage-taking and emboldened his bullying. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

The plight of Dreamers used to be emblematic of the obvious failures of our immigration system. Now, they’ve become targets— "betrayed by the only country [they have] ever called home.”

Dump the establishment Dems like Schumer and go tell them to go fuck themselves when they say Progressives can't win a national election.

Project 2029 Let’s do this!! 🔥 #SheShed

In an effort to spin the shutdown deal, the New York Times says there was no agreement among democrats about what kind of policy was needed to re-open the government. As a social experiment, can you name the policy we all agreed on to re-open the government?

The math ain’t mathing. M’fers are just using our $ for their own fun and games.

Three federal worker unions took the Trump administration to court over a “loyalty test” added to job applications.

Dr Oz talking about obesity, diabetes and dementia while Trump is slumped over like a man minutes from death is supremely funny content

Today's a good day to reach out to the trans people in your life. Every day is, but today especially they need to know that you're in their corner.

There is a distinct possibility that some people are too stupid to participate in a democracy

Yes, the Trump administration is thinking about your family—but in ways that are largely unhelpful and somewhat creepy.

Kindness is the quiet bravery to stay open when the world hardens, to offer warmth when others turn away — a soft light in a loud world. It takes courage to open your heart, to meet harshness with grace, and to keep choosing love, again and again. Kindness is strength wrapped in love. 💖✨

The administration that routinely claims it does what it wants how it wants and how dare you ask it to explain —THAT administration is “forced” ?

The quote is from a book I wrote about the Cold War. The Domino Theory - as we learned from revelations from Soviet and other Communist archives - wasn't wrong. (Overblown in our minds at the time, perhaps, but not wrong.)

As the Trump administration tries to withhold SNAP benefits from families all across the country, it also plans to make it much more difficult for blue collar workers to qualify for disability 👇

Complete insanity. Right in front of her daughter. This thug has no ID or anything. What are we doing?

Trump wants to have the power to write ballot requirements at the state level, which is an unconstitutional separation of powers violation

Point out the hypocrisy at every turn, there’s right and there’s wrong. Night and day.

Regan walks back the Fairness In Broadcasting Act, opens the door for right-wing conspiracy theorists, Trump thrives in a world where truth is irrelevant. It’s clear as day.

This is about as on-the-nose as it's possible to get without it being a Versailles, Romanovs, or Titanic themed party.

It was never “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” It was also a clear warning of what was to come.
