Marceline our rescue kitten has begun to integrate into the household nicely. We have slowly introduced her to the indoor cats over months and she now is a frequent visitor inside (especially on cold nights.

I am so in love with our new porch cat Marceline. She forgave me after I took her to get her fixed and she is still making herself very comfortable on our porch. She is such a little hunter too.

Here is Josh’s new hip. Titanium! We are almost a week out from surgery and he’s slowly making progress. Still has his dystonic spasms, but he’s a little more stable at least.

Whee, we get Josh’s new robot hip tomorrow. He’s very upset the surgeon can’t let him keep the ball of his femur so he can use it as a cane topper.

Friends, a bit of good news! 🎉 (We take it whenever we can!) The Trump admin reversed their decision to cut funding for the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), a landmark study that’s essential in advancing our understanding of women’s health. 🙌

In a reversal, the Trump administration restores funding for women's health study
The unexpected elimination of funding for the decades-long research project focused on women's health shocked scientists. They were heartened by the quick restoration of support.

What Senator Van Hollen did was important. It got Americans focused on the extrajudicial shenanigans of the Trump administration. And the resulting blowback rattled Trump. It is no coincidence that the very next day he starting distancing him from decisions to sling Garcia into a concentration camp.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk says she's had 4 painful asthma attacks in ICE custody, and not only is her asthma going untreated but a nurse tore off her hijab, saying, "You need to take that thing off your head." www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...
38. Once they finally took me to the medical center, the nurse took my temperature. She said "you need to take that thing off your head" and took off my hejab without asking my permission. I told her you can't take off my hejab and she said this is for your health. After a few minutes I put my hejab back on. But they did nothing to treat my asthma and gave me a few ibuprofen.
39. I had a third asthma attack at the Louisiana facility. Again, this happened in the cell and other woman knocked on the window to get the attention of the officers. I was told that the nurse would come to the cell to see me. She took me outside for a short bit and told me that it was all in my mind. She finally took me to the medical center but I was not treated for my difficulty breathing. The nurse left the room and didn't answer my questions
40.I had a fourth asthma attack on Wednesday March gth around noon. I used my inhaler and waited for it to pass. I was in pain and very scared but I didn't ask to go to the medical center because I don't feel that they address my medical needs.
41. I don't feel safe at the medical center because of my prior experiences there.
They complain when I go there and speak to me in an insulting and condescending manner. They also write information in my medical records that is not accurate. The doctor and nurses there are rude and uncaring.
