Wished for a regular ole "Caturday," but the dreadful & tragic events of the past week rightly precluded, as if any of the past year has been "normal."
The serenity and comfort these guys provide has never been more appreciated, needed.
Anyhow, Happy Caturday!

Chief Justice John Roberts turns 71 today.
Two decades ago, I warned the Senate that confirming Roberts to the Supreme Court would be a disaster for working people.
I'm sad to say I was proven right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir5kmPdRJLw

It looked like they might have been wavering for a hot minute there, but the Trump admin is, unsurprisingly, double down on their worst instincts and worst ppl. All theyre gonna do is keep making ppl angry at them and keep losing.
Breaking MS NOW:
Trump's Justice Department has decided there will be no civil rights investigation of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, and instead two units of DHS will investigate their own officers and the man they killed.

As DHS takes over the federal investigation, current and former law enforcement agents warn that Trump’s DOJ isn’t committed to facts or fairness.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

At least 20 committed offenses with underage victims.
