I've posted as TheZenPuppy on Twitter since 2009, but seeking less toxic realms nowadays. I believe in education, equality, science, books, conservation, animal rescue, and a kinder and better world for all living things.

Around the country, we’re seeing a parallel evolution: whimsy as the logical response to MAGA’s nonsense.
For many, the cleanest response to violence isn’t a manifesto—it’s a snort-laugh and a unicorn horn. It’s “I don’t know what that means, but I do know you’re full of shit.” trib.al/ZFhlDdR

How No Kings Embraced the Good Kind of Weird—and Won the Normies
In New Braunfels, Texas, a red county turned out against Trump, and made a joyous noise that was as American as apple pie ... or a fighting unicorn.

You can see why MARINES are necessary.
This is the spirit of Los Angeles.
This is California.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection
Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state

I’ve watched too many of these raids to count. This one is one of the most infuriating in recent memory.
Appropriate that we learn about it on the same day SCOTUS hears oral arguments for a case that may remove the last remaining way to hold federal agents accountable for this kind of terror.

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

“She thought she knew more about American government than did any American.” Jimmy Carter responding in 2015 to a then-Phd student studying Margaret Thatcher. Remarkable! 🗃️
When I was a PhD student, I wrote to President Carter asking of his relationship with Thatcher. It was a long shot & never in a million years did I believe he’d respond. He will forever be my favourite historical source & a President that I can’t not admire. I’ve read everything he’s ever said #RIP

Bill Webster was also a US Attorney and a Federal Judge. He left the bench to run the FBI, and then the CIA. Savvy, sound, judicious and only interested in what is best for the USA.
William Webster, the only person to lead both the FBI and CIA, is raising objections over whether Kash Patel & Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's picks to be directors of the FBI and national intelligence, are qualified to serve in the Cabinet. He says neither nominee meets the demands of top intelligence jobs.
