@angryblacklady.blacksky.app today I thank you for #SelfCareWhitePeopleMusicThursday on a Monday.

'LIVES WILL BE LOST' | Nessel joins lawsuit alleging discrimination, unlawful funding cuts from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Dana Nessel and 20 states sue HUD, alleging illegal cuts to homelessness funding that threaten to displace thousands amid winter's approach.

The Continuum of Care grant program is the backbone of efforts to combat homelessness across Michigan and throughout the country.

Word.

So, I did a thing:

I just said to myself OUTLOUD, "Why are there all these cats in my timeline?"

Schiff: "One thing that got lost in the horrendous treatment of Alex Padilla today was what Kristi Noem said at that press conference in saying it was necessary to have these troops there to 'liberate the city from the socialists' ... the fact they would use the military that was is unconscionable."

CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From Adam Zygus)

Every time I see this man I think he's a character on a SNL skit.

Project 2025 in action. Tell me again how I worry too much because these things won't really happen. So let's say Congress finally gets their heads out and appropriates funds to this program - he doesn't fucking care about Congress, regulations, laws, the Constitution, none of it. Who stops him?

The notice we received as they sent our youth home: "In alignment with the... Executive Order 14222. “Implementing the President's [DOGE] Initiative,” AmeriCorps NCCC is working within new operational parameters that impact the program’s ability to sustain program operations. "

My husband: I wish I would have started taking a tally in January of the number of times you use the f word during the evening news. It has definitely increased.
Me: Fuck those guys.

I lost 2 pieces-the two i thought i might. I need to just be patient.

Bisque fire going now. First firing with ware after changing the elements. I’m a little worried that things were not dry enough and I’ll have some explosions. Fingers crossed everything comes out in one piece.

Today marks 21 years of my MS diagnosis. I am so lucky to have very few symptoms and my relapses have been few. I continue to be grateful for my support system and those things I can do to find joy in this very dark time.

4 mugs with matte glaze on the top half (red, goldenrod, moss, seafoam) and black or brown engobe on the bottom with sgraffito flowers.

Three stoneware tumblers glazed various colors (smoky merlot, jade, sapphire float) on top half and interior and left unglazed on bottom half.

I am not accepting any "goodies in a bag" from this fuckin guy.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

I have to agree with Pete.

I hope this is true @peters.senate.gov. The time to stand up is now.

No one can get me screaming at my radio in my car like good ol Chuck Schumer. Time for him to go.

Peters has announced he's not running again so what's he got to lose? Disappointing.

Done!

Bonkers and bananas have become the two most used words for me daily. And also WTF is right up there.

Calls have been made to @slotkin.senate.gov and @peters.senate.gov to demand a NO vote on the House CR. Stand up for the 99%.

Fuck this guy.

Trump's CFPB just dropped its lawsuits against:

-Capital One, for cheating depositors out of $2B+ in interest
-Rocket Homes, for providing kickbacks to agents and brokers
-Vanderbilt Mortgage, for trapping customers in risky loans 

It's open season for corporate crooks.

Trump and Vance are shamefully doing Putin’s bidding right from the Oval Office. It’s an absolute disgrace. I’m filled with rage as I watch this. I stand with all of you who believe deeply in the ideals of freedom and democracy. I’m disgusted by our president bending a knee to Putin.

"Do you think he is just trying to rile people up or do you think he really thinks he's going to do that?"

Scary part is, does anyone really know?

I apologize to the American people for the threat that my Multiple Sclerosis has caused to your way of life.

Fuck off.
