For Gen X part of why watching the unapproved & unpermitted destruction of the #WhiteHouse is so hard is the symbolism. We watched the Berlin wall fall, & remember elation and excitement that democracy and freedom were winning.
This demonstration symbolizes the fall of our democracy and freedoms.

The audacity for this to be the pop up splash on the Children's Health Defense page.

A record number of cases and the year is only half over.
Just a reminder that measles is not a harmless disease. 1 in 5 will be hospitalized, 1 in 1000 can have brain swelling, and 2 to 3 over every 1000 will die. #vaccinate #measles www.nytimes.com/2025/07/09/w...

My poor #orange tabby seems to have an ear hematoma but vet can't see him for two days. He is looking like Dobby. I wish I could help him feel better. He has been curled up on me all day, which is not his norm. #catsofbluesky #clyde

Everyone in my house was still asleep when I left. Orange boi decided to come and do a "drive by" where he rubbed on my legs after I filled the food bowl right before leaving. Got to work and see I need a lint roller. #clyde #catsofbluesky #fur #orangecat

Sitting here, doomscrolling, and my girl decides to come up and purr next to me while putting her little paw on my leg to tap me for pets.
"Yes, mom, it looks bleak but pets, please. We will both feel a little better." #catsofbluesky #bonnie #tortie

Yes, it is over 80 in Seattle. Yes, I have a blanket on my lap because the orange one demands it. Yes, he is stretched out because we are both hot. Yes, my foot is asleep. But the rules are the rules and I am stuck. #catsofbluesky #clyde
