Don't hold your breath, but if you have a moderate Republican senator now might be a good time to express your opinion.

If you can not protest in person, here are some other options:

Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to the representative of your choice.

"In addition to providing an overview of domestic terrorism threats the document includes an appendix summarizing select incidents over the past few years. Two of the Valve Turners are listed alongside violent white supremacists such as Dylann Roof and James Fields, who have both been convicted of murdering innocent civilians. Roof killed nine black churchgoers in a rampage in South Carolina. Fields drove his car into a group of activists protesting a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing one and injuring at least 19 others.

The document also states that “racial and environmentally themed ideologies” were among the primary drivers of terrorist attacks in the United States during this time.

Mike German, a former FBI agent who is now a fellow with the Brennan Center for Justice, wrote in an email that

the DHS framing was “highly misleading because white supremacists are responsible for the bulk of this violence and almost all of the fatalities that result”. “There is little evidence,” he added, “that environmentalists have engaged in the types of deadly violence that would meet the statutory definition of domestic terrorism, as codified by Congress”."

* Imperial and Royal Forces have started skirmishing over my desk and sofa. The arguments have been inconclusive and the furry people are not sure who owns what now.

It snowed Sunday, which usually onl happens a couple times a Winter. Given the amount and the temperature, I correctly guessed I wouldn't be able to leave the house today. By evening there were no paths to the car yet. I've split Livia's last can. I don't know when I'll be safe to leave the house again.

I spent the day and evening sleeping under a sedimentary layer of cats. I think a may be turning the corner on the pathogen, but we'll see.

* Thank you benefactor, for sending Livia's cat food money. It'll need time to transfer, so there'll be a gap on her goosh, but there are enough of the prescription kibbles left that no one will actually go hungry. Let's hope hersystem can handle it.
