If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

Judge #BerylHowell rules that #Trump / #DOGE's *entire takeover* of the U.S. Institute of Peace #USIP was unlawful—including the removal of board members & termination of programs.

Her order is very long—she not only reinstates the true board members but also boots DOGE's imposter board members & nullifies all of the illegal actions they took during their illegitimate takeover of the Institute of Peace.

Affirmation for the day.

A spaceship landed in the park. A door dilated and an alien emerged. It skittered to a notice board and carefully studied one of the posters.

It returned to the spaceship and soon came out carrying a cat and a mobile phone.

"Hi, we have found your cat Pebbles...Yes... Our secret base on Ganymede."

Their priorities couldn't be clearer.
“Trump has been constructing a nationwide enforcement regime to carry out a purge of millions of immigrants, whether or not they have any criminal history; indeed regardless of whether they have an official legal status or protection, even a permanent resident green card. Rather than prioritizing enforcement at the border, he is expanding border enforcement—with its special provisions that reduce due process—across the country. (1/2)
@bittersweetdb A couple of months still, but today Michael's partner Chi arrived from Hanoi after a 22-hour journey (faulty plane led to delays).
She's lovely (we've met her in Hanoi) and he's been counting down the days. ❤️❤️❤️
Next month Chris and his partner Megan will be welcoming their son (and our first grandchild!), then Rex will get here in April.
So it's going to be a busy couple of months for us!
Any developments, Barcelona-wise?
@bittersweetdb We'd love to, but Rex will be arriving in a few weeks and three would be one too many. 😔
The problem in Oz is the racing industry, which breeds too many dogs each year.
Meanwhile, Remi has laser focus on Chris's pizza...
