Two groundhogs, one smaller than the other, sharing a head of romaine lettuce.

Here's to hope that I see my favorite neighborhood buddies soon.
Happy Groundhog Day!

DHS was created to FIGHT terrorists, not to BE terrorists. It needs to be defunded by congress in 2027, and we should select candidates who run on that platform.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

We voted to legalize it and our governor just signed a bill to put more restrictions on it. It's ridiculous. Same with abortion.

Of course it is. The state is full of people who vote against their own interests. Making other people's lives worse is more important than making their own lives better.

Supposedly because the population changed, but there was actually a small increase. I think it's part of the plan to make it harder for minority/working people to vote. 2/2

They also reduced the amount of precincts in a lot of places. I live in the suburbs of Cleveland & my city went from 5 places to vote on election day to 2.
1/2

I already only receive mail 2-3x/week because our local post office is so short staffed & overwhelmed. I worry how this will impact older voters, disabled voters, & voters in the military stationed elsewhere. But Ohio is no stranger to repub anti-voting tactics. Check out our gerrymandered maps!

You must deliver it to your county board of elections in Ohio. Individual precincts don't accept them. And there are rules about who is allowed to drop it off for you (if you need that) and a form that the person dropping it off must fill out at the board of elections.

It's like that in Ohio as well. One dropbox per county. There are 88 counties.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Every trans person--including every trans child--deserves the chance to be fully themselves. I'm so sick of seeing trans folks harmed repeatedly and unrelentingly, against all reason and scientific precedent. To my trans friends--I'm so sorry the world keeps trying to dim your light.

She is easily distracted.

The running theme between the Epstein story, banning trans healthcare for minors, religious homeschooling and the complaints about adult children estranging themselves is a fundamental American belief that children are property with no rights of their own

Did he change his name? That was David Anderson.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social: It is the responsibility of Congress to declare and authorize the use of military force. Congress has not authorized a military use of force. There has not been a case made, and I think the absence of one really speaks volumes.

Trump’s agenda pardons the powerful, protects the predators, and punishes the people.
And Black Americans are paying the price.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

They can have all my cookies! 🍪🐁

Cleveland Metroparks are awesome!

NE Ohio too!

It's between $2.80 & $3.00 near me in NE Ohio.

Nyssa and Chloé thought for sure they were the only kitties whose humans only eat plants. (Don't worry their nana will supply them with a bite of real turkey!)

I prefer this kind. Alive and well, visiting my yard. Haven't had turkey to eat in over 20 years.

I love these guys! There's a family that lives near us. They are particularly fond of broccoli and love bananas.

A four day holiday weekend! 🤣 Tell me you don't work retail, food service or emergency services without telling me you don't work in any of those sectors!

My family's recipe is different. Lots of eggs, breadcrumbs, butter, onion, parsley, celery, salt & pepper, and paprika. It's modified from my Hungarian ancestors. Used to use giblets too but we have vegetarians in the family now.
