Doing my best to survive living in Idaho. The United States is a white supremacist state, and it always has been, and late-stage capitalism enables white supremacy #BlackLivesMatter #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

Make it make sense. We are killing people in fishing boats in the Caribbean because of supposed (but totally unproven) drug trafficking, but we’re pardoning a man who was actually convicted of drug trafficking by a jury. This corrupt kakistocracy can’t even be a little consistent.

Hegseth is a cold-blooded murderer. There's no way to dress it up. He's a criminal. And his was precisely the kind of illegal order that those Dem members of Congress urged the military not to follow. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

I don’t usually share stuff like this, but 700 straight days seems like something to celebrate.

The myth of that a bunch of young hackers can solve any problem was debunked by DOGE. But the larger moral stain is that this was a heist.

Cost saving was a cover story to shutdown investigations into Elon’s companies, steal government data and engage in genocide by proxy via killing USAID.

📚💙 Just finished reading The Holdout by Graham Moore, which was recommended to me by a librarian using Boise library’s Personalized Picks. It’s a very well-written thriller, and I enjoyed it a lot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Today I bought Mimi an electric blanket because she is bald from her neck down to her tummy (Chinese crested genes?). This is the result

Finished Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney on audio this morning. I have no idea why it was in my TBR pile it because it isn’t really my kind of book. And at first I thought I was going to hate it. There are more wild improbabilities than I usually have the stomach for. 📚💙

Finished Water Moon by Samantha SotoYambao yesterday. It was a lovely book. I found the pacing to be slow but in a good way. It’s a book to savor. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📚💙

Folks, the reporting is that Trump is making PERSONAL CALLS to Mace, MTG and others about the discharge petition. Would you be doing this if you had nothing to hide? Let's please all be serious here.

Soup Season - Today is creamy tomato with white bean. It was delicious, but next time, I’m going to use roasted garlic instead of salted minced garlic

I wish I had any hope that Trump and his regime would face any consequences for their inhuman, obviously criminal behavior. But we all know they never will.
The NYT interviewed 40 men who were in CECOT.

They described being beaten, sexually assaulted by guards, driven to the brink of suicide. One said officers thrust his head into a tank of water to simulate drowning. Another was forced to perform oral sex on guards in hoods.

Trump did this.

It’s been awhile since I shared a Mimi update. She’s now fully integrated into the pack,although she wants to be alpha. She likes to growl at the others dogs, so we call her grumpy gremlin. 🤣
