I had to share this photo from @rbhubbell.bsky.social Hubbell's substack today.

Why Russia Is Not Winning the War in Ukraine open.substack.com/pub/jasonjay...

Maps of Ukraine show Russian occupation since pre-2022 (Crimea only), a gradual increase in land occupied by Russia, decrease from 2023 to present. Russia has essentially not advanced since 2023 despite huge losses in fighters and armaments.

I observe this multiple times a day in my sibling pair. Sometimes just grooming, sometimes aggressive. I tell myself it's just "play fighting."

I'm resuming embroidery of a black armband I did not finish in time for No Kings Day awhile back. Now I just need to finish embroidering the word "Truth" and add the word "democracy" by Saturday to have it read to wear when I go to our local fireworks. It symbolizes deep mourning over

A strip of black cloth that will become an armband. It has the word "Justice" embroidered on it in white floss and the beginning of the word "Truth." It has cat hair all over it because I was preparing it for No Kings Day several months ago and didn't finish on time.

attacking helpless people, and people knocked down by powerful fire hoses. I was horrified with a horror that has lasted a lifetime. Now that is being re-created with ICE attacks using dogs and tear gas. God help us. Po

Thank you, Adam! Wonderful picture, but I treasure even more the moniker "creamsicle" cat. I have one, and didn't know that descriptive name, which is perfect. Here are my two.

Rick Wilson's beautiful and strong elegy for the East Wing.

"It wasn’t grand in the old European sense; it was American grand, which is to say an old beauty, balanced and proper, perhaps a little improvised, a touch austere in places, and deeply intentional. It had the moral clarity of a church vestibule and, if you watched carefully, the workaday charm of a school hallway after the bell."

My signs are at the ready for this evening's "Good Trouble" protest in Brevard NC. Also, I'm taking my American flag and my pocket Constitution.

For July 4th, I'm all in black, mourning the passing of democracy. My similarly-dressed friends and I will be gathering to share our fond memories of the deceased (although eventually we are hoping to foster a rebirth).

Congressman Chuck Edwards is perhaps persuadable to vote "No" on BBB. Call him at 828-435-7310, especially if you live in the Asheville-Hendersonville NC area, TODAY. Use personal stories if possible. Many thanks!

I asked ChatGPT for the equivalent of the Ten Commandments, incorporating principles from many major religions, including Native American beliefs, Hindu, Islam Buddhism, and Zoroastrianism, suitable for posting in a classroom. @govabbott.bsky.social I think this would pass legal review.

It was easy to miss @washingtonpost.com coverage of the huge "No Kings" demonstrations yesterday. Far down on the front page with miniscule headline. This was an Earth-shaking event, with Trump's media-suppression effectively reducing it to a detail. Shame on my home-town newspaper!

Chuck Edwards, GOP Congressman from NC 11th, supports Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" which denies health care to his constituents. That's why I am demonstrating in front of the MacDonald's he owns. He touts "constituent relations," but his vote will kill, maim, or hurt thousands of his constituents.

Pics from my small mountain town, Brevard NC, and its May Day demonstrators. We experienced so much support from passing drivers (waves, thumbs up, honks), even in this red region.

My two are littermate brothers. The one lying down is nowhere near as "intelligent" as the one sitting down. He charges into new situations, whereas his brother thinks about it. Action versus reflection.

I just read this post on Substack and want to amplify it:

Proposal to use pardon of convicted insurrectionists and seditionists to implicate Trump in a NEW act of insurrection.
