History repeats itself.....

ASKED and ANSWERED…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

Sanders: A woman is walking down the street, a car stops, and these guys — in plain clothes and masks — grab her, throw her into the car, and take off. That happened in Vermont today. That’s the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships, not in a democracy.

It gets worse: The order found that the administration was covertly withholding millions in FEMA funds from blue states.

It's been a rough week for the NOAA family, including feds, contractors, and scientists across this country / world. I need to say something very important. It is my motivation to get you the weather, water and climate data you need, regardless of what has, or will happen to us.

One of my favorite historians on how the Trump Administration and its GOP buddies are ACTIVELY fomenting antisemitism, not preventing it. Watch. It’s only 7 minutes.

Un-fucking-believable!

It’s been a drizzly, chilly April #Caturday here in central NJ… a high holy day for cats and their staff. As we witness the dismantling of democracy and a cash grab on the U.S. Treasury, #Reggie & #Wnuczka would like to remind you: a) Naps are good, and b) Don’t forget to stop and smell the catnip!

Moving to full-fledged propaganda.

It’s #Caturday… a holy day of obligation around the globe for cats and their staff… a day on which we honor these noble (if somewhat aloof) creatures. Here are Reggie and Wnuczka with a reminder: While the world around us burns, don’t forget to a) grab a nap, and b) stop and smell the catnip!

A terrifying look into the ProNatalist movement from Mother Jones Magazine… www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The sheer incompetence of this administration is equal to - if not greater than - the corruption of this administration.

The Senate Intelligence Committee is holding a briefing on global threats on Tuesday after the national security adviser Michael Waltz added a journalist to a group chat where Trump administration officials planned a strike in Yemen. Follow live updates.

Death threats against judges are rising — and instead of dialing it back, the GOP is doubling down. Even after Chief Justice John Roberts called the push for impeachment “not appropriate,” Republicans are pressing ahead. Just this week, House Republicans moved to impeach six federal judges.

The acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration admits he retaliated against the entire population of Maine—mostly newborn babies and their parents—because he thought the state’s governor had been rude to Trump in a White House meeting. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/u...

Why?

I’ve been told that if you’re planning on traveling outside the U.S. and expecting to return, that you should disable biometrics on your phone, and instead rely on a complex password…. So that they can’t use your face or fingerprints to open it. #HowFuckedIsThat?

#Caturday - the high holy day for cats and their staff - bringing a welcome respite from the fresh Trumpian hell each new day seems to bring. But Wnuczka and Reggie are here to remind you that naps are always a good thing… and whatever you do, don’t ever forget to stop and smell the catnip!

SAT, APR 26 - Catch the MOJO GYPSIES as we join in Middletown Township's annual Earth Day Celebration at Core Creek Park in Langhorne, PA. We’ll bring our special blend of up-tempo blues and old-school R&B, with just a hint of N'awlins spice for good measure. The FREE event runs from 11am-2pm.

Well, it’s here again: #Caturday - the high holy day for cats and their staff. And as we watch in horror the real-time dismantling of Democracy, Wnuczka and Reggie have asked me to remind you that naps are always a good thing… and don’t ever forget to stop and smell the catnip!
