FYI Petfinder has recently changed policies for searches on out of town pets, which is drastically shifting the abilities of small rescues in Texas to move dogs out of Texas to adopters in other parts of the country. If you've adopted from a small rescue, please amplify their rescue work.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

This is insane! How many Americans realize the level of surveillance ICE is conducting on us all?
WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

ICE detained an asylum seeker with no deportation order who had just had a C-section, has Type 1 diabetes, and whose newborn was in the NICU, without giving her any medical care, a breast pump, anything. What is the point of this
“Guzmán’s daughter was still in the NICU, unable to eat or breathe independently. The doctors had planned a meeting to review the baby’s prognosis and care plans… As Guzmán went to buckle her seatbelt, she looked out the window and noticed they were surrounded.”
Her baby was in the NICU. She was in ICE detention.
Before Trump took office, postpartum immigrants were rarely detained by ICE. Nayra Guzmán was detained while her 15-day-old baby was in the NICU.
