I read about the protesters in *Spain*, using water guns to squirt at tourists. Apparently, there are so many short-term rental properties that locals have almost no place to live. Sound familiar? So, I look up real estate there. There are TONS of high-rise buildings that have no elevators!

...What if we start a rumor that Tren de Aragua or MS-13 members have started wearing bandanas over their faces and "POLICE" vests off of Amazon to impersonate ICE officers and kidnap blonde American citizens? It's about time some stupid racist conspiracy theory was helpful for a change.

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

My atheist, transgender, 16yro kid, is listening to a Jars of Clay playlist They just told me that "Work," from the Good Monsters album, is the earliest song they remember hearing. My oldest is 20. When "Work" first came on over our speakers, I swept her tiny-baby self into my arms, & danced...

Ugh, the only crap part about having tenants again is that we're going back to having 1 bathroom. The dogs are fine, the kids are great, & having another adult in the house is wonderful. Hopefully, once the Vulcan's job finally goes through, we can add a second bathroom in the basement soon.

Hello from the future.

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem

The oldest kid is Shy Violet's best friend. This kid has been a GOOD FRIEND, sometimes coming over early in the mornings on school days to help SV wake up. They've celebrated every birthday together for 6+ yrs. I didn't know the mom called SV "Spare Child." 😆

None of the people quoted in this article are willing to face the source of the violent rhetoric and begin to do any work to stop it. It's all "both sides" or not me." www.startribune.com/after-one-of...

Wise thread: The “don’t feed the trolls” rule works in real life

This is tangential but a thing I've learned as a person who is related to Fox-brained Republicans: they really think they can steamroll and are ready for ~ arguments ~ but they truly do not know what to do with "Well, that's an awful thing to say and you should be ashamed, anyway, how's the pie"

So, the Mom has 2 dogs. She told me they were really small, & being the suspicious butt that I am, I assumed they were medium-sized, & said, "Sure." They're beagle mixes. They're SMALL. She keeps apologizing for noise that I don't even hear. 🌻

I miss the ability to say "Not my circus, not my monkeys" but, unfortunately, we're trapped in the tent as the monkeys and clowns fling poo.

"Seem" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here! "Boelter was a religious extremist in hiding," would be more accurate. "Boelter hid religious extremism in pious-sounding roles," would be even better.

Which is why being treated like an addict every time we refill them is so ironic.

Kroger has shut down four Colorado locations as grocery strike begins. The UFCW just launched these initial walk outs, but the strike could grow dramatically and spread across multiple strikes. Over 100,000 supermarket workers have authorized strikes across the West and PNW.

Good morning from @altyellonatpark.org

The MAGA reverse-Robin-Hood scheme would remove 11 Million people from Medicaid, 5 Million from the Affordable Care Act exchanges, slash SNAP by more than $700M, “strip 4.5 million children who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents of eligibility for the Child Tax Credit,” and ..

Also? ANY citrus fruit, or vitamin C supplement, taken within 90 mins before or after ADHD medication, greatly reduces the effectiveness of the meds.

When you see it.... (Down the right-hand column.)

the Star Tribune's writeup of the Boelter charges is a lot more provocative than the charging document itself

Have we lost all our empathy and tact? A car drives into protesters on purpose, hitting them, then flees. Do you reply: Did they catch the guy? Was anyone killed or seriously injured? or Protesters shouldn’t be out after curfew or in the streets or waving that flag or wearing those clothes.
