Finally got a semi-decent shot of what I think is a kestrel along the Tapteal trail.

Here’s the thing - Trump blaming a staffer for a wildly racist post might hit a little different if his official government DHS/DOL feeds weren’t posting a steady drumbeat of white supremacist messaging all day every day

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

So Capitol Police officers were assaulted and injured on Jan 6th, the White House today is blaming them for the violence, and the people who attacked them have been pardoned and are back to mock and abuse them on the 5th anniversary.
And the GOP is the party of the police? Really? REALLY??

White House's newly-posted "timeline" of Jan 6 blames Capitol Police for Jan 6, which included an attack on ..... Capitol Police

It's a sad #Caturday for us because we lost this guy to lymphoma this week. Binx, aka Sir Flappy Tummy, aka Mr. Wiggly Tail. As a kitten, he showed up on our back porch during a thunder storm and we took him in. May his spark find us again some day.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.
