My old roommate’s cat needs medical help! Share if u can and send money if u can!
Tequila is my roommates/best friends cat. We took her to the ER vet due to labored breathing. We're told she has fluid in her lungs either due to a heart condition or cancer. We are only able to afford the draining and not to find the underlying cause. Please we need help. PP/CA/VM all @riverxkeeper

It's been 15 years since Citizens United opened the floodgates to political spending.

Just 150 billionaire families poured at least $2 BILLION into the 2024 election.

That's $700 million more than 600+ billionaires spent four years ago.

End Citizens United. Tax billionaires.

Dear Tech Companies,

No. We don't want "A.I." anything.

We don't want A.I. social media "friends."
We don't want A.I.-generated news reporters or anchors.
We don't want A.I. to curate our music or make our movies.

We REALLY don't want A.I. put in charge of our insurance claims or kids' education.

One billionaire couple owns almost all the water in California.

In 1994, the Resnicks secretly seized control of California’s public water supply.

Now their companies use 150 billion gallons every year while working class people suffer under drought conditions.
