I'm leaving the fundraiser open because it depends on if he'll need anything more aggressive for the kidney inflammation, which might be a referral to a specialist.
It's so good to see him playing and growing. I just hope his pain is getting better too.
He loves to take over my lap.

I plan on watching @moveon.org and @meidastouch.com #SOTU These are NOT normal times and I applaud this effort and every member of Congress, who are courageous enough to join this event. When we look back in history, we will see who stood up for the PEOPLE!! What are you going to be doing tonight?

Blue26.org Not a PAC. Just helping raise money for Democratic candidates to help save democracy.

πŸŽ‰ Announcing the Blue26.org State of the Union Fundraising Challenge!

It’s pretty simple: I’m looking to raise at least $10,000 for Democrats during the 2026 SOTU this evening.

That’s pretty much it…pick a page, any page, and chip in whatever you can to whatever candidates you prefer. 1/

Worth mention that there will still be three times that many secret police roaming the streets of Minneapolis shooting and assaulting everything that moves.

This is like taking the faucet turned to so blistering hot that it’s giving you third degree burns and turning it down to second degree burns.

What I need Congress to understand is that like Trump, much of what ICE does in full view of the cameras is already illegal.

We don’t need more documentation of the crimes. We need consequences for the crimes.

Until you have a plan for that, I don’t want to hear about cameras and training.

In fact, the recent wave peak was about double the estimates of each of the first 3 waves. Most infections are on the back end of waves. Repeat infections add cumulative harms.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

I have to take him into the vet tomorrow for his 2 week checkup, so hopefully the tests will also be trending in the right direction.

#Minterland friends
If you’re able to contribute to little Gilbert’s treatment costs, that would be so appreciated & would make a huge impact - even $5 makes a difference ❀️
But regardless, please share this link - the more eyes that see this, the more likely the target will be achieved

🎢 Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis 🎢
