I haven't read through all the threads regarding the democrats who caved on the shut down

But it's important to take this opportunity to shout loud and clear that it was Trump and the Republicans who would see millions starve and many die or become homeless. That Democrats actually care about their constituents and had to concede.

Trump and the Republicans don't give a shit about the welfare of the American people - actually any people.
Let it be in every speech, every moment that the Republicans are more interested in their own wealth and power than the people that they purport to serve.

This is something that needs to emphasized in every future campaign.
Don't get mad, get even!

Please don't eat our own.

This is a sad sign of the times - I received this message from my vet

What's the significance of wearing yellow for the No Kings Day event?

We don't have yellow garments, but I plan to go to party store to get some yellow leis or crepe paper streamers.
We don't have signs, but if there is real meaning to the yellow, I can get some yellow balloons ----.I don't have time to make a sign.

I had misgivings about going because of my back, but I feel like I have to do SOMETHING!
So, I'll register and wear yellow if it really has a significant meaning - take pain meds on the way there.

Hamas to release all Israeli hostages

I'm coming here for advice/support, don't know where to turn

14 years ago I adopted 3 kittens - really adorable little fellers/gal who grew up to be great friends and frenimies.
Broccoli, Gus and Violet. Broccoli and Gus became best buddies - Broccoli would harass Violet and Gus would protect her honor.
It came to pass that about 3 years ago Gus developed diabetes and I've been medicating him every day since. Their meals centered around his meds. Broccoli, the scamp and harasser, Violet, shy, therefore her name and Gus, the most lovable cat there ever was - a great confidante and emotional support guy, actually checking on people's breathing while they slept - the favorite of the grand kids.

Tragically, Gus succumbed to a huge blood clot in his aorta yesterday morning. I was able to be with him stroking his cheek and holding his paw as he slipped away at the emergency vet.. I'm totally heartbroken and have randomly broken out into tears an sobs throughout the day today.

But this is not the advice I seek.
Broccoli has taken up camp in my bed and will not come downstairs. I think he's in mourning.
What can I do to ameliorate his pain? In all these years he has never spent a day without his brother Gus.
My heart is now twice broken.

I'll entertain any suggestions.

Thanks

They are in extreme panic distraction mode

Do not succumb.

EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN!!!

Let them throw all the shit they want at the wall - just remember:
EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN is just the tip of the iceberg.

Donny did not rape pubescent girls while performing "official acts."
He's criminally liable.
Shame Magats who defend him or any of his henchmen.

I have a question - it's sincere and I'd appreciate thoughful answers- no snark

Do you think if the remaining hostages in Gaza were returned to Israel in a respectful way that it would allow for Israel to withdraw while saving face? Do you think it will further the peace process? Isn't that the main concern of the Israeli government? Apparently keeping them is not helping their cause.

JULY 4, 2025 should be the beginning of the

Take America Back movement - a day of Patriotism for real Americans.
It's OUR day not stinkin' magats'.

NO KINGS day for us.

Thank the Supreme Court and the Citizens United decision

It was bound to happen.

My husband just told me that the House just passed the Bill.

Tell me he's wrong.
