I rarely resort to scripture but all those Sunday School hours sometimes come in handy. #NoKings 🐸

Protest sign leaning against a tree. Text says:

Exodus 8:2
If you refuse to let my people go, I will send a plague of frogs on your whole country.

# no ice
# no kings.

Breaking News: The Trump administration has decided to repatriate two survivors of a deadly U.S. strike this week on suspected drug runners in the Caribbean Sea rather than prosecute them or hold them in military detention, people with knowledge of the matter said on Saturday.

U.S. to Repatriate Survivors of Its Strike on Suspected Drug Vessel

The U.S. military rescued the two men in the Caribbean Sea after Special Operations forces fired on a semi-submersible that was assessed to be smuggling drugs.

Miss Callie wishes everyone a safe No Kings day, and reminds you that it is perfectly ok to sneak a bite of your human’s waffles.

A tortie cat is scrunched up on a windowsill: Her legs are tucked up underneath and her tail is curled against her side.

ATL folks: any good neutral sources for evaluating City Council candidates? And who should my protest vote for Mayor be? B/c I’m not voting for Dickens. I know he’s going to win, but I just can’t.
