Well, even though I worked out today, guess I have to go buy Ben and Jerry's.

Kara says hi and gives all the gentle cuddles and smooches.

Question for law enforcement: if a hate group is made up of "former" members of a currently-designated terrorist entity does that designation carry over or is it more of a Polkaroo situation? Like, do you guys just snap your fingers and exclaim in dismay "Oh no, I missed him again!"

Yes, I am easily distracted and love re-playing games...why do you ask?

The pole for Mom's fancy new birdfeeder is in the ground. The pole was wobblier than I'd like so I set it in cement in a large plant pot. I added a little bit more to shape the top after setting it in the hole. Oh shit, I just realized I forgot to set something up to keep the dogs off. Excuse me.

The Heritage Foundation-backed anti-LGBTQ+ bigot who has staged multiple out-of-control rallies outside elementary schools in Ottawa’s west-end was in attendance at Pierre Poilievre’s closing rally tonight

Canadians looked at a man who's response to "Love in a Dangerous Time: Canada’s LGBT Purge" at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights by vowing to close and prevent such exhibits. “The museum will be there to honour our history and to tell our stories,...

BREAKING: The ROM has confirmed to me that their board director — who I reported is tied to Trump’s mass deportations — has stepped down!

It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

it's not the anti-war activists or muslim-americans who lost interest in the war after it no longer served as an issue to hurt democrats, it's the mainstream press.

And by the way, the more people speak *the harder it is to single one person out*

Not exactly great art but my brain has been mush and m focus completely shot so a silly and simple project is about all I can handle right now.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks. Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again. NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

In case someone here might need it

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

When the judge gave his order, he told Department of Justice lawyers, "This is something that you need to make sure is complied with immediately," WaPo reports. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/... Secretary of State Marco Rubio retweeted this "Oopsie... Too late" post from Bukele this morning.

Blessing your timeline with this little slice of heaven.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

“The Government of Canada cannot intervene on behalf of Canadian citizens with regard to the entry and exit requirements of another country,” said Global Affairs Canada spokeswoman Brittany Fletcher.” So you are screwed if you get arrested by Trump’s Gestapo apparently the gov can’t help!

Due to changes in shedding, fur growth & her arthritis/mobility issues the benefits of shaving Kara now significantly out weight the negatives. We've discussed it with our Vet in the past and after today's Vet visit we found a groomer. She looks so different!

Hey. Sorry, depression and general *waves at world* has been sapping all my energy. Made myself make something. Have a shiny snail. nestoftangledthread.wordpress.com/2025/03/11/s...

As a medical practitioner, where is the line? I'm supposed to discourage political discussions with clients but there is only so much redirecting I can do and I'm not going to lie when asked to provide examples of what has happened to friends and family, here and in the US.

Springfield, Ohio, sues neo-Nazis (Blood Tribe) over hate campaign against Haitians wapo.st/3Et5j86

Mind-boggling wreckage. Among the lifesaving programs now disrupted by Elon’s attack on @USAID: phase 1 trials for a possible HIV vaccine.

"Any official, including the president, who chooses to blame everything from plane crashes to wildfires on non-White, non-male people should be asked whether they believe that desegregation is to blame. Whether they believe resegregation is the answer."

Bunny! nestoftangledthread.wordpress.com/2025/02/05/b... I can see why people get frustrated doing whole armies. If I had to paint layers on every single diamond of padding on an army's worth of these I'd probably go mad. Mad as a March Hare? Damn it! I should have held off till March. LOL.

Remember kids: The transphobia, homophobia, anti-immigration, racism, abelism, misogyny, authoritarianism and outright fascism weren't deal-breakers... but the instant Trump fucked with the bottom line for Ford's big business buddies, whoah nellie, just hand him a "Canada is Not For Sale" ballcap.

1/ For the people who are asking: “Where are the protests?!” There have been many! Much of them organized by immigrants rights groups and leftists. Here’s a thread of some I have found, or know people who have attended. Feel free to add your own.

"The girls just want their message to be: silence equals death."

Viviana Barajas: “You can, quite literally, go to the library and print ‘Know Your Rights’ flyers and hand them out at your local grocery store or post them up around your block,” she said. “You can start conversations with your children, the parents on your school board and your neighbors.”

Effort number 2 …

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

It’s official: Elon Musk’s staffers have now illegally obtained classified information from the USAID office. Here’s a recap of what’s happening:

CBC's the 5th Estate is airing an episode next week featuring Valleyview's small town library and the bigotry they've been dealing with. Our local Diagolon & active club member Taylor "TJ" Kennedy is freaking out because he knows their journalists investigated him.

But I don't want to do boring homework! Whaaaaaa! nestoftangledthread.wordpress.com/2025/02/02/b... I have a plan! I mean, that plan is probably going to crash and burn and become multiple revised plans but that's how it goes. Lol.

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists. It is a deeply staggering admission of guilt and a warning to future Americans. I went to link to the inscriptions and- Well, they took the site down. www.nps.gov/places/japan...

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

They're calling it "Prebunking" and it's much more effecting than debunking. Basically, critical thinking lesson aimed at identifying misleading or outright misinformation. We need this. Badly.

Whole Foods workers in Philadelphia just accomplished something huge: they overcame Amazon's union-busting tactics and voted to form the store's first union in over four decades. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.
