Wishing all who celebrate it a blessed & meaningful Passover. Happy Pesach! #ChagSameach (When you break the middle matzah at your #Passover seder, here’s hoping this is your afikoman. The smaller half (not pictured) is of course known as the Arlingtoman.)

No longer remotely funny. :( It's just too real.

Bernie Sanders made an appearance at Coachella to introduce Clairo. "The future of what happens to America is dependent on your generation. Now, you can turn away and you can ignore what goes on, but if you do that, you do that at your own peril.” Love this dude!

people are "a little bit anxious"?

day 4: the hallelujah mountains at zhangjiajie were truly incredible to visit. we went in the late afternoon instead of early morning and had the sights almost to ourselves. the mists were rolling in. wow.

Every interaction helps us reach more hearts, and every new heart means another chance for a cat in need. We can't do this without you. #cats #straycats #pets #animals

DC RUMORS: MTG and her mother are being investigated for insider trading.

New skirtguard day! My old plastic ones (never cared for these) were brittle and falling apart so I bought the more classic vinyl fabric ones like I had on my old Omafiets. My Dutch eBike costs so little to run and maintain that these minor fixes are more joy than burden.

That seems to be what people are waiting for Dems to do. Why are they not doing it? We're ready!

I had things to do. I had plans. But then I got stuck in a kitty stasis field. #CatsOfBluesky #HamishTheOrangeDoofus #KittySnuggles

I’m forever grateful for being present when this photo was taken. It was magical!

Johnson using the qualifiers "legally entitled to," "beneficiaries who have a legal right" means they will "discover" lots of people who are not legally entitled to these benefits.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

It's not lawful. It's awful. It's horrific. It's damning to every thing our country is supposed to stand for. Justice. Due process. A right to legal representation. This is so wrong!

Meanwhile, restitution for descendants of enslaved people? *crickets*

During the process of breaking into our home, the burglar caused excessive damage that he was required to pay for. Now he wants it back. Never mind that a pardon doesn't undo the damage, nor does it absolve the person of guilt. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

I see so many people talking about "the end of our democracy" and our "descent into fascism" and it makes me laugh. I'm not used to this many people on social media being right.
