Barking lunacy.

I’ll put you on to my sister. She can tell you all about it. 🙄😬

Feeling both angry and heart sick. In spite of knowing better, I let myself take democracy and the rule of law for granted. And here we are, with both under the biggest threat in my not-short lifetime.

A statement from Kamala D. Harris: Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is part of the Trump Administration’s cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division. This Administration’s actions are not about public safety —they’re about stoking fear. Fear of a community demanding dignity and due process. Protest is a powerful tool — essential in the fight for justice. And as the LAPD, Mayor, and Governor have noted, demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful. I continue to support the millions of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms.

My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.

Gosh, I never knew cats were religious. 🙀

Bishop who angered Trump with call for mercy says she will not apologize Mariann Edgar Budde defends sermon asking president to show compassion to immigrants and LGBTQ+ people

As you know, i’m no fan of religion. And hate does certainly predominate in their narrative, so far as it’s reported in the press. But I hesitate to lump them all together when there are Christians like the bishop of New York who stood up to Trump. (Lack of hate does not usually make the news.)

Oooops.

Pass it on.

A few years ago I decided to sit down every afternoon about 4 o’clock to read. If I forget, my cat reminds me.

Love these. I must plan another visit after my knee heals.

In theory, the other two branches of the US government – i.e. legislative and judicial branches – are meant to hold the president to account.

So many people I care about that I am only in touch with only via FB. I hope someone comes up with a better option so we can all change to it.

Lupin clearly follows Larry, as she has taken his advice to heart.

Brrrrr
