Ginger has left a key point out of this saga: Missy has been mentored by Snax.
So a couple days ago I posted this and joked that some of these cats needed to go. Well… some of them decided to go. The back door didn’t fully latch and all 3 fosters escaped. Gilbert was easy to recover. He heard us at the door and ran back inside. He loves people too much to do anything else.
“I’m sure you all are wondering why I’ve called this meeting…”

When I was a kid I really wanted to be an Irish ninja.
For the uninitiated, these are Irish Throwing Stars, an ancient weapon wielded by St. Brigid during the 1916 Rising, striking fear into the hearts of the British, and responsible for the eventual smiting of both Cromwell and Thatcher.

This sounds eerily like my Call of Cthulhu Halloween one-shot from a couple of years ago, so I need this film to be made so I can get a fat out of court settlement and retire.

Stop what you’re doing and read this piece, which is as powerful as you’d expect from @adamserwer.bsky.social witnessing the events of last week on the ground in Minnesota. “The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.”
Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong
The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

Stephen Miller couldn’t even defend his marriage from Elon Musk, so by his reasoning he’s divorced.
Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory…

EROs have very limited law enforcement authority.
DHS does not have lead agency responsibility over ‘corruption,’ whatever that is. Pretty sure that in this case, the purported crimes would fall under HHS OIG jurisdiction.

ICE has absolutely no authority to police purported welfare "corruption."

No agency is going to hire any ex-ICE officer after this administration. The Brady/Giglio disclosures and potential liability would be off the charts.
