Alas, OITRW, ICE has not been melted. They are still out there doing terrible, terrible things to people in our communities who in no way deserve the treatment they are getting. We cannot look away, but we do need some relief as well. That is what The Panda Chronicles is here for.
Also cake. There must be cake.
All we can do is keep on keeping on, and add as much kindness as we can to our daily lives. My most recent Substack thingie is about keeping going in the face of the insanity that smacks us in the face every morning. Making art, drawing pandas, and knowing you all are out there going through this too is what is going to get me through this, at least until it isn’t. I hope you’ll hop like a bunny over to read my piece called Despite Everything. And feel free to subscribe, which you can do for free or for a modest sum, if that is an option for you. Or you could send me a linzertorte. That works too.
Be the Bear Bob T raspberry Linzertorte is my favorite Panda
PPJ has entered the story…what could possibly go wrong?
We can be sure that PPJ has some clever ideas on combatting the forces of evil, and the ICE Maiden. At least, I think we can be sure. The next episode is still revealing itself to me.
Till next time… Be the Bear Bob T is that a chill in the air? a disturbance in the Force? Panda
That’s right! Pinky has entered the chat! If Pinky can’t fix this, nobeary can. After all, Pinky has a secret weapon: Princess Pinky Junior.
Sending out a big thanks to all who came out on Saturday to say: NOPE! NO KINGS! Unofficial estimates are 12.1 MILLION people came out across the country and not only in typical Democratic strongholds. Keep the pressure up!
You know I don’t mean to cause trauma to the pandas, but we are living this in real time in the real world. I don’t know where this ends, either in our story here, or in the real world. We are all immigrants, or the children or grandchildren of immigrants.
Today, The Ice Maiden had a sitting US Senator ARRESTED for asking a question at a press conference. Where does this end?
I know that many of you think of the Panda Chronicles as a safe haven. Oh sure, we make fun of Mittens and his evil spawn and minions, but with times being what they are, sometimes the most troubling nooz stories won’t stray from our thoughts.
I know that some of you might have a hard time with this story. I’m not sure where it goes and I will do my best to give it a happy ending, unlike so of many of the stories we are hearing about, not to mention the ones that are not as high profile so as to get a lot of coverage.
The Mittenv2.0 regime claimed (a lie, we know) that he was only going to deport the most hardened criminals. But that is not what is happening. People who are neighbors. People who are co-workers. People who have built lives and families and businesses are among those who are getting swept up in this cruel version of The Hunger Games.
We now present…
This story started forming in my head a few weeks ago, and it wouldn’t go away. We need to not look away from this humanitarian crisis within our own borders.
Every day brings a new atrocity, a new incursion against integrity, against propriety, against the country, against the Constitution. Firing of the Librarian of Congress. Another fighter jet sliding into the sea. Another day of chaos at another airport.
The list goes on and on and on.
Now Elmo’s goon squad sent another email demanding daily accounting of where all the federal employees are working from.
Surely you don’t think the zoo is exempt, do you?
That QB is quite the corker, isn’t she? Queen Bee indeed!
As government employees, Binky Li and Qing Bao are not exempt from the requirement to send an email to e-loon, listing 5 things they have accomplished this week. I think you’ll agree that they are accomplishing much more important things than anyone from The Department of Grift and Extortion.
It remains to be seen whether what can be broken so quickly will be able to be repaired in my lifetime.
Always choose the bears.
Thank goodness Ping is there to guide our young pandas through the challenges of life in DC.
Be the Bear and Panda on Bob T hanging in there for the moment Panda
