Since there’s a pink theme going, here’s some Cleome from last summer. Love how they catch the light, especially as the sun goes down. (I’m late cause Olympic figure skating consumed me)

Why I Still Dare to Raise a Jewish Child The number of mornings that I wake up, look at my sweet Zusha, and feel that I am betraying him by raising him as a Jew keeps growing: Have I condemned him to a life of trauma because he is Jewish?

My SIL wrote this article:
“Oct 7th came about 2 weeks before my wife’s scheduled conversion to Judaism….a question kept rising within me: Should I ask my wife to cancel her conversion, so that Jewish trauma wouldn’t claim her, too—and, through her, claim my son?”

I love this Irish music version of Streets of Minneapolis. Check it out! youtu.be/H4o0Y4wH7FY?...

My favorite sport to watch is figure skating, and my favorite of all is ice dancing. I actually subscribed to Peacock so I don’t miss any of it. Our ice dancing couple may take the Gold this year, they are delightful to watch.

Whoa. What we are seeing in plain sight has been this way for a long time.

You have the best team! I’m thinking back to when you didn’t have the field hospital or on-site vets. You can make a rescue like this because you’ve laid the groundwork for it. When Tina’s Hospital is complete more amazing stories are ahead, more dogs saved. Thank you Happy Doggo!

Outstanding ad, I hope other Dems use this messaging and mean it like Harry does.

Thanks for the reminder!

I’m smiling! So cool. I love the photos of all the dogs who’ve crossed the rainbow bridge, the bamboo “apartments” and the dogs! Would love to see a longer video so I can take it all in!

What are my top priorities for 2026? I'll tell ya! 👇🏻

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity.

As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous.

As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime.

As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

Gov. Evers' 2026 Legislative Agenda to Lower Costs for Families: Provide property tax relief and prevent property tax increases for Wisconsin homeowners. Eliminate the sales tax on over-the-counter medications and everyday household items, like diaper and toothpaste, crack down on health insurers to cut healthcare costs and end surprise billing, lower prescription drug prices, prevent price gouging, and cap the insulin copay at $35.

Paychecks aren't going as far as they used to, especially with President Trump's reckless trade wars and on-again, off-again tariff taxes.

I'm urging the Legislature to join me in commonsense solutions to lower out-of-pocket costs for working families and seniors.

Wisconsin receives funding for healthcare in rural areas The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) has received a first-year award from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for $203,670,005 as part of the Rural Health Transformatio...

Our work to expand access to affordable healthcare has never been more important, and I'm proud we could secure these new investments to continue bolstering our efforts to ensure folks can get the care they need when and where they need it.

THIS is a post about the CR. Call your reps and senators and tell them not to fund this government.

Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities.

That’s why I’m joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for her impeachment.

We deserve better, she’s gotta go.

Fantastic!

I watched the ice skating competition. Music, artistry, athleticism, beauty. A calming antidote for the day.

YouTube video by Belle of the Ranch Let's talk about a Christmas Carol and its lessons....

Belle breaks down Dickens, best analysis I’ve heard! youtu.be/VTW_cFJePpU?...

Perfectly expressed!

Don’t forget. Biden’s DoJ was investigating uncharged third parties in the Epstein files up until the last minute. Trump shut down the investigation, sent the files to DC, & fired the prosecutors. They went through them, redacted Trump’s name, then elected not to release them and closed the matter.

You have to be committed to be a vegan in December, unless you’re living in California.

You’ve hooked me in already! Your photos are exquisite, as always.

If you’ve been thinking about submitting to the Rights in Reel Time Challenge… consider this your reminder!

I’m judging this year and would love to see your take on the First or Fourth Amendment.

One of my favorites!

I do a version of blah blah blah when singing familiar tunes to my patients that I really do know by heart, but my ADHD brain can lose focus at any time for no reason. The important thing is to mumble through confidently, as demonstrated above.
