Thank you, Paul & Vin!

You were NOT disrespectful in any way, so I don't like the way Stephanie addressed you at the end. Yes, Baron is safe in the White House ... and so are Stephanie's kids in her posh NYC home.

Thank you, Marc and Family, for loving Bode the way he deserved to be loved. 🙏

Oh, Marc, I'm so sorry. Bode had the best most loving Dad in the whole world. Thank you for being his person. I'll be holding you and Bode in my heart through this very sad time. Godspeed Bode."May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest"

So sad. Too bad. Oh well, it's only one of them, not one of us.

Happy Birthday, Vin!

Please give our love to the children and people of Ukraine. Thank you for your compassion and kindness. We are extremely distressed at US actions.

So many places need our help right now, but this is an excellent choice. People who've been doing good works in the community for decades and will be taking in a lot of pets who need a place to stay, including many with medical needs.

Say No to Cynicism We can endure and overcome the coming onslaught, but that requires not being overwhelmed or seduced by defeatism

It’s tempting to be cynical in the age of Trump, but, as Stephen Beshloss writes, “cynicism and resignation are exactly what … the Trump sycophants, the pillagers and plunderers who despise our system of self-governance are counting on.” We the people own our democracy and must stay engaged.

Forever Never Trump My Response To Bret Stephens

Earlier this week, Bret Stephens, a house conservative at the New York Times wrote a particularly terrible piece titled “Done With Never Trump.” @therickwilson.bsky.social wrote a reply to Bret. Never Trump means Never Trump. If you agree, please share it widely.

Hi Blueskyers. I run the organization @protectdemocracy.org which aims to do just that.

Over the past decade we’ve won countless cases to protect voters and truth, helped pass legislation, and unfortunately predicted much of what’s happened.

Follow and repost so we can keep doing that here.

So much for any hope of decency.
