With 150.000 others, we draw a red line to urge our government to condemn the genocide in Gaza. And we'll be ready for a repeat. Last month, it took our premier three days to respond to 100.000 protesters. Now he reacted with just a lie on X.

Monday? Doesn't ring a bell.
A ragdoll cat is on the sidewalk slowly trying to get up his forefeet, his hind legs behind failing to follow (they are still laying sidewards).

From The Atlantic’s '100-days' Interview With Donald Trump.
www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
From The Atlantic’s interview with Donald Trump: "As ever, Trump was on the hunt for a deal. If he liked the story we wrote, he said, he might even speak with us again. “Tell the people at The Atlantic, if they’d write good stories and truthful stories, the magazine would be hot,” he said. Perhaps the magazine can risk forgoing hotness, he suggested, because it is owned by Laurene Powell Jobs, which buffers it, he implied, from commercial imperatives. But that doesn’t guarantee anything, he warned. “You know at some point, they give up,” he said, referring to media owners generally and—we suspected—Bezos specifically. “At some point they say, No más, no más.” He laughed quietly."

Pardon me, neighbor, please 🙏 I'd appreciate it if you would take that somewhere else. As you can see, I'm in the middle of yoga class 🙏 I would be grateful for your attention and participation 🙏 No, no, no, that is not a playdate invitation!

Judge James Boasberg is getting to know the Trump administration very well. He just got assigned to the Signalgate lawsuit, while already handling the case of Venezuelan migrants being sent to El Salvador prisons.
