"I am happy because everyone loves me"

@geckzilla @Fishercat

YES! This is the kind of cats. She's wonderful.

@saltywizard

This is like space. It's amazing.

@MissInformation

Lets not be over-polite those are stubby legs.

Cute little stubby legs.

@jared

Such a sweet slightly sad and put-upon face. Wonderful cat.

This is what I mean by a cat with slightly but not too, too short legs.

(I have learned these are called "cobby cats" which means you could have a "cobby moggy")

Whenever I hear the phrase "ant fact" or "bug fact" I have to share this music video:

@johnzajac

I think talking now about what will be required to clean things up is helpful. Setting expectations.

This won't be easy, powerful and wealthy people have way of closing ranks that I didn't really appreciate until recently.

This is part of why I think the Epstein files remain important. There is a broad understanding of what that represents.

Only 15 percent of the public are "happy" with how the files have been released.

@johnzajac

"Do we really need to keep rehashing the past?"

Yes. Or it will never become "the past."

@johnzajac

"Probably a harder fight than crushing the fash, tbh."

We know this and go in ready for the BS this time.

@jztusk @jmelesky

This is a lesson. We are supposed to learn to walk by and not take a video or ask a question when we see a bunch of guys pile out of a van and grab someone.

If only these horrible agitators and politicians and media would stop confusing the public. We might realize that although it might "look bad" that they have snatched a crying child, in reality it's all for our own good.

How simple do they think we are?

@jztusk @jmelesky

If you try to help the wrong person. If you are in the wrong place. If you have the wrong opinions?

You might get shot shot dead. Ms. Noem thinks that's all on you.

This we are told is the price of... of freedom?

That can't be right, can it?

Maybe it is the price of ... safety? Safety from what?

ICE is the most terrifying thing on the streets of our cities. If you see them beating a woman you better not help. So they say.

The public backlash is so vast no one is buys "it's paid agitators" anymore.

Noem and Bovino are desperate that the people who have supported and trusted them and Trump do not look more closely at what ICE is really doing.

At the same time they continue to kill, to scare us into stopping.

I'm hopeful that this will fail.

This is a big crack. This "they are well meaning people who have been fooled" line. 3/3

I really wish that were the case as it would imply leadership from some of the more powerful Democrats that has been far too absent.

Of course it has worked in exactly the opposite way. People see what ICE is doing and we have pressured and twisted the arms of Democrats until they have started to take it seriously.

But I find it interesting that this is their line of defense. "The protestors are confused, and this gets them killed"

As if ICE were the weather. 2/

Kristi Noem, US Secretary of Homeland Security, and Gregory Bovino long time "senior official" in the US Border Patrol, who seems to have no further formal title despite being a high profile spokesman have both said that "politicians and media" have confused, us, the public about what ICE is really doing.

When they aren't calling protestors "paid agitators" they insist that we have been mislead by "democrats" to think that ICE is out of control.

1/

You may have seen the story about the journalist who was hired by ICE despite failing a drug test.

Here is an interview with Laura Jedeed who went to an ICE job expo, filled out the forms and discovered a disturbing level of desperation in the ICE hiring process. It's not "as bad as you think" ... it is worse.

I've never watched this youTube channel "What A Day" before but it seems interesting. Is anyone familiar with it?

@heri @fraunora

I think it's good to not get stuck using one comparison over and over, or to flatten historical events so that they become a shorthand for more complex ideas.

And I agree with the point that in the US we often look to WW2 when we could find examples in our own history that are more salient.

@jerzone @Natasha_Jay

Is Bing in the center of the top row?

@Natasha_Jay

Pica has a very expressive face. And she has a lot of emotions and ideas that she wants YOU to know about.

I'm biased but I think she's exceptional even among cats in this. But, anyone can prove me wrong by posting photos of all of the funny faces your cat makes. (could this be a ploy to get more cat photos? oh no no no never )
