Reposting this picture of the kitty bits to pin for anyone that clicks on my profile. Don't bother scrolling down from here. It's not worth it.

Closeup photo of two cats. In the foreground is a fluffy gray cat with green eyes and long whiskers. In the background is a brown tabby with white fur on the face and chest, also with green eyes.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

“No public criminal charges have been filed against anyone in connection with the raid … The @chicagotribune.com has been able to confirm the identity of only one immigrant taken into custody by federal agents that night: a 41-year-old pizza delivery man … who has no apparent criminal history.”

They were already living in one of Chicago’s worst apartment buildings. Then came the ICE raid.

In what appears to have been a warrantless operation, the federal government will not say how many people were detained, who remains in custody and what happened to the children.

This morning my ChatGPT quota was inexplicably exhausted.

It took a while but I pieced it together. Voice mode somehow got activated when I went to bed.

The bot then engaged in a 10 hour conversation with my snoring dog, answering questions the pup wasn’t asking and praising him for his insight.

Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

Overheard at my local No Kings rally:

"When do we get our Soros paychecks?"

"See the inflatables over there? Once they create the war zone we get our paychecks. Just follow the chicken."
