Still nomadic so no familiars currently, but meet Mini and the sole kitten she had in her ~14 years of life. To my knowledge, Kittin still acts as in-house cat for a long-term care facility.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Nuclear nonproliferation is dead. No nation will ever, ever give up its nukes again.

This is the worst outcome of America's capitulation to Russia, and nobody is reporting on it.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.

Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.

Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

See how this works?

America is cutting $880 billion from Medicaid to force poor people to die so billionaire's can yacht.

We are such an amoral, Christian Nationalist country that hates the teachings of Jesus.

This needs repeating.

Also note how much real estate is backed by crypto these days. And who's pushing for even MORE crypto.

I'm just a random Canadian of no notoriety whatsoever, but how I'd love for someone with more clout to delve into the impending real estate crash, à la '08.
