Such a sweet little sleepy boy. You’d almost believe that he hasn’t been an absolute terror this morning. I wasn’t aware that the zoomies can be an endurance sport but it took him nearly 5 hours to wear himself out. I’d be impressed if I wasn’t so exhausted lol. #catsofbluesky #momlife

Today would have been her 20th birthday. She took my heart with her when I had to say goodbye. I love you, Dresden. I’d give anything to have you here with me.

They looked for “Don T” in the Epstein files and redacted all instances, which means they also redacted a lot of “don’t”

Luca has officially been with us for two weeks as of today. I’m pretty sure he’s loving his new home (still iffy about his new siblings but we’re making progress 💙)

A small reminder for everyone to drink some water & get some rest. If you’re like me, you’ve been running at 10/10 anxiety & need to dial it down to 4 or 5 to, hopefully get some sleep. Achieving Luca’s 0/10 isn’t likely for any of us (esp in the U.S.) anytime soon #CatsFightingFascism #FDT #FuckICE

She finally got around to being curious about the new addition to the family…..it’s been a week lol. I imagine her thought process was something along the lines of “Ok, fine. Let me see what all the fuss is about”

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy
This is from Georgia Fort’s video.
DEA?!? Gotta be a “task force.”

Day 3 update: Luca was a spicy boy (likely bc it’s his first day without post neuter pain meds) Kilian spent most of the day wondering why he kept getting hissed at. The sun isn’t even down yet and he has done the sad panda shuffle off to bed. I feel bad (Luca does not). Pax remains unbothered.

This is sick. This is inhumane. I’ve seen people call this administration immoral but can we just be honest and stop sugar coating this shit. It’s amoral. These are soulless monsters with a taste for blood and a get out of jail free pass from the president.
DHS claimed "Medics provided immediate aid to Pretti." They lied. In truth, a physician entered a sworn affidavit that ICE blocked him from reaching Pretti, and when he finally got there ICE wasn't giving him CPR, but counting bullet holes.

2nd day home & he wore himself out running around the house. His new brother & sister are still a little confused but things are going better than expected. The cats don’t know it but they’re the only ones keeping me (sorta) sane. Trying to say positive for now. #FuckICE #FDT #CalEXIT

He may have been found in an abandoned house last week but he has a forever home now. Internet, meet Luca. I think I’m going to be stuck like this all day and I’m not mad about it #caturday.

Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment
At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children

There’s an opportunity to use our 🇺🇸 as a protective cloak.
Suggest advising (and providing) witnesses and protestors to bring American flags with them.
Would also be a challenge MAGA ICE CBP to assault our flag.

Some Trump administration social media posts mirror extremist rhetoric
While the posts are a small part of the administration’s overall social media presence, experts say they are clear references to white supremacist messaging.
