Unlike Oreo, Shadow loves a good rainy day. He’ll watch the rain for hours, and go run around in it until his fur is wet, and then come for a cuddle. #caturday

It's Holocaust Memorial Day. Never forget all the victims of Nazi racist genocide. That's all 17m of them.

No photo of Oreo on this #caturday. He’s hiding in the closet in my shoe basket because it’s thundering outside.
A former classmate of mine is finally going through graduation today. I find it so interesting that some people are willing to drag out doing a dissertation. There’s another guy who was in class with us who’s only just now starting his research.

President Abraham #Lincoln in letters to Joshua Speed, had prophetic vision on the politics of the future #UnitedStates.
"When the #KnowNothing get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty-to #russia for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy."

Good news a from NC. Republicans passed a law that required a postcard be sent to the address of any person who took advantage of same-day registration, if the card was undeliverable by the post office the vote would be thrown out.
(The voter would *not* even be notified this happened.)
Like many voter suppression laws, it almost sounds sensible: if you don't think about it much.
On closer inspection, it is designed to target poor, minority and/or young voters. 1/

In any other country, this would be front page news:

More pro-life BS...
"If they think this was him enjoying his hypoxia, then saying what happened last night was 'textbook' are just words without meaning."

Reminder: all you have to do to donate to campaigns in the USA, is open or buy a US corporation.
Thanks to Citizens United, there's nothing stopping pro-democracy advocates from other countries from buying an American election.
Thanks to Trump's tampering with trade agreements, register via Canada & Mexico.
If Russian oligarchs can make Mike Johnson into the Speaker, & the FEC won't stop you...

OTTAWA - Canada is joining the United States in suspending funding for a UN agency that supports Palestinians, in response to allegations agency staff played a role in the Hamas attack on Israel last October.
Former prime minister Stephen Harper's Conservative government cut off Canadian funding for UNWRA in 2010, amid allegations it was too closely tied to Hamas.
Funding resumed under the federal Liberals in 2016.

Ah, well, first post the bond...I'll give 2 to 1 he no longer has the cash to post the bond for both appeals, the business & EJ. Which would also mean he no longer has the cash on hand to pay.
Receivership?
Liquidation?
Conservator?
excavator?
I'd leave him a plot next to Ivana...if they still know where they planted her.

Let's normalize calling Trump a rapist.
Let me use it in a totally fictional, sorta sci-fi/utopian sentence:
"Donald J. Trump -- the infamous rapist and twice-impeached insurrectionist who back in 2020 tried to overthrow democracy in the Free World -- died today, reportedly choking on an overcooked chunk of ketchup-covered steak."
