Of all the rescued pets I've had in my life, there are only two cats that I regret having spayed. One is my Penni, who every night moves her porcupine, lobster, or cat from room to room, crooning. 💔

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.

Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.

Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress:

"They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD

If you would like to help an independent filmmaker get the word out about what's happening to the National Park Service and the rangers, take a look
Understated Productions, helmed by a former NPS ranger, is working on a new documentary focused on cuts to the Park Service through interviews wth retired park employees.

I've got a personal connection to this one, but it's worth a look, and maybe even a donation:

👀 wow — Senator Blackburn hasn’t had a town hall in 8 years… and Hagerty has never had one… So the TNDP says Senator Warren is coming to NASHVILLE to do one instead: ak.democrats.org/signup/ew-pe...

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
