I was just here for the cat and dog photos, now .. I am a liberal and a conservative (depends on how the topic is defined). I am progressive. I don't understand people that want to stay stuck in the past. We can debate how far, how fast, what's the cost...

Me in winter: It's too cold. Where's the sun? Where's spring?
Me in spring: My allergies are killing me. When's summer?
Me in summer: It's too freakin' hot to do anything. When's fall?
Autumn: Ahhh. I am not looking forward to winter...

Rinse. Repeat.

Trumpโ€™s Domestic Use of Military Set to Get Worse, Leaked Memo Shows A Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by TNR signals top-level discussions about a potential escalation of the Pentagonโ€™s domestic anti-immigration role, and lays out new details.

NEW: The Trump administration plans to expand the military's role in immigration and law enforcement, intertwining ICE and our troops, and returning us to some of the darkest times in U.S. history.

Deploying the military in our communities puts our democracy, our freedoms, and our lives in peril.

Havenโ€™t seen widespread reporting on Trump dropping an antisemitic slur at a recent rally - except WaPo who posted minutes ago that he used a term โ€žviewed as antisemitic slurโ€œ - it IS one.

Hurricane Science Was Great While It Lasted The U.S. is hacking away at support for state-of-the-art forecasting.

Excellent piece from @zoeschlanger.bsky.social on what Schlanger aptly calls the "miserable cascade of losses for the American hurricane-safety apparatus." Quoted: @drkimwood.bsky.social, @michaelrlowry.bsky.social, @franklinjamesl.bsky.social + Andy Hazelton.

A New Trump Plan Gives DHS and the White House Greater Influence in the Fight Against Organized Crime Internal documents and interviews show that an overhaul led by Stephen Miller would scale back prosecutorsโ€™ control over investigations.

New, @propublica.org:

โ€œYou wonโ€™t have neutral prosecutors weighing the facts and making decisions about who to investigate,โ€ said Adam W. Cohen, who led the DOJ office that coordinates interagency organized crime probes, about Stephen Miller's plan.

โ€œThe White House will be able to decide.โ€

Detained immigrant's pregnancy fails while in ICE custody - Nashville Banner ICE's treatment of undocumented immigrants raises concerns as a woman's experience highlights what she described as inadequate medical care while in detention.

Awful treat in ICE facilities. We must highlight and spread these stories every time they surface. Yes, they're heartbreaking and awful to read. But we must give these humans voices despite the regime trying to silence them.

9 detainees have died in custody since the regime began occupying the WH.

Trumpโ€™s domestic deployment of US armed forces is an alarming abuse of power and affront to democracy ย  - CommonWealth Beacon For months now, Trump and his minions have been waging a campaign to twist the military into a heavily armed loyalist force.

Veterans are speaking out against President Trump's military deployment in Los Angeles because they know that using the military to police protests is un-American and puts our First Amendment rights in danger.
