And this is why MTG's break with Trump over the Epstein files is/was meaningless to me, even if it has/had some entertainment value. She is no more morally correct today than she was a week ago. Epstein is the lowest of low-hanging fruit. (AFAO stands for America First, America Only). She is not ok.

I can simultaneously not mourn Charlie Kirk as a man while I mourn the neverending violence & death wrought by guns. I cannot, however, fail to point out how pols & orgs like @nationalreview.bsky.social will cover this. After no articles about Hortman/Hoffman or the Idaho firefighter ambush.

It was an evil act. Know what else was an evil act in Minneapolis? The assassinations/attempted assassinations of state reps & their spouses. About which nary one @nationalreview.bsky.social full article appeared, much less an editorial. Basically ditto for the ambush of firemen in ID. Pro-life? 🙄

The banality of evil.

On the Feast of both St. Patrick AND St. Gertrude, patroness of cats & Gertie's namesake (due in part to her 3/14 adoption day): Iggy in a bed I've had for months but which neither feline had yet deigned to use. And Ms. Gertie finding the barely sprouted cat mint in Bruno's Memorial Garden. #cats

My new earrings.

Trump's deplorables find these type of 'trolling' acts practically orgasmic. His 'reluctant' voters have found powerful means to resolve the cognitive dissonance that this would presumably cause. But I'm no longer convinced it really does cause them that much cognitive dissonance. #notmyUSA #eftrump

R. Lowry's Embarrassing Lack of At Least Concern, if Not Alarm, About DOGE Accountability. Y'all aren't standing athwart history yelling stop. You're standing by an administration of lawless oligarchs & their un-vetted tech bros yelling Go! It's gross. And treasonous.

Trump may "succeed," but as far as the wellbeing of the US & the world, & basic human integrity & decency, his "successes" will never be "wins." Whether Marcuse was right or wrong, Trump has power Marcuse never did. And Trump is never "right." #trumpliesmatter

I cling to the fact that Trump didn't get 50% of the vote & to a hope that enough of the ~8M new 18 y.o.s we'll have by '26 won't vote for anyone who is not only a vocal but, if already in any elected position, also an active legislative opponent to 47's admin. #thebanalityofevil @altnps.bsky.social

My email to report DEI the ultimate infraction.

I see the Trumpists are fully here now since I last logged on. (Twitter was never my vibe even before I quit when DJT's ban ended). More's the pity. Ignatius agrees. No I don't want hegemony of belief. But I'm so weary of 'owning the libs is my life force' acolytes. I'm tired even of ignoring them.

If you're cold, they're cold. Except when they're not. My alien princess was totally into soaking up some afternoon rays. "Feels like °25" with a 9 mph wind coming at her? Pshaw. I'm good lady! #gertiebirdiegirl #gingercat #cat #windowcat

After a long lap cuddle, my boon companion decided to brave the elements in the heated hut. But he's not happy about it. May we all have a "heated hut" as part of our protection. Unlike Iggy, we don't have a choice about being "out in the elements" of this jacked up world.

It's fixing to rain and then freeze, so I harvested most of my remaining zinnias. Every bit of color helps.
