An aspiring writer and hedonist whose love of treats, politics, and everything Marvel and DC consumes a good portion of my waking moments, few as they are. A friend to corgis.
It seems Republicans are going full steam ahead with the 1930s-1940s iconography that subtly touches on white supremacy. Or maybe it’s more of a Stalinist look that goes with Trump’s negotiating of government partial ownership of industries. Whatever it is, modern and forward looking, it is not.
"Las Trece Rosas" fueron fusiladas por el régimen franquista el 5 de agosto de 1939 Fueron condenadas en un consejo de guerra sumarísimo acusadas de reorganizar las Juventudes Socialistas Unificadas. Algunas eran menores de edad.
BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Five months ago, we learned that ICE seized drawings and letters from children in the Dilley ICE concentration camp. I sued under the Freedom of Information Act. Today, I got responsive documents. www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...

If you are feeling a little down about elections and have 40 minutes to spare, please watch this. Hopefully, you will feel better and more energized to keep pushing against Trump, his minions, and the billionaire class trying to stay in power. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2a7...

Not sure if this is going to work, but it’s a video about a cartel that keeps breaking into houses and stealing them in Mexico with the help of authorities. And the rightful owners can do nothing. The authorities did not arrest the woman. x.com/jorgegogdl/s...

Been seeing these tiny gold cars that look like they belong to a Bond villain everywhere. They are Tesla’s ride share autonomous vehicles. I’m just waiting for the day that one got crushed by a giant SUV or truck so common in TX roads. They look like fancy sardine cans.
When your Friday all of a sudden has meaning again. 😋 There is also an old fashion sitting n the background.
Reading the Astral Library by Kate Quinn and so far it’s been really good. I think I will heat the weekend heat and the crazy politics by staying in and finishing it.

It’s stories like this one that make me think maybe getting rid of police is not so bad. Why was this guy even inside her house. And why would he think that she was going to throw anything at him? This murdered needs to rot in jail where he belongs.
Sonya Massey trusted law enforcement to keep her safe. Instead, she lost her life at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve—an all too common tragedy for Black Americans. May we honor Sonya’s legacy by advocating for justice, accountability and a safer future for all.
STEVE'S RECIPE FOR PERFECT MICROWAVE BACON: 4 slices wrapped in paper towels. Cook like you cook popcorn, only you can't listen for popping. Set TIME COOK for 4 minutes. Stop after 2. Check. Microwaves vary. Mine does crispy (not burned) 4 in 4 minutes. MOLLY THE THING OF EVIL APPROVED THIS RECIPE
I want to be this woman. I suspect from her stories that Ms. GG @gpgomez.bsky.social already kind of is. ❤️
There’s a woman at my nearby park that hangs out and if you wait long enough, no more than five minutes, a dog will be within eyeshot and go apeshit when seeing this lady. Apparently every dog in the neighborhood knows and loves this woman. They run right to her, dragging their owners. Beautiful.
Apparently soup has been given a glow-up and is now being touted as “water-based cooking.” Y’all go on without me. I’m just going to sit right here.
Talarico: When I get tough questions, I answer them. When Ken Paxton gets tough questions, he runs away, literally runs away from reporters, from voters, from anyone asking hard questions. If you've given an Epstein style sweetheart deal to a child predator, you should have to answer questions.
Do people understand that if Trump wins this case the US is fucked? This would end voting rights as we know them and give him control over the elections. It will be over if he gets this power.

The GOP has a plan to undermine free and fair elections. We must stop them
The GOP is not acting like a party trying to persuade voters to support its candidates — because it isn’t.

This can’t be reformed. It’s not a training issue. The agents who murdered Pretti and Good, and who shot Sosa-Celis have been agents for more than 8 years. I’ll be voting for candidates who support dismantling DHS and abolishing ICE.
"Tonk" is a Border Patrol slur that refers to the sound a metal flashlight makes when used to beat a migrant in the head. And that's the word that Border Patrol agents under the direct command of Greg Bovino were using when bragging about their arrests in Los Angeles last year.

Norwegian Forest Cats are large cats that look like something straight out of a fairy tale. According to Norse mythology, the goddess Freyja travelled in a chariot pulled by two cats. Legend has it that Freyja's cats are the ancestors of the Norwegian Forest Cat breed. 📷 aslantheforestcat on IG
That is a bear, not a dog. Also, you would need like four Roombas. Maybe more.

This is alarming! So many people displaced is horrible, but the loss of France’s Bordeaux wineries would be horrible. And this is happening in Spain, too.
A raging wildfire in southwest France forced the evacuation of 55,000 people overnight Sunday, bringing the total forced out of their homes to a staggering 220,000 in one region alone, as flames crept ever closer to the wine region city of Bordeaux. https://to.pbs.org/4x5p6Aw

Xylitol Is Toxic To Dogs, and It's Probably in Your Home Right Now
What is xylitol, also called birch sugar? It's found in a lot more than you think, and it's very dangerous for your dog to ingest.
