“Up to 2 years” what bullshit.
Basically a slap on the wrist.
Breaking: Nearly 18 months after a young female wolf was horrifically abused, a grand jury has indicted Cody Roberts on felony animal cruelty. He faces up to 2 years in prison and $5,000 in fines. While not full justice, it’s a step toward protecting wolves. #StandForWolves bit.ly/4mKpTCl

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long.

Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

It’s been almost 250 years since we organized a political revolution to overthrow a king and constitute a new democracy.

Maybe we’re overdue.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

The moment Yuna takes her first steps on grass for the first time in her life……💛 🥹.

Rescuing Yuna from the war in Ukraine, giving her a second chance at life, and now seeing her feel fresh air and grass for the first time is incredibly special and beautiful.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.

1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.

It’s disgusting and dangerous.

If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.

Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.

To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.

Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act, a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote.

We're calling on the Senate to reject this legislation.

Trump eliminated the CDC’s Child Abuse, Neglect, and Adversity Team, which studied the effects of childhood trauma and promoted policies to keep kids safe.

For a 'Pro-Life' administration, they don't seem to care much for our childrens' well-being.

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

A fire has burned down a cat shelter in suburban New York, killing its founder Christopher Arsenault and more than 100 of the felines he rescued.

As many as 150 cats are believed to have survived the blaze at Happy Cat Sanctuary on Long Island.

RIP Christopher, you died trying to save lives. 🙏

Saturday morning (29 Mar 25) in Maine, the sun rose with an unusual appearance, as if it had "horns of fire." This was because a partial solar eclipse was in progress, covering about 85% of the sun's disk at the time.
