The clouds are rolling in, gray and dark. We're expecting a fast-moving storm called a clipper. But the cats know what to do! Happy #Caturday everyone
This is a rare picture of our cat Bandit while he was awake. He's chilling on our bed. Our big boy Gus, sleeping soundly with his head on my pillow This is our great-grandkitty Vida. She's sleeping peacefully on one of the levels of a cat tree

Happy #Caturday. We're going for a walk at the park to recharge our energy cells. I look at our kitties and think: gee, I'd like to come back as a housecat. :D
a close up of our sleeping kitty, Gus a picture of Bandit and Nugget snuggled up closely together, sleeping. Normally they don't get along all three: Gus, Nugget, and Bandit sleeping peacefully on our bed. Wish I was them.

it's bad and will get worse but I will never give up. Maybe Steve Schmidt (The Warning) is right that it'll take 20 years to recover. At least my kids will see it. Maybe me too. Now for a break. #cats #dogs

I didn't realize how many fellow Americans cheer whatever the convicted felon says or does. Cognitive dissonance.
It's one of the strangest things I've ever witnessed. A man lies through his teeth, spreads hate toward anyone who thinks differently, and stumbles through leadership like he's completely lost. Millions see it. They hear the lies, they feel the division, they watch the chaos, and yet they cheer louder. It's not that they don't know. It's that they simply do not care.

Mostly hurting, not angry. Not just the big ugly bill but also about the children lost in the TX flash flood, plus other deaths and destruction. My heart goes to the parents of the missing children especially. The handshapes in this meme spells "Be Kind".
This is a multicultural group of handshapes and one handshape representing the Pride flag. The handshapes form letters of the sign language alphabet, spelling out "Be kind."

Spent the day with family yesterday. We watched 1776 as we've been doing for the last several years. Today is #Caturday. Recharging my batteries to engage again in the battle for our democracy.

I don't feel OK today. I'm not giving up. I'm fighting. But I don't feel OK at all today.

I'm sharing this portion of the Hopium Chronicles because it's so important for us to DO something. If the Congress switchboard is jammed, DL 5 Calls onto your phones. I never have a problem getting through.
This chart lists all vulnerable Repubs for 2026. Too many names to list individually. They are located in Arizona, Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin. If you are represented by a Repub, please call to oppose the big bad ugly bill

How about some nice #puppy pictures? This is our grandpup, Sweetie. She loves the water. She is pursuing an electric boat racing in the lake near our home. She also enjoys splashing in her home-made plastic pool to cool off in the heat.
Our puppy Sweetie enters the lake near our home to chase an electric boat participating in a community race Sweetie frolics in a plastic tub. I think the tub is supposed to be for dishes or laundry, dunno. But it makes an awesome pool. Sweetie relaxes in that tub-pool of hers

Can these beautiful little kittens cheer us up? These are our great-grandkitties, Vida, Noxy, and Chi Chi. #kittens #cats
These three little kittens are looking directly at the camera. They are maybe a month old now. They are our great-grandkitties.
