Realised I've never shared Napoleon the feral kitty's story here, so here we go.
This is Napoleon, and this is the story of his nine-month journey from a hungry, desperate feral street cat to snuggly duvet monster. /1 🧵 #cats

"The MAGA movement effectively has the GOP locked in a death spiral, with Republican primaries decided by radical social conservatives, many of whom inhabit a bizarre, alternative reality built on conspiracies and lies. These voters will insist upon elevating and nominating the most extreme candidates, including Trump, even while most of America rejects and recoils at the thought, and even if it means resounding defeat in the general election."

We left the patio door open though. Because by that point both my wife and I had admitted we'd quite like it if he came back.
But we'd decided it had to be up to him.
That done, I went upstairs for a nap.
And then, about two hours later, I was woken by the feeling of something trying to snuggle up between my arm and my side... /22
So, not for nothing, but using your position as the dominant party in state legislatures to *checks notes* bar your elected opposition from partaking in government or for that matter speaking, is pretty much textbook fascism as someone in my Discord pointed out.
Notice how it's NOT a bunch of SS guys going to her house, it's using the legalist trappings of the existing system to seize power and silence opposition. Like how I told you fascism always ACTUALLY works.
South Tower
Shot from the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge on a cold winter day. It may not look like like it and it's kind of a paradox, The Golden Bridge is clearer on a cold winter day than it is all during the sunny summer.
I would like to think that with the color saturation and the sharpness and clarity of detail would allow this image to stand out above the others.

The current generation of American retirees is the first to navigate retirement without the support of pensions, relying instead on private savings to navigate the financial vortex of retirement. https://t.co/4mRZ0so3Ny

Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
