Yet more horrific human rights abuses being perpetrated by ICE against everyday people, American citizens and migrants. I want to see officials demanding and gaining access to these facilities and then prosecutions for all involved in these inhumane acts. Shut. It. Down. Now.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

This is Her Royal Highness. She is the sweetest lady with the cutest little grinchy face! She was found as a pregnant stray, and when her own kitten didn't make it she very lovingly raised some orphaned kittens as her own. Adoptable in Burlington, VT! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

The first time the Confederate flag ever paraded through the US Capitol was on January 6, 2021.
The first time the White House was damaged in over 200 years since the US rebuilt in the 1820s after the British burned it in the war of 1812 was mid October, 2025.

Shameful.
The East Wing was first added in 1942, under Franklin D. Roosevelt, primarily to provide office space for the First Lady’s staff and to conceal a newly built underground bunker known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) during World War II.

This is Noah. He was hit by a car, which snapped both bones in his front leg. It was swollen, covered in deep cuts and painful. He had a plate and screws installed to realign the bones. He now needs weekly splint changes and bed rest while he heals. You can help him below ❤️🩹

A lot of the photos in my collection aren’t perfectly in focus, but I have to buy them anyway because it was still a kitty that somebody loved! Besides, how could I resist the happy body language and little eyebrows on this one?
