FedEx sues U.S. for return of tariff money.

@netflix.com Do the right thing. Do not bend the knee.

Good boy needs a family.

Puppy play!

Good news!

Maximus reminds me of my Graham, who was attached to the only human contact he had in shelter, & only because she doled out kibble which he wouldn’t eat. Graham needed his person in order to begin any healing. Maximus is so handsome, and those soulful eyes! Take a chance, I think he’ll reward you.

we are here. On the ship of fools.

The Emperor has no clothes. Is this the moment the blinders come off and people see trump for what he truly is? We are rejecting what this administration wants us to see and hear. Colbert speaking out, with Kimmel & others. People are paying attention. ICE, DHS, Epstein- Trump is naked & ugly.

Only on YouTube, because FCC… Great interview! @jamestalarico.bsky.social Do more of this. I got more of you from this piece that your texts or posts. Drive the FCC nuts and turn Texas blue. Win win.

Needed- a family for Paris who will not abandon her. Really, dogs are so much better than humans sometimes.

@miafarrow.bsky.social Happy Happy Birthday! P.S. I‘d watch the whole movie for that line alone.

My copy of Master & Commander came today, and just in time. I needed to give up on the Louise Penny novel I was reading. @kafkaesque2024.bsky.social

Graham got to have a warm bath at a doggie salon today. He didn’t think it was a treat at all, but it was for me. He raised quite a ruckus but they were patient and gentle with him. He got a new squeaky from his groomer. He’s wiped out now.

@senatedemocrats.bsky.social I hope you can plainly see the problem here. Everything Republicans said about escalating, about being gentle was a lie. Not one more penny to DHS. Ever. It’s time to dismantle DHS.

“There’s the saying that history is always written by the victors. But that assumes a winner and a loser. A more accurate saying would be that history is a reflection of who had power, and how they flattered themselves.” Kevin Nguyen, in My Documents

Starting the Aubrey/Maturin series of books by Patrick O’Brian. Still waiting on delivery of the first one- Master and Commander. Ahoy! @kafkaesque2024.bsky.social

I could watch this all day, and just might!

What an expressive face! Begging for some love.

I’m snowed in, so this is great!

By Ann Telnaes, today @anntelnaes.bsky.social It’s all of them.

Alex Pretti: “…freedom is not free…”

Dilly Detention Center in Texas is Where 5 year old Liam Ramos from Minnesota is being held. Today an immigration attorney making a visit was ask to this was happening. He could hear them screaming.

Kristi Noem: “an agent‘s finger was bitten…off” Hoo buddy, that’s got to be a whopper.

Imagine that. ICE lied again.

Trump put RFK, Jr. in office and then he brings all his friends. Ugh

Whiny republicans trying to subvert the work of Jack Smith nearly put me to sleep, but @crockett.house.gov Rep. Jasmine Crockett, she snapped back. Thank you both for your service.

Jim Jordan is a turd. That’s it. That’s all.

Heads up SoCal folks

If you prefer to read, as I do, here is the transcript of PM Mark Carney’s speech at Davos.

Watching King: A Filmed Record... Montgomery to Memphis April, 1968 Chicago- military in tanks in the streets. Bayonets affixed to rifles. Mayor Daley orders shoot to kill.

Watching Cinema Paradiso. I am charmed all over again.

Another blow to the Fourth Estate. A thin skinned administration does not want you to see behind the curtain. We need these journalists.

Well, there it is. My neighborhood improvement plan. I’d like some Dems to move in. Any takers? Great mountain views

Trump: "We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition," Trump said. Rape and pillage is what he means

What a beauty! Those finely shaped legs. Her come hither eyes.

May a new year bring us peace.

Trump turning Santa Tracker calls into phone sex.

My trump loving neighbors. Unemployed, broken down truck and house in foreclosure. They don’t know they voted for all of it.

@jonathancapehart.bsky.social More David Hogg, please. I think he can wake Dems up and encourage engagement from our younger generation. Honestly, boomers need some help and some of us don’t remember our recent past.

Jazzy’s ears were just made for scritches! I see how he leans on his hoomans- simply charming. My rescue dog , Graham does this to women whenever he gets a chance. Shows his fondness and trust.

Should be reposted on every news and social media site every day. This should be the first thing every parents sees, first thing in the morning before their children go off to school.
