What I would love more than anything for the holidays is for our two most shy mama cats to find their forever homes. Porsche, mom of the Auto Club kittens, since May this year. Shoyu, who is the mama of last year’s wonderful little grass Miso & Dashi, has been in our rescue since October *2024.*

Aww man. My phone just served up this date “through the years”. The last three years I’ve been traveling for a few days in December, to get me out of the horrible holiday mess we make here Rats. I wish I was somewhere else this year too. Is Xmas over yet?

Americans should be requires to show ID and proof of citizenship at all times, unless they are at a gun show.

This guy cracks me up. As he falls asleep, his head (which was fully on my lap) slides further and further off my leg. Buddy, this can’t be comfortable!

I should not be this excited about going to bed early on a Friday night

Successfully got myself Novavax today. Yes, that’s what my appointment was for, but it’s not uncommon for CVS to give you whatever they have got instead of

I wish I was as passionate about something as the Republicans are about taking away people's healthcare.

The Washington Post Editorial Board Is Spectacularly Awful at Legal Analysis Since owner Jeff Bezos overhauled the editorial board earlier this year, it has been very good at cranking out billionaire-friendly propaganda. It is quite bad at everything else.

Fuck the institutionally transphobic The Atlantic. I hope you all lose your jobs.

this is a general warrant and it's specifically the kind of warrant the framers passed the 4th amendment to outlaw

Yes! Several of our libraries are competing to build the best gingerbread version of their own branch.

When your beliefs are so weak chuds on the internet can bait you into embracing fascism.

One simple questions to my Catholic brothers and sisters in the United States: Do you believe the example of Christ calls us to hate, or to love?

Ever once in a while I think I should subscribe to the Atlantic, then something like this comes along to remind me why I don't.

This isn't about children. And anything requiring age verification for websites is essentially forcing that site to either go under, ban all potentially adult content, or ban all users from states with age verification laws.

If DC had representation in Congress, I’d be calling my rep to vote HELL NO on KOSA

Is antifa in the room with us right now

15 years. The GOP has promised an ACA alternative for 15 years That includes 7 years of it being 2 weeks away" ... The truth is that their replacement plan is already here... And really, it's very simple: "If you're not wealthy. You just die" www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

It is so sad to see what Bezos did to this newspaper.

Tinsel is also terrible for wildlife once you dispose of the tree! Other holiday dangers for cats: Lillies (do not even bring them in your home!) Poinsettias Essential Oils (Lavender and others) Grapes/Raisins Garlic & Onions Chocolate

I feel like he's going to judge my taste in music...

is there a Spotify Wrapped that shows you how many children were trafficked because of Spotify's ICE advertisements

at this point AI is the equivalent of your friend eating something disgusting and asking 800 times if you wanna try it

Cloud, Phyll, Nettle, and Pyewacket are all available for adoption now! All of them are extremely sweet, social, good with cats and dogs (Phyll would prefer dogs that are small and don’t want to bother him). Please help them find their homes for the holidays ❤️ Elkton, MD crits4cats.petfinder.com

The Heritage Foundation, has released their "strategic priorities" for 2026. This plan has 9 areas including focuses on getting HF ideology into the education system & attacking gay marriage, voting rights, & women's rights. #Pinks

Notable in this story: the store’s assistant manager had studied his rights: “told WWL Louisiana he has been researching what rights businesses have during immigration enforcement operations in case agents were to show up at his store.”

What if Skynet, but stupid.

Tech bros shocked that normal human beings enjoy thinking

Fucking evil

The monopolies of the Gilded Age led Congress to establish the FTC as an independent agency. Its independence is meant to insulate it from political pressure so it can check corporate power and protect the American people. Trump wanting to upend this is very telling.

the senate republican proposal to address aca subsidies includes a ban on essential health benefit coverage for sex transition-related medical care

GIVE ME MY THREE SECONDS!!

What did you think would happen when you restricted access to care?

On the other hand: Jesus Christ could be making these arguments against the Trump administration and we'd still lose in front of this court.

I am not live posting the whole argument here because I want to listen closely to Trump v. Slaughter. But the solicitor general for Trump just said the point here in killing the independence of agencies like the FTC is that executive branch officers must “fear and obey” the president. Wow. #SCOTUS
