    Happened to us with one of our old ladies who passed a couple years ago.

    She was walking around all hunched for a day or so, yowling at everything. We got lucky though, the vet used a rectal thermometer and that unclogged the pipes in quick fashion!



  • The money and activism was from his PAC, Leaders We Deserve. He just can’t also advocate from the inside anymore, which is a shame.

    It seems probable that he had already made his point internally and was facing the grind of bureaucracy with the competing agenda.

    I know Ken Martin (DNC chair) is a shrewd operator, so with what little hope I have left for a progressive party takeover, I want to believe this signals tacit acceptance if not approval. This might play out something like this: As Hogg’s primary challengers meet polling thresholds against incumbents, we would see a “retargeting” of DNC funds from the incumbents to spend against Republicans elsewhere. They can’t actually cut off incumbents for what should be clear reasons (literally politics). And let’s be real: Ken will also be considering the post election power of successful incumbents; i.e. any ramp down will take into account the existing party power of the incumbents.

    I’m not hopeful that we’ll see any big power brokers fall. I am hopeful that he can get several loud progressive voices elected to start reversing this rightward ratcheting.
















  • You’re gonna need to help us with that charge.

    Seems like he waved a flag.

    In the wake of the Coachella display, supporters of Israel combed through Kneecap’s back catalogue of performances in search of something they could use to attack the band without having to acknowledge the charge of genocide, against which there is no credible defense. London’s Metropolitan Police have now accused Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who goes by the name “Mo Chara” (“my friend”) when performing, of waving a Hezbollah flag during a gig last November “in such a way or in such circumstances as to arouse reasonable suspicion that he is a supporter of a proscribed organisation.”
