The first White House Iftar dinner was held 50 years before the founding of the GOP. Our Muslim family, friends, and neighbors are welcome, and they aren’t going anywhere. We unequivocally reject the vile Islamophobia on display and remain committed to driving it out of our politics and government.

Multiple Republicans in Congress post openly anti-Muslim statements At least four congressional Republicans have expressed anti-Islamic sentiments on social media in the wake of the Iran War and recent violent attacks in the U.S.

The 12yo has declared it Picasso Bug Awareness Day!

The colours on this gorgeous bug are a warning to predators who are apparently scared of sophisticated patterns in teal, cream, vermillion and black. Also they emit noxious odours when disturbed to say “Stay away! I’m pretty and stink!”

INSURANCE LAWYER REACTS!

Illustration of a small fluffy creature that is half cat, half dragon, with black fur, tiny wings, breathing a small stream of fire. Above it, the text reads: “Fluff up your courage, unleash your magic. You’re a dragon, go breathe fire!” The background is a soft green sky fading into yellow grass, creating a playful and uplifting scene.

Wishing you a gentle day, sending you a little courage and reminding you that you might have more fire than you think 🐉🐈‍⬛🤍
