I don't want to read any more depressing news tonight, so I'm going to finish watching Devil Wears Prada 2 now. Signing off with a picture of Doppel sound asleep on a little rug between our dining room and kitchen. So sweet that he feels so safe and knows we will never step on him. 🐈‍⬛ 'nite all!

Bad news out of Texas: the conservative Fifth Circuit of Appeals argued in a ruling that the state's voter suppression law did not violate disability civil rights laws, letting the cruel law stand in its disenfranchising glory. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
