Cats Are Better Than Men Because

I think the Dem governors and mayors can and should do more, legally and nonviolently. some ideas off the top of my head
- order DOT to close roads near ICE facilities
- conduct routine power and water maintenance to facilities
- mire them in endless legal knots
- refuse any support whatsoever

Over the weekend ICE abducted an NIH contractor when he showed up to a courthouse for his green card hearing. He is documented. His wife is a citizen.

He is also member of the skeleton crew of animal care staff that works through a shutdown, to ensure the health and wellbeing of research animals.

You can go your own way

Bringing you an update on the National Guard from my run yesterday.

A truly remarkable feat, when you really sit down and appreciate everything that went into this image.

Hopefully one day things like this become commonplace.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Children killed in Texas’ July floods are still missing. A community mourns. Yet, Abbott yields to Trump and sends the Texas National Guard to harass Chicago communities instead of keeping them in state to help.

Trump's regime cannot continue to weaponize our military and terrorize our cities.

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

From here on out every member of our military will be in shape and clean-shaven. And have granite jaws and the highest cheekbones. And legs that go on for days and shapely calves and an ass that just won’t…

Saul Zabar, Smoked Fish Czar of Upper West Side, Dies at 97

I grew up going to Zabar's. So many of my childhood memories center around the best lox in NYC (which is saying something). With Saul Zabar's passing today, the Upper West Side has lost a legend who turned his parent's humble store into a culinary institution.

The police seem to get their ethics from the very top

#FEMA folks are organizing a rally. It’s a ways off but let’s save the date. Share this shamelessly & let everyone know whether it’s your fellow FEMA employees or allies in the DMV area.

Just saw a pile of shit on the ground and I named it JK Rowling

Did Bondi never receive any punishment or censure for taking that bribe?

Stop private equity from buying single-family homes.

Instead, give young Americans low-interest mortgages & downpayment help to buy them.

Homes for young families, not Wall Street.

That’s new economic patriotism.

Your constant reminder that bribe for hire Pam Bondi isn’t an attorney general by any means, she’s a criminal who was installed by a criminal to cover up his crimes and the crimes of other powerful rich criminals. Any testimony she gives is a complete bullshit perjury rant.

I need people to stop referring to conversion "therapy" as something that's been discredited or doesn't work. That's like saying torture is "discredited" or doesn't work. That they don't work for their stated purpose is secondary to the fact that they DO work for their REAL purpose:
