Can someone in Southern California please go adopt these two sweethearts at the San Bernardino animal shelter? www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...
Two small dogs, one all black and one that looks like a tan Chihuahua mix, cling to each other in a kennel at the San Bernardino animal shelter.

Interfering with the ability of veterans’ cemeteries to function to own the libs. www.reddit.com/r/fednews/s/...
Screenshot of the linked Reddit post from the subreddit Fed News, which explains how Elon’s minions are going after the National Cemetery Administration, the agency that oversees veterans’ cemeteries. The user says in part: “We’ve found out today that DOGE has shut down all new contracts in solicitation and not yet awarded for the National Cemetery Administration.”

Fuck www.sfgate.com/national-par...
Screenshot of text from SFGate.com reads: “Interior Secretary Doug Burgum signed away significant control of the Interior Department in a secretarial order Thursday night. The order gives a DOGE operative, Tyler Hassen, the power to oversee the Interior Department for ‘consolidation, unification and optimization of administrative functions.’ It directs Hassen, DOGE’s assistant secretary of policy, management and budget, to make funding decisions, fire employees, create policy, oversee programs and transfer funds. Hassen is a former oil executive who worked for Basin Energy, an oil field equipment company, before joining the Trump administration.”

Apparently apt every day now
A four-panel series of rough stick-figure drawings. The first panel shows a person saying “I voted for Trump but I didn’t think he’d do things like ban Muslims or defund Planned Parenthood,” and a second person replying “Yeah but he said he was gonna.” The second panel shows the first person saying “Yeah, I just thought —“ and the second person interrupting to say “He said he was gonna.” The third panel shows the first person shrugging and saying “Like he’s so unpredictable” and the second person raising their arms and saying “He said he was gonna.” The fourth and last panel shows the first person saying “I’m just so surprised” and the second person exasperatedly shouting in all caps “HE SAID HE WAS GONNA”

Someone created an Instagram account as a sort of one-stop shop for lost and found animals from the #EatonFire who’ve been posted about in a variety of places (Insta, Facebook groups, Reddit, Pasadena Humane website, etc.) ➡️ www.instagram.com/eatonfirefou...

Sadly, another longtime L.A. vegan institution (and my favorite restaurants for YEARS), Real Food Daily, has also announced that today is its last day. They say this is related to “bank fraud and theft”? It’s survived ownership change & closures of some locations but looks to now be gone for good 😔

Ghouls
A screenshotted excerpt from a New York Review of Books article reads: “Between 2017 and 2020 at least 5,500 children were taken away and scattered all over the country, some in literal warehouses or repurposed big-box stores, some in “tent cities,” some sent into haphazardly contracted foster care, some simply lost. The true number may never be known because the records were so poorly kept. This was intentional: political appointees like Scott Lloyd, acting head of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), had directed staff to not keep lists of the children and to “get rid of” those lists they did have. Among the various agencies involved, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security, and ORR, there was no cross-coordination and no central database of separations. And ICE opposed, blocked, and delayed reunification even in cases where parents had been processed through the judicial system. Today it is estimated that more than a thousand families have still not been reunited.”

Screenshot of text that reads: “MAGA voters may say they feel no hate in their hearts, and/or that they were just voting against inflation, or what have you. But everyone knows that Trump wants to hurt people. If you voted to hurt people, then friends and family should probably presume that you want to hurt people, and that you will do so if given the chance.”

My very favorite @lizclimo.bsky.social comic ❤️🦃 #vegan
Liz Climo comic has two panels. In the first, a rabbit asks a bear, “Did you bring the turkey?” and the bear replies “Sure did.” In the second panel, a turkey approaches holding two pizza boxes and says “Who wants vegan pizza?”

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy

It’s the Great Backyard Bird Count this weekend (through Monday 2/19), and the L.A. Arboretum was a great place to bird-listen yesterday with @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social’s fascinating Merlin Bird app. Plus, we saw a neat red-shouldered hawk, an egret, and other birds who remained silent! #GBBC2024
