Trumpβs SOTU revealed the only thing Suzanne Collins got wrong when she wrote The Hunger Games: the idea that the game show is a function of the government rather than the WAY the government functions. You can find this & more in this weekβs βElie v. US.β

Just look at our sweet little Mochi making amazing progress in his foster home! This sweet baby came from a one of our community cat colonies and is starting to show his playful nature in foster. We knew this guy was going to win some hearts once he got comfortable!

Have a good safe #JellyBellyFriday! #cats
Awe, thanks. It's a highboy dresser I was on. It's my penthouse apartment! πΉ
What's that?! It's #caturday?!? #cats
The universe requires balance
a fluffy grey tabby in a white fuzzy desk bed suspended above a desk on a black metal bar. behind him is a fluffy black kitten sitting on the arm of an orange loveseat.
Anyway I saw someone post a photo the other day with a cat desk bed and was like "CAT DESK BED?!!?" so I forced my brother to buy me one (sorry buddy) and attached it to the desk about 15 minutes ago
Uptake is 100% so far!
Have a good #WhiskersWednesday #cats
A quiet #catboxsunday for me
"The agents gave her an ankle monitor and let the family go a few blocks from Federal Plaza on a frigid night with a dead cell ... Her 8-year-old son wakes up crying at night. Her daughter is sent home each day with a new stuffed animal that teachers have given her to try to quell her meltdowns."
Thanks!! Yep, it's mostly sleet now but I'm staying warm!!
First they killed children and Republicans did nothing because they were not children.
Now theyβre killing adults and Republicans will do nothing because they are not adults.
Thanks, Iris!! β€οΈβ€οΈ
Good morning, family and. Happy Saturday! Thinking about those in the US in the path of the storm. Please keep warm and safe. π
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
John Mitnick @JohnMitnick I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department. I am enraged and embarrassed by DHSβs lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty. Impeach and remove Trumpβnow. George Conway βοΈπΊπΈ @gtconway3d The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.
Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."
Alex Pretti was a union member of AFGE Local 3699
His murder increases the likelihood of another general strike in Minneapolis.
My newsletter looks at whatβs next as labor responds to his murder by ICE agent
The CBP agent pushes a woman onto the ground and peppers sprays her, the man is trying to protect her from them and help her up, which they respond to by pepper spraying him, tackling him, and then shooting him from behind. Itβs one of the most upsetting things Iβve ever seen happen in America
this is how you create a state identity that supersedes national identity.
like, if you wanted states to start seceding, this would be the first step.

Today, Gray Wolves in 44 states still have federal protectionsβbut those protections are under attack. The U.S. House just passed a bill that would see wolves delisted nationwide.
Join us NOW in telling the Senate to oppose any anti-wolf bills! app.sosha.ai/s/9DSVAK5K
Friends, I need your advice
I want to raise funds to buy a charging station for my friend Maryna and her cat Xenia
They live in a dangerous area of Kyiv and fully depend on electricity
No gas, only an electric stove, and central heating also depends on power
Would you support this?
The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car.
He said βdo something b*tchβ and shot her 5 times.
The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled βf*cking bitchβ.
They hate women & it shows.
Oh it's still #JellyBellyFriday?? #cats #catsofbluesky
When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."
That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.
OK sounds good!
Thanks, Iris! Sending hugs to you all
Happy Hoppy #BunnyButtFriday EveryBun ππ₯°
Such a busy #Caturday...
