The sources for this WSJ article about “Democrats” are: Third Way, a guy who was a Deputy Mayor 25 years ago, and a Republican consultant
Report from the Amsterdam protest: there are a few hundred people here and two uniformed Dutch cops at a respectful distance very casually chatting with each other while they wait for nothing to hurry up and happen.
A lot of people are tourists (American or otherwise) who happened to see the protest because the US consulate is between several museums. They’re all like “hell yeah I’m stopping for this.” Passing bikes ring their bells (some of them might even be in support and not because Americans are standing on the bike path). I don’t know where someone in Amsterdam found an enormous California bear flag on such short notice
And yes, everyone loves Odin, who randomly decided to put his paws up on my shoulders when we were very visible to the crowd

Putin and Trump spoke on the phone again today. Topics of conversation: the Iran–Israel war, the Russia–Ukraine war, and one monarch wishing the other a happy 79th birthday.

We are home safe and sound. It was a little on the warm side, but since it was cloudy, I judged it’d be no worse than being at home for Odin (since like most Dutch homes we have no AC) as long as he had enough water. He’s panting it out now.
By the time the American protest ended, a second, unrelated protest of the Turkish consulate next door had developed. Someone said they were clearly better at this than the Americans, because they were serving potluck.

I love that description
@fasnix his tongue is literally always doing that. Don’t worry, it was cloudy most of the time, he was given water regularly, and is home now sleeping on the floor.
In English, calling that his mouth is fine. If you want to be more precise about his nonhuman anatomy, you can say muzzle.
