In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

They were 2 of the very first dogs I ever saved. Britney and King Whacker were as good as dead.

To see them meet up this week in Scotland brought a little tear to my eye. Look at their little jackets for the cold!

Monarch clusters at Natural Bridges State Park.

Butterflies are active when temperatures are above 60°F. They cannot fly in temperatures below 55°F, and can't even move when it is below 45°F.

Wonderful experience watching them. When the sun hits the spot they’re on, they disperse everywhere 😊

Pete Buttigieg would be a good DNC spokesperson.

He would do a GREAT job of going around the country, being on TV all the time, and putting out Dem messaging on EVERY issue.

He would be an excellent counter-Leavitt. And we NEED one. He should be holding regular press conferences and putting

He lays out the evidence and names the behavior: fascistic tendencies. Trump nods and smiles like someone being told he has an excellent golf swing. It’s not bravado. It’s not denial. It’s something almost sadder: he doesn’t understand the language of critique unless it’s blunt and emotional. Mamdani moved the discussion into the realm of political analysis, and Trump’s instincts don’t live there. So he simply… accepts it. Not because he agrees, but because he can’t absorb what the words actually mean. The last ten minutes are the clearest portrait of Trump’s psyche. Once Mamdani refuses to bend, Trump compensates by overcorrecting into flattery: “You’re going to surprise people.” “I feel very comfortable with you.” “We’re going to get along great.” It’s dominance disguised as benevolence. When Trump can’t conquer, he tries to adopt. He folds the other person into his narrative: You and I are the same. We’re allies. You approve of me. I approve of you. It’s a kind of political camouflage — digest the threat by complimenting it. Mamdani doesn’t take the bait. He doesn’t fight. He doesn’t flatter. He just continues speaking plainly. Which leaves Trump in the one position he hates most: performing civility for an audience that isn’t fooled. What the meeting really showed The full interview isn’t about Mamdani calling Trump a fascist. It’s not about Trump pretending to be gracious. It’s not about a progressive mayor meeting an authoritarian president. What the meeting showed is simpler and more damning: Trump is only powerful when the room fears him. Take the fear away, and he becomes oddly gentle, strangely polite, and completely unable to dominate the conversation. People think tyrants rage because they’re strong. But the truth is they only rage when they know the room will absorb it. Mamdani didn’t absorb it. So Trump didn’t rage. He folded. Nicely. Neatly. Like a man who knows the cameras are watching and doesn’t want the world to see what he looks like when the mask cracks. And if there’s a lesson here for the rest of the country, it’s this: Fear is the oxygen of authoritarianism. Take it away, and even a strongman starts to sound like a man.

Happy weekend! I came across this amazingly well written synopsis of the Trump/Mamdani meeting from Bruce Fanger. Worth the read. 1/2
Thirty Minutes in the Lion’s Den: The Interview Trump Thought He Controlled White Rose USA — November There’s a strange thing that happens when you watch the full thirty-minute interview instead of the clipped version the internet tosses around. The edges soften. The masks slip. And you start to see the actual geometry of the interaction — where power sits, where insecurity leaks, where the tone changes, where the truth speaks by accident. The viral clip makes it look like a moment. The full meeting reveals a dynamic. This wasn’t a showdown. It wasn’t a humiliation. It wasn’t a triumph for either man. It was something far more revealing: a case study in how a bully behaves when he can’t rely on fear, and how a principled politician behaves when he refuses the role of the victim. The meeting begins as all Trump meetings do — with noise. The first five minutes are pure Trump: monologues disguised as greetings, numbers inflated beyond physics, scattered recollections of the 1980s like the era froze and preserved The first five minutes are pure Trump: monologues disguised as greetings, numbers inflated beyond physics, scattered recollections of the 1980s like the era froze and preserved him in amber. You can practically hear his brain flipping through its greatest hits, trying to set the tone: This is my room. My chair. My story. But Mamdani doesn’t react to any of it. And that is the first hinge of the meeting. A man like Trump needs emotional feedback to function. Fear works. Flattery works. Even anger works. Mamdani gives him nothing. He sits there with the calm of someone who refuses to let the other person set the emotional tempo. It’s a small thing, but with Trump, it’s enough to break the cycle. Then comes the shift — the “gracious Trump” phase. People mistake this for maturity or diplomacy. It’s not. It’s a reflex Trump only deploys when he can’t dominate the room. The tone goes soft, the eyebrows lift, the compliments come out in forced, syrupy bursts. “You’re doing great work.” “New York is lucky to have you.” “You’re a very smart guy.” “You’re doing great work.” “New York is lucky to have you.” “You’re a very smart guy.” It sounds statesmanlike until you remember the same man called him a communist threat two weeks earlier. What’s happening here isn’t respect — it’s adaptation. A chameleon trying to match the color of the wall. Trump is gracious when graciousness benefits Trump. As Mamdani shifts to policy, Trump drifts into autobiography. This is the most telling stretch — minutes twelve to eighteen. Mamdani tries to talk like a mayor-elect: transit housing Rikers federal cooperation immigrant protections Real issues, real stakes, real governance. Trump responds by vanishing into his own mythology. Crime statistics from memory that don’t exist. Grievances about prosecutors. Stories from “the old days.” Complaints about how unfairly he’s been treated. It’s not sabotage — it’s incapacity. Mamdani is speaking a civic language Trump’s brain can’t decode. They aren’t having the same conversation. They aren’t even on the same continent. Then comes the moment everyone’s dissecting — the “fascistic tendencies” line. And yes, it happened in the room, not after. Mamdani doesn’t weaponize the word. He doesn’t turn it into a headline. He does something more dangerous: he analytically names the pattern. Immigrant raids. Political retribution. Targeting dissent. Erosion of checks and balances. Threats against the judiciary. He lays out the evidence and names the behavior: fascistic tendencies.
