I saw this and thought of you.

Fake photo of Mitch McConnel wearing a Black lives Matter T-shirt. He is holding a rainbow pride flag, and holding a sign that says “health care is a human right.” Mitch is sitting next to Bernie Sanders.

Graffiti with that says
There is no enemy like a friend betrayed. There is an American flag with a circle and diagonal line through it alongside the words.

A friend posted this earlier.

America 250 reminds me that it's time to re-post this poem by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. It used to my pinned post on Twitter. It certainly speaks to these times.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti (After Khalil Gibran) 2007

Pity the nation whose people are sheep
And whose shepherds mislead them

Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced
And whose bigots haunt the airwaves

Pity the nation that raises not its voice
Except to praise conquerors
And acclaim the bully as hero
And aims to rule the world
By force and by torture

Pity the nation that knows
No other language but its own
And no other culture but its own

Pity the nation whose breath is money
And sleeps the sleep of the too well fed

Pity the nation oh pity the people
who allow their rights to erode
and their freedoms to be washed away

My country, tears of thee
Sweet land of liberty!

First, the Akwesase singers taught some traditional social dances, then the RCMP performed their Musical Ride. Happy Indigenous People’s Day! I am thankful every day that we were led here by a series of welcoming people and good fortune.

Happy Solstice and Father's Day! I'm planning to attend an iconic Canadian event.

Once again, Sojourner Truth:

And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?

It was a great time at the Polish Fest in Ottawa. The coolest part was that the crowd attending the fair was so diverse.

A band plays on a stage with large letters spelling the word Ottawa in the background.

Our feral cat adopted *us. We had to leave him outside while we were cat-sitting our son’s cat, but he seemed to understand that we were good for regular food and a safe sleeping area.

Cat with tipped ear says 4 years ago I lived in the bush and hunted for my meals. Now My I have 2 passive incomes, my own house, and a personal chef. Follow me for financial advice.

LOL, a stray showed up in our yard a few years ago. My husband fell for him rig away, but I did everything to try to find him a home somewhere else. After he flopped and purred while I brushed him, though, I fell for him too.

I saw this post from X that someone posted earlier today. Trump is a reckless villain.

Text meme posted on the X platform, from Jason Kander. It reads, "You know that scene is an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the trump presidency."

This is an actual photo of the future Pope when he was in the seminary. Apparently he was a big fan of the Blues Brothers.

Also, cats do need to scratch to mark their territory. Find ways that they can scratch without destroying the furniture. duckduckgo.com?q=ikea+cat+s...

What animal made this? Dime in photo as a size reference.

I'm sorry for your loss, and know the feeling. I actually vowed to never own another cat, because the loss is so hard to bear. Then a stray from a nearby cat colony wandered into our yard, and decided to stay. He chose us.

My rescue kitty.

Black cat with big eyes and tipped ear sits in a shopping bag, looking adorable.

The regime is lying. He was not brandishing his weapon. The actions of the ICE agents were in no way standard law enforcement practice. This is unacceptable!

Freeze frame video taken before the execution of Alex Pretti that shows him with one hand up and the other holding a phone. He is standing still, with face turned away toward another person. His left foot is turned slightly inward. A masked agent charges toward him.

Christmas plans got cancelled due to possible flu. After a virtual family gathering, I went outside to check out the animal tracks. Does anyone want to weigh in on whether these are dog family prints?

Schumer VERY bearish on ACA deal in January. Mentioned toothpaste being out of tube 5 times just now

"You can't do it after Jan. 1. Especially when the issues of Hyde and [for] all of these people -- it's expired already. It's not the same as it was before. The toothpaste is out of the tube"

This seems to be where we are these days. I feel that AI is constantly shoved at me, whether it makes sense to use it or not.

Two lemonade stands sit side-by-side in front of a house. The one that just says Lemondade" has a person sitting alone, looking at the other stand. The stand next to, which also says "Powered by AI," has a long line of customers in front of it.
