MELIA has guarding issues. Both with food & toys. She was abandoned by her "family" in their apartment. No food/water. Starving! She was rescued and put into foster. The foster being inexperienced with guarding she bit them. Melia will learn in her forever home she will never starve again. 👇

Jan 6th rioter: “You can't gaslight me. I was there — I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down & hit his head & his back — So don't be telling me it wasn't violent. Don't come to me with that ever again”

Brazil succeeded in holding coup plotters accountable. "If — when the glass has been swept away & the trials are over — those who empowered, guided, mobilized, and legitimized [the riots] are never held to account, then... the conditions for repetition remain intact.” jacobin.com/2026/01/janu...

In 2021, the January 6 Capitol attack exposed deep connections between the US state and far-right groups. When something similar happened in Brazil in 2023, it prompted a national attempt to reform th...

5 years ago, there was a bloody, lawless, and deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol. A group of criminal thugs broke out in riots and stormed our Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election at the direction of the President of the United States.

Who exactly are America’s allies right now?
And don’t say Russia, because this is what Russia wants.
You think Trump aligning with Putin is for America?
Then you are the most gullible stupid fool.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Trump and his deplorable administration can change the White House web site but they can’t change history. Especially events, so well documented and witnessed on January 6th. 2021. All they are doing is demonstrating how deplorable they are.

The same man who dodged the draft.The same man who called our fallen soldiers “suckers” and “losers.”The same man who treated Arlington like a photo op.Just said “we’re not afraid to have boots on the ground.”Of course he’s not afraid.It’s never his boots.Never his kids.Never his sacrifice.Trump talks about war the way he talks about everything else — casually, recklessly, with zero personal stake and zero respect for the people who pay the price. Real patriots don’t beat their chests about sending Americans into harm’s way. They exhaust every option to keep them out of it.We’ve seen this movie before.Manufactured threats.Big tough talk.Young Americans sent to die while he plays commander on TV.This isn’t strength.It’s ego.It’s cowardice wrapped in a flag.Here we go again.Fuck you, MAGA.

Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made
