Gotta love NOAA!! 💙 Instead of showing President's Day in their graphical forecasts today, they're showing Washington's Birthday. 😂😂😂 I do not believe this is purely coincidence! To be fair, I do respect past Presidents like Carter, Clinton, Obama and Biden. #resist #bluecrew #donotobey

Rush (our yellow dog) is working out some stress. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

“I had been told that the training procedure with cats was difficult. It’s not. Mine had me trained in two days.”

Mexico and Canada request that Trump stop using ridiculous pronouncements about their countries just to divert attention from the MAGA/Project2025 dismantling of the US Govt

Knowledge is power…

I absolutely love this idea.

President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. But he’s letting billionaire Elon Musk and Project 2025 Architect Russ Vought kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. If they succeed, CEOs on Wall Street will once again be free to cheat you out of your savings.

ECONOMIC BLACKOUT‼️‼️ Let's get this trending! 📣 BLACKOUT scheduled for 2/28!!! ❌❌ Buy NOTHING on 2/28 except from SMALL businesses! On the permanent boycott list: ❌ Amazon ❌ Target ❌ Walmart ❌ Tesla 🤮 ❌ Meta ❌ Hobby Lobby WE have the power! Please SHARE! #resist #blackout #growtheresistance

ELON IS ALLOWED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. NOT YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES OR STUDENTS & PARENTS. I WILL BE BACK.

Don't GOP representatives realize that caving to the demands of the mob boss out of fear for the safety of their families and themselves won't make them safe? When terrorism works, you just get more terrorism. www.alternet.org/afraid-morni...

Democrats finally digging in for a fight.... www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

A horrific story: A 22-year-old died from an asthma attack after his inhaler jumped from $66 to $539—out of reach when his insurance, a UnitedHealth Group subsidiary, stopped covering it. He struggled to breathe for five days before collapsing. The cruelty of our healthcare system knows no bounds.

🧵1 James Dennehy, the top NY FBI agent, sets an example for all to follow as he defiantly refuses to capitulate. In a public email to employees he stated, “Time for me to dig in,” while lauding 2 top FBI officials as “warriors.” Be a Dennehy and fight back Dems! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

One thing that keeps coming up that makes some people out there mad, but I feel passionately about it: Anyone who expresses regrets about Trump should be welcomed, not shamed. We need them. We *need* them. Changing your mind is so hard, and I will never not wholeheartedly appreciate it.

Good read: Nothing changes if we don’t face our fears and do the hard things anyway. www.dailykos.com/story/2025/2...

It’s easy to call to complain. Take a minute & make the call to thank them. Today I saw a post from a friend in Ohio. She called Costco corporate to let them know that she fully supported their stance on DEI hires. The operator thanked her & told her they’re receiving lots of negative calls. 1/2

So, it turns out federal employees take their oath, their job & their duty to serve dead serious. Retirees (like me) understand the oath doesn’t expire just because you’ve left. This whole thread is giving me life, but especially this:

So they put FatBrian on the scale at the vet and he’s 7.5 kg. He let out a big meow and it went down to 7.4 kg. Meows weigh 0.1 kg. Science.

Call your US Representatives about HR 7. It's a trojan horse to take away women's bodily autonomy and supports an anti abortion, anti birth control alternative to care as a standard. This is a back door to defunding Planned Parenthood. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

These have the heavenly scent of chocolate.

Trump Lost. Vote Suppression Won. Here are the numbers… www.gregpalast.com/trump-lost-v...

Cats are being spotted in areas of LAfires. Rescues and ordinary citizens are trying to rescue. Don't give up on your kitty‼️ Today I'll begin gathering and posting info.💜 #LAFires #cats #pets 🐈 In the meantime, great advice below 👇

One thing Newsom should do *right now* is a statewide rent freeze. They did it during lockdown, they can do it again. And yes, statewide, because every landlord within 200 miles of LA is eagerly waiting for fire refugees to move into their area.

Experts warn rents will balloon in wake of LA fires US Census Bureau reports that USA has ~17M vacant housing units, i.e. 35 vacant units for every homeless person in USA Our housing shortage & unaffordable housing crisis is majorly due to private equity firms buying & hoarding hundreds of units

High noon. Jan 20th.

As climate change fuels a rapid increase in mass scale disasters America should create an extension of the National Guard to let citizens volunteer for training & deployment in their home communities when needed.

Let me know if anyone in corporate media asks Jim Jordan about how his star witness in the Biden impeachment inquiry just got 6 years in prison for making it all up.

Dog: “I won musical chairs."

And Garth Brooks beautifully sang John Lennon’s “Imagine”

The remembrance of President Jimmy Carter: tfg is sitting there having to listen to all the love, respect, accomplishments, and awe being expressed for Pres. Carter. May tfg feel haunted by Carter the rest of his days, as Jimmy and Rosalynn enjoy eternity together. What a study in contrasts.

All of tRump's talk of Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal is just a smokescreen. The REAL land grab, when it comes, will come from Russia.

Random thought - maybe the MAGA, who truly ❤️tfg, need to rescue him from the Billionaires who don’t care about him and are just using him for their own selfish enrichment.

Extra helping of cat photos for today. Have a gruntled day. #Sunlight #Dawn #Sunrises #Mornings #Caturdays #Carnivora #Feline #Salvador #DesertLynx #hybrid #polydactyl #CatDays #naps #beans #CatsOfBluesky #Cat #patrol #sniffies #FlamePoint #BlueEyes #catwalk
