Because #TheDustballs get to lick the gravy from their wet food off the spoon, I've gotten very familiar with telling the difference between Nadja's licks (quick & short) & Evie's licks (longer & slower)...

The inevitable 3rd mix of Xmas Jazz... Though distant enough from the usual mix of adult contemporary jazz pumped through retail stores from September 30th through New Year's to avoid causing service job flashbacks...

Missing the deadline = breaking the law.
Deputy AG Blanche just said the Trump DOJ will miss the Epstein files deadline.
He says "several hundred thousand" docs will be released today, "and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more."
All files are required by law to be released today.

Not only should Dems never have stopped using the "They're weird" message, they also should have escalated it exactly like this. Fear mongering about trans people? "Fuck you." Lies about immigrants? "Fuck you." There's a time and place for ditching decorum and right now that time is all the time.
“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.
It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years.
It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.

In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications.
ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.

Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities.
28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

When we're almost a full year into this and they're still voting for Trump's nominees, I'm not sure how you can make the case that the party is salvageable.
