I wanted to go to one of the local No Kings but I’ve been sick with bronchitis for the last week and decided to instead drive by and honk in support. Over a third of a mile of folks lined the highway near Marist College! I got teary eyed seeing so many people standing up for our country and constitution.
I have filled Cat the Ripper's bowls and sang the "Good Morning, Feline Fiend" song that I've made up just this minute, but for some reason Ripper is making himself scarce.
I hear you, Skepti. I had to have a CT scan of my noodle (no, not that one, you pervs) earlier this week in the ER and they told me I'd had two separate "silent strokes". The first one was a few years ago according to the neurologist based upon her reading of the CT results. The most recent was more recent. Last weekend I had what they termed as a TIA. That one has impaired my vision and has kept me from driving. I, sadly, cannot drive to our local No Kings Day gathering for the resistance festivities, only 8 miles away. Nor can I enjoy my older Italian motorbikes until further notice. My motorbikes are my version of proper therapy.
I have made it to the previous gatherings but im unable to get there for this one.
For those that are able to attend, know that I wish I could be there in good health and am shouting support from my recovery bed here at home.
Now I feel more than a little horrible for feeling sorry for myself.
Please just follow your doctor’s orders and do what’s necessary to prevent any further neurologic events. I’ve already suffered a couple of such events and now live with the resulting blindness in one eye as well as neurological deficits to my left side.
There will be no feeling sorry for ones own condition. For all that we suffer, it is relative. Be assured that there are 10s of millions suffering more on this earth than we may be. You know this, of course, so please excuse me for mentioning the obvious.
All the love and kindness to you and paul and the ripper.
And the same goes for the rest of you roustabouts, racontuers, and patriots on this special day.
Calvin, Republican from CA calls into C-Span this a.m., rambles about the draft, increased military enlistment age, how Israel is controlling the US, then "I also figured that, how can I cum without sticking my finger in my a**". Crazy. Sounds like a stoner, it was 4 a.m. there.
Thank you Robyn

Sure, I respect my cats, but do they respect me??????
Ooh, ooh, I know the answer to this one!
No.

Where, oh where, have the Epstein files gone?
416 days, and counting.

Cough them up, you criminal fucks. We're not going away.
No Kings + EPSTEIN FILES + Caturday?

We've just confirmed that Epstein's lawyers hired private investigators to remove potentially critical evidence from his Florida mansion.
Oversight Democrats are demanding access to these hard drives and files, especially if they provide insight into Epstein's crimes.
I have filled Cat the Ripper's bowls and sang the "Good Morning, Feline Fiend" song that I've made up just this minute, but for some reason Ripper is making himself scarce.
I can't imagine why.
"Feline Fiend." Indeed.
He thinks something is up.
Indictments for all by the end of the year. That’s my dream. And by all, I mean all members of the current administration.
And he’s dead?
OT: I want to take part in history today but don't know how in the hell I'm going to make it to the protest, dammit.
I shouldn't be so angry on such an important day.
There are big virtual rallies too.

I’ll have to make some noise online.
At least that won’t prompt the neighbors to call the police like all of this virulent cursing is going to.

I'm too young for this shit.
I sympathize.

We’ve both suffered more than enough already.

I adore you all.
I’m so sorry you’re going through all that. It must be scary. I hope you have a speedy and full recovery.
I was not scared, just grateful I was in a place where they could help me if/when things took a quick turn for the worse.
As a three time cancer survivor, (one quite life threate
ning) im accustomed to things being refined to statistical probabilities. So far I've been lucky.
Re: recovery, im not sure there is one according to the neurologist so I'll need to adapt i suppose.

What's the difference between Iran and Vietnam?
Trump had a plan to get out of Vietnam!
Noice.
I am going to use that on my MAGA brother, thank you!

Sweeties Ella and Dottie, cuddle bunnies. Respect! (And skritches.)
After last night, my cats need to earn back some respect. Fuckers.
I don't even want to know what they did.

If you're heading out to a protest, there are a number of concepts to keep in mind to keep yourself—and your data—safe. https://ssd.eff.org/module/attending-protest
Say what you will, but Saul Alinsky had some decent moves. Saul Hudson also too.

Interesting that kitteh went for the seafood medley kibble instead of the wet food.

Did the lights go out when you came? If so, it might not have been your finger up your ass.
Pinhead.

Let’s start the #NoKings day festivities with a footage from Oslo Norway where many people came at the Lincoln Monument to rally.
Sign in required.
They have a Lincoln Monument in Norway?
Drove me to drinkin'.
The internet says yes https://digitalhorizonsonline.org/digital/collection/uw/id/1650/
Sorry about no link ... Bsky users only. And yes, apparently there is a Lincoln Memorial in Oslo.

No Kings Paris

Trump done made the French speak English at a protest in Paris. What a time to be alive!
The French have some prior experience with the concept too.
It's not a real French protest until there's a car on fire, right?
They have this checklist of things, you know.
Or a queen with an itchy neck
They took No Cakes too far, those French persons.
It's a radical diet...
