Just watched the documentary "1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture." Then I threw away two of the Bibles I had. The "cool" hippy "Living Bible" was one of them.

Every day, more setbacks. Today denial of care and treatment for transgender youth; a billion dollars, in our taxpayer money, to pardon Jan 6 criminals; and an idiot and his minions making decisions about war policy. I need more trees baths and snuggles with my kitty.

Angry, but not surprised about Giant Orange Tic Tac sending troops into LA. He did the same in other cities, including my hometown of Portland, OR in 2020. This is all about control, power and intimidation. Not what I vote for in a leader.
