You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive
― James Baldwin

This is Sausage. His humans got him his very own swimming pool and he's obsessed with it. We asked them if he swims every day and they said, ”Every single day. He follows us around the house until we take him outside AND sit and watch him. If we’re not there he won’t swim." 14/10 good for him

It’s #WarblerWednesday! A day late #Twosday.😄 Another snapshot of the male and female Yellow Warblers from the series I captured and posted recently.

FACT: For those keeping track, Donald Trump's National Guard had not been deployed on the ground when he posted this.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot
Do law enforcement.

Period

The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.
