SEATTLE! ***๐Ÿ’•GRACIE NEEDS HER FOREVER HOME๐Ÿ’•*** This foster girl is THE SWEETEST, goofiest, funniest, most loyal companion anyone could want. She is easy-going with humans, loves men AND women & teens. (No idea about littles) She has loads of energy and LOVES to SWIM, go for walks, SWIM, fetch, sniff, hang out with her people. Easy personality, friendly or indifferent with other dogs on walks. She can be situational with packs of dogs so no dog parks. She is perfect for one, two or a family of humans - the more human attention, the better! Food is her other passion. She is very food motivated -which can be helpful if she is in a Diva mood. She is not a morning girl - likes to sleep in given the chance. And goes to bed early if she doesn't like what you have on TV. She has a strong prey drive for cats, not so much around bunnies or squirrels although she notices them. She has some arthritis so a home with limited steps would be best. She can do some but a steep staircase would be a long term challenge. She on her second go 'round in foster care and it is not her fault. She was surrendered 2+ years ago by her family of 9 years. ๐Ÿ˜ญ Adopted for 2 years then surrendered again due to death in the family and caregiver issues. Again, not her fault ! EVERYONE who meets her falls in love. Are you the right fit? She is a big girl, a very active senior and wants to be the only dog in the house - not too much to ask for a dog this adorkable and sweet. Adoption fee is covered at SavingGreatAnimals.org. Happy blond lap/pit mix smiling in the car Happy blond lap/pit mix sitting on a dock with two people standing behind her Happy blond lap/pit mix being petted by three children in a park

Not only is it going to be a hunger crisis, it's going to be a farm crisis. All those gallons of milk bought from dairy farmers, all the produce, all the on sale ground beef and packs of chicken that are paid for by SNAP are subsidies to farmers who don't qualify for commodities subsidies.

No one should be treated like this. ICE must release all pregnant people in their custody, immediately.

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

Senate Dems are demanding answers about Trump's White House demolition and whether any of the donors could be engaging in "quid pro quo arrangements."

Sen. Elizabeth Warren and colleagues are requesting a detailed accounting of the donors and specifics about the contracting and approval process.

Not a single day goes by that I donโ€™t think to myself itโ€™s unlikely I will live to see the end of this era of fascism.

Thatโ€™s not doomerism. Itโ€™s a recognition of how long it historically takes for these things to play out.

THIS IS NOT THE WORLD I WANTED TO LEAVE MY DAUGHTER.

Or, you could not, and be financially and legally secure so you can participate in the larger collective actions. Join in a local organization working on this type of stuff. Join in with the larger general strikes. You are not a one-person savior of the nation. You are a cog, and that's entirely ok.

In a capitalistic system you always need a visible underclass to keep the population in line. If they got rid of Black Americans (because Native Americans are pretty much invisible), then that means certain groups of White Americans would become the new underclass and they're not going to have that.

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, itโ€™s extremely likely the GOP canโ€™t get a majority on that court until 2029.

The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race.

Canโ€™t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...
Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts
The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democratsโ€™ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.
