Go get 'em Democratic Senator Adam Smith!

Do you feel you need some help to process last week before you head into this week? Me too. I've got you.

Oh, look, I found something to make me as angry as the "harm reduction encourages drug use". The Trump regime thinks a disabled adult should live on their own on less than $1,000/month or live in an institution rather than live with family.

I simply cannot articulate how angry this makes me. CRETINS!!

Thanks Maureen. Great colors!!

Hello friends. It has been an arduous recovery journey for a writer. post-surgery. I've put this together for all of us. This has been a hard 5 weeks! Stand strong resisters!

Good morning! It is #caturday !! Big Red here will not help with your chore list. He's the overseer! Have a blessed day, everyone.

Some talking points for those so inclined to use them.

For 60 years, this Catholic Charity in Miami has fed and sheltered immigrant children. Here is a thought--for all the Trump voters who have crossed over now, send your contributions to this charity! MAKE THE REGIME BLINK! Daily Beast

Good morning, Bluesky fliers! Now, it is up to you to make it a good day!

Why does he have to be such a constant drain on all of us?

Harry was in the zone for our times here. Don't miss this inspiring yet cautionary take from a writer who knows what he is talking about -- and knows who we are and what we are up against.

Your second cup of coffee is waiting. Have a great day.

It's the start of a new week. What will you focus your time, talents, and resources on?

What a week!! Go with me here to delve into our thoughts and feelings about it and then to gather strength from each other.

Happy #Caturday!! Don't worry, my friends. A little bit of an... interesting" hair day is okay. It might be your greatest strength. What should we name this obviously strong fighter for democracy and the Republic? (Photo: Candle Cat and Cauldron )

Today's bon mot, "June 6, 1944 D-Day prayer, President Roosevelt said that American soldiers “fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate.”

Good morning bluesky fliers!

On genocide from Prof. Timothy Snyder, one of the world's experts on authoritarianism.

Hey Bluesky fliers! I'm back! I got hacked and getting back on with all of you has been a challenge. But now? Good to see you. Let me know how you are! I'm going to go read the news. Expect a lot of updates.

Gathering cats for #caturday!

@misskitty.art Miss Kitty was my original role model. I still want to run a saloon!!

Ok SCOTUS. Now, what are you going to do with your boy?

It's CATURDAY! Her name is Gertrude. It is a Germanic name. It means Spear of Strength. She is NOT happy with the way things are going right now over here in the USA, ya know? I'm changing my profile pic.

Racist bitch!

I could not stay silent!

Huh. Another black man.

My new favorite. Of course, he's an existentialist. Constitutional and SCOTUS nerds--good read!!!

Be present, whoever you are. No suicides!

Good morning friends!

NYTimes: Trump vows to maneuver around tariff ruling. Ha! That's okay people. He never honors his vows! www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02... 😆

The soul of the Senate, Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock.

This is, in my humble opinion, the very best cover of Creep--Danielle Ponder. Women and girls, please remember what this feels like the next time you are tempted to disrespect or ridicule an adult man, a young man or a boy.

Good morning friends! My thoughts here are maintaining what we know to be true by standing firm. Some things they just can't take away.

Now let's hold them accountable!

Good news from the Bulwark! This survey adds to a growing mountain of evidence that “kitchen table issues” are not, in fact, all that matters to voters, and that they care about their rights and freedoms and our democratic system as well."

for those who tend to read deeply and want to keep up with the US Healthcare System, this is from Becker's. Malpractice suits are driving hospital closures. Tort reform is the solution, they say. How about better, more competent care? www.beckershospitalreview.com/finance/why-...
