Wow, ok, this put a huge lump in my throat this morning. You know the 4 US soldiers who died in Lithuania? (Video in linked post.)
HUNDREDS of Lithuanians showed up to pay their respects.

Congressman Buddy (not making that up) introduced a bill to “acquire” Greenland and rename it “Red, White, and Blueland.”
This is like in Despicable Me when Gru decides to steal the moon.
Just cartoon villain things.

“We’re in the middle of an authoritarian administrative coup.” — OR Senator Jeff Merkley on Threads today.
It is not ENOUGH, but it is IMPORTANT that our elected officials name what is happening.
If yours hasn’t yet, this would be a great subject for a phone call.

Anyone else notice that the “anti-DEI” stuff coming from the administration is anti-DEIA—emphasis on my part on the A? Do you know what that stands for, what they’re attacking next?

I’m kinda busy freaking out about Google deleting Biden from the list of US presidents (they “fixed” it at 4am) & Trump saying last night that MSNBC “shouldn’t even have a right to broadcast” but every morning, I wake up early to have cat snuggling & scrolling time. Here’s James. He’s not worried.

Well, one silver lining of today: I found a B & N gift card, looked up the amount, and it has $30 on it! Not independent, but hey, free books! #girlmath I’m doing it to support the authors!
I guess I should have specified it was a personal silver lining.
