* "Humiliating Kashmir is part of Modi’s plan to remake India:" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/aug/06/narendra-modi-india-kashmir-revoke-special-status

"The solidification of the cult of Modi has been accompanied by an aggressive erosion of the legal and constitutional foundations on which the Indian republic stands. Last week the government arrogated to itself powers to designate individuals as terrorists. Presumption of innocence, legal representation and the right to judicial appeal – everything that distinguishes a civilised democracy from an autocracy – is severely restricted. Muslims and other minorities, favoured quarry of the lynch mobs emboldened by the regime, will be the principal targets of the new measures."

I can tell she still has urgency, but she's been making it to the office box since Midnight, and she had too good pees in the night. I've also observed more running, leaping, and grooming behavior, though not up to Livia normal level.

I ordered 24 case of the big cans of medicinal wet and the largest bag of the medicinal kibble. I would very much like to that all of you who contributed to getting her the special food. It's cheaper to buy everything at once with the discount code. If there are no accidents, tomorrow I'll set out the kibble sample.
