My two cats, a Birman and a tuxedo, curled up and asleep in a patch of sun. They aren’t touching but they are close together and relaxed.

Omg!!!! Looooooook!!! I cannot emphasize enough that this is the first time in recorded history that Armani and Vera have been this close together and no one was trying to pick a fight.

Is planting trees 'DEI'? Trump administration cuts nationwide tree-planting effort The Trump administration's efforts to end DEI programs is hitting some unexpected targets, including a nationwide effort planting shade trees in neighborhoods to reduce extreme heat.

I’m tired of all the moral cowardice.

And now I’ve never been angrier about it.

Walz: "It's so obscene that he would put a mock classroom -- we all know he's never been in one. He wouldn't last for a minute. He's surrounded by people who know nothing about education. They want to make this about bureaucracy and cutting. This is about children."

Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

You can't change a game, when the game you think you're playing, is rigged.
