Mamdani calls Trump a fascist? Trump says, "That's OK. You can just say it; it’s easier than explaining it.”

www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...
Photo of Trump patting Mamdani's arm cheerfully in the Oval Office. When Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich pressed Mamdani further about whether he considers Trump to be a “fascist”, the president offered the mayor-elect an unusual life raft. “That’s OK,” Trump said while tapping Mamdani’s arm. “You can just say it, it’s easier than explaining it.” Donald Trump and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani speak to members of the media as they meet in the Oval Office on Friday.

Miss Piggy's and Kermit's advice
Miss Piggy has her arm around Kermit as she says, "When your partner is venting, it's so important to let them finish and then actually ASK THEM if they want advice or comfort, chocolate or wine, a back rub or a new kitty, an all expenses paid trip to the bookstore or a solemn oath of vengeance ..."

“When we talk about fake news, we’re not talking about individuals sharing lies. We’re talking about an organized, deliberate effort on the part of resourced communities — the White right — to destabilize our understanding of what is happening in this society.” ~ Malkia Cyril, Center for Media Justice Executive Director LAX protest against Trump’s Muslim ban.

Each day at the park, I found these discarded shoes placed in different locations. The dog thought it was a treasure hunt.

The Colorado sun gives some old sheds a golden glow.

Photo of an old wood shed attached to a yellow warehouse. Shutters and bars cover the windows. The red door on the shed is locked. Paint is worn off and the wood is rotting. A red-and-white metal pole planted in cement juts out of the ground at an angle in front of the shed. The ground is brown and the sky is blue. Photo of an old blue wood building with rusty window screens under a brilliant blue sky. The afternoon sun blankets the surrounding field in gold.

We blame black cats for bad luck, but maybe the path was already unlucky—and the cat was just trying to warn us.

B&W photo of a cat silhouetted against the sidewalk, sitting in front of black metal wall art that extends along the city block. The wall art looks like silver bubbles floating on a black sky. Buildings with windows are in the blurred background.

#ICE pulled over your car? #KnowYourRights!

www.immigrantdefenseproject.org/wp-content/u...
BE AWARE! IDP has heard of ICE using aggressive and violent tactics including: - using vehicles to block the path of a car driving down the road; - breaking windows or opening a door to pull someone out of a car; - stopping a car with guns drawn, saying they are with the "narcotics squad." ICE tactics often change, so understand your rights to decide what is safest for your situation!
