Okay, so this little guy, Simon (left) is our latest, greatest challenge in life. He's been with us for 6 weeks now, and he still has to get Maisie's vote (right). I am less discouraged than I was. That's all for now. #cats, #catintroduction, #newcat

Make them explain why. Don't make it easy for them by making up your own logic, as illogical as it is. IT SHOULD COME OUT OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS.

I just read this entire article on Bleeding Heartland, and it needs to be read. This sort of gaslighting is dangerous. I'll quote the author, Kira Baker: "Don't let them make an enemy out of me or out of 'Democrats.'"

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"
After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts
At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

Hey, Dems running for anything: (this is just me talking but...) Don't tell me your Political Strategy -- Tell me your Vision. Don't tell me we "need to fight for 'something'" ... tell me what you are personally fighting for. Thank you for listening.

Texas Republicans have locked Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier inside the state house chamber and refuse to allow her to leave.

They are requiring Democrats to sign “permission slips” and have a police escort in order to leave the chamber, and she refuses to sign it.

Good job, Salt Lake City!
Utah passed a law to ban Pride flags.

Salt Lake City created new official city flags that incorporated banned flag features, so they can be flown w/o breaking the law.

"So shines a good deed in a wearing world."
If approved, SLC would have 4 flag designs. It's current, as well as one tied to Progress Pride, Juneteenth and Transgender designs as seen here #utpol:
