A little humor always helps. This one has a second level joke that caught me off guard.

A little more about the new executive order. I find it particularly offensive on the same day the Supremes upheld Tennessee’s ban on all transgender treatment for minors. They did not just privatize transgender treatment, they banned it entirely.

Truly insane decision: the National Suicide hotline has ceased working with the Trevor Project or offer LGBTQ+ oriented suicide support. Please “post it on:” Trans Lifeline US number is 1-877-565-8860!

He is incontinent and has graduated from an adult diaper; he now wears a catheter. He cheats at golf (and pretty much everything else).

At some point in the past, wolves started hanging out around humans to get food scraps...and then they ended up like this. 🤣
A very adorable golden retriever with a white face sits on little rocks next to a green house. He is holding two plush toys in his mouth, a pink gorilla and a rainbow (not sure what animal that one is). He looks very proud of his predatory skills.

@kegelee.bsky.social I understand your position. You have already accused myself & others on Substack as being pro-Nazi b/c the Atlantic informally says is a tiny fraction of accounts ( looks like less than one one-thousandth of a percent) which were traced to far right accounts mostly on Telegram.

Now MTG is trying to get 45/47 to pardon George Floyd’s killer. Of course he’ll frame it as a demonstration of his support for law enforcement. We know better!

My friend Libraryanna pointed out that Floyd’s killer was convicted of state crimes, so he cannot be pardoned by Trump. I think he pled guilty to federal charges after the state jury convinced but I doubt the federal charges carry life.

ICE just left a boy on the sidewalk when they arrested his parent off the street! What is going to be enough of an outrage to waken the American people? ICE agents seem to be above the law, ethical or moral principles, or even just a tiny dab of empathy.

Looks like another pardon I may drop any minute. Shall we just assume that all assaults on police will be forgiven? Should we just tell police that they will be pardoned no matter what they do?

The horses name is “Sovreignty.” How’s that for a misspelled” but timely reminder that has Trump is attacking that principle daily: invade Mexico, annex Canada, “buy” Greenland.

Trump re LGBTQ+ service members: "A man's assertion that he is a woman, & his requirement that others honor this falsehood, is not consistent with the humility & selflessness required of a service member." What the f$&k does the orange one know about humility & selflessness?

Yes. My very first record, given to me by my parents for my birthday as a child, was Cash’s album “Ring of Fire.” The first part of his career was amazing, but the second part, including his remake of “Hurt,” simply takes your breath away.

I saw the television ad pushing “self deportation” and it was cringe-worthy. I do suspect that those providing their info to the government will find themselves next in line for arrest & deportation. That is, I do not believe for a second that DHS actually will wait until registrants self deport.

You are correct. And a million or so for Rhodes deaths are directly the result of Trump’s deceit & him turning everything from masks to vaccination into partisan political sport.
