Quick intro for those who didn’t follow me on the other app. I get overwhelmed at times so I might dip out and go silent without warning periodically. I do not , I repeat do not like being center of attention. In fact being perceived is…..hard lol. And I’m an introvert who loves cats 🐈

Friday night massacre. The CDC just lost dozens of its top scientists and its entire D.C. office. This isn’t streamlining the government - it’s dismantling our ability to detect and respond to outbreaks before they spread. You can’t cut your way to safety

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Based on the most recent reports from community members & rapid response teams, ICE is now arresting people - including U.S citizens- for ‘impeding.’

This is happening to the people that drive around honking to alert people that they’re in the area and those that record them

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

What a relief. They ate the minnow 😭

I sure hope my cats aren’t as picky as I am. Their freeze dried shrimp I put as a topping on their dinner went up in price so I’m switching brands. Plus I’m going to see if they like freeze dried minnows.
