You have to open the post I’m quoting to see what this is in reference to but nothing about rabies is cute. It has a 100% mortality rate. Do not tee-hee over rabid animals thinking they can bite your pet through glass—get your pet AWAY from a situation that might end in “whoopsie!” IT IS NOT CUTE.
Regardless of fox’s actual rabies status.

This is your reminder vaccinate for rabies. Always. Even if indoor only.

The ONLY way to test for rabies is euthanize the animal and remove brain tissue. There is no live test for rabies and your state/local health department will not play

You can search by zip code and a lot of places have wish lists set up on Chewy so you’ll be able to see exactly what they need and have it sent direct to them. Couldn’t be easier.
if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Portland City Council will consider an amendment next week to redirect $4.3 million from the city program that sweeps homeless encampments. If passed, the budget adjustment will instead invest $2 million in rent and food assistance, and support for immigrants and refugees.

A big part of the right’s reaction to Mamdani’s victory is the idea that “mass migration” has transformed NYC and threatens to transform America.

But if foreigners are ruining America, then women, whose tender disposition favors so much immigration to begin with, are accomplices in that ruination.
Some on the far right want to repeal the 19th amendment. Many more share a coercive, patriarchal view of women.

I wrote about this and how the far right sees subjugating women as key to building the sort of electorate they need to win. @liberalcurrents.com
