Happy in retirement that allows me to pursue what I love.History (ancient through Renaissance),archeology, classical music, books, historic sites. Politics, women's rights. Looking to learn from legal experts and historians in this difficult time.

Did Obama ever call it Obama care? Repubs coined the term to mock it.
If we are talking 3rd terms...OBAMA '28.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Thank you for another picture of Zack. I was thinking of him. You gave him care, warmth, and safety in his short life, and cuddles with his sibs. You do wonderful work with these kittens.

Everyone is doing good, nothing new to report, here’s a Satsuma for your Sunday evening. I am still having a tough go of it mentally/emotionally and am probably going to need some time. This good boy helps.

It is wonderful to see the young Missy. I only got to follow her for the last year. Sincere condolences on the loss of your brave girl. Take comfort in what you have done for cats. And for those of us who delight in kittie pics. They bring smiles in difficult times.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

NYT headline: As Congress Lies Town, Trump Walks All Over it. Subhed: He Seizes Power in Spending, Oversight, and National Security, While Republicans Shrug.

Now this is a headline.

Front page lead in NYT.

And very strong, no-BS story by @julianbarnes.bsky.social Barnes and Catie Edmondson.

Respect, to all involved. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/u...

Update on Satsuma please. I can't adopt him, but this lovely pic is now my wallpaper. I wish him well and he makes me smile often during the day. And pretty Violet?

This may get missed in the news today. Don’t let it. Full on Manifest Destiny from an official govt account similar in style to a Russian/German propaganda poster.

Cruz is an offense by simply walking into a room. And what do you think of "as fast as humanly possible?" Should he move as fast as a leopard, an ant or some other critter.

Over the last 50 years, the share of Americans in the middle class has fallen by nearly 20 percent. The total wealth and power held by the middle class has been cut in half. Add to this inflation and it is clear why Americans are so frustrated.

This is a lie only told by people who hate NYC, do not use its tremendous resources for a productive life, and never ride the subways. Another attempt to divide the country, city v. rural,blue v. red. Another vicious lie.

This is a courtesy post for our partner rescue.
Sable has been available for adoption for a long time (2 years!) but the right home has never come along for her. She is very sweet, playful, bold and loves people, but she would just prefer to be an only cat.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

Today’s Scooter update/recap comes in musical form :3

(Video description: a montage of clips of Scooter, a little black kitten who was hit by a car and paralyzed, chronicling his recovery and how he regained use of his legs and showing him progressing to walking, even running).

Since Donald Trump is freaking out about Bruce Springsteen calling this the most corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration, it would be a shame if this video was shared even more widely....

Maryland! A friend is volunteering with the PG County animal shelter and says Lucy is the sweetest baby. She has malformed hind legs and keeps getting overlooked because of it, but is a complete lovebug. Look at this face! Her ID number is A556355 and she needs you!

My Open Letter to Elon Musk From Marc | Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are β€œundermining civilization.” This is my response.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Defiantly,

ME
