Happy vernal equinox! Sure, I’m a couple of days late, but that’s cat time for you. They live on their own clock.

Today, I’m giving Domino a break from the rigors of weekly catblogging and highlighting my mother’s cats instead. On the left is Ditto (named, as you might recall, because when he was a kitten he looked just like one of my mother’s other cats). On the right is his brother Tillamook, whose naming origin should be fairly obvious. These pictures were taken last weekend, but obviously both of them were looking forward to spring even then.

THANKS FOR READING. NOW ONE QUICK ASK...

Trump and his allies are clamping down on the press—using lawsuits, lies, intimidation, and the power of the federal government. While major media outlets cave, Mother Jones won’t back down. To help us stand strong, a generous board member just chipped in a $50,000 digital matching gift. Will you help us make the most of it?

Every dollar you give online through September 30 will be matched dollar-for-dollar.

The forces working to demolish trust in the media and the very idea of shared facts are not slowing down. If you believe in kickass, truth-telling independent journalism, now is the time to show it. Please give what you can—any amount—and know that every dollar will go twice as far.
