Someone earned a green star at the groomers. He was not impressed.

Found at the Museo de Arte Zapopan. A rug made with two materials. The dark brown rugs are round, brown stones. The white rugs are made of teeth.

Chap is back in the hospital with similar symptoms to last time. Here’s hoping they can find the underlying cause

Chap is doing better. The longer test for Addison’s was negative and they aren’t sure what caused his health episode.

Chap, a red and white Pembroke corgi with a tail, sits on a hardwood floor. He wears a Batman bow tie and looks at the camera with kind and alert eyes.

Thinking of this little guy. He’s in the hospital with possible Addison’s.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."

That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.

It’s disgusting and dangerous.

If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.

Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.

To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

Rep. Nancy Mace Shouts Anti-Trans Slur 3 Times In A Row At Hearing And Goes Unpunished The congresswoman has been behind multiple recent attempts to target transgender people, including her own colleague, transgender congresswoman Sarah McBride

1. Yesterday, Representative Nancy Mace shouted an anti-trans slur into the microphone at a congressional hearing three times in a row.

When pointed out that she was egregiously breaking decorum, the chair ruled she was not.

Sometimes you need to unplug for the weekend and connect with nature. Very close to nature.

Opinion | There Is No Going Back The president’s opponents, whoever they are, cannot expect a return to the Constitution as it was.

Yeah so the Constitution isn’t really in effect right now

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

As one of the many international researchers personally invested & ultra proud of what the US Vera Rubin Observatory has and will achieve thisπŸ‘‡ is not OK. My heart is sinking for my amazing πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ-based colleagues. For decades you've led the way for STEM DEI initiatives - time for Europe to step up. πŸ§ͺπŸ”­πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬

I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask:

"Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?"

And see what happens.

May I never grow so cold and callous that less than 24 hours after the death of a plane full of people and multiple servicemen, my first instinct is to cast blame on the innocent.

DC Children's Hospital has just contacted me to tell me my reporting is "inaccurate" that they have stopped providing gender affirming care.

How is it inaccurate?

They still provide "mental healthcare."

Read my response.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or β€œcontroversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.

They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.

Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.

I think about it a lot in moments like this.
