FWIW: Alex Acosta, Bush-era U.S. attorney who negotiated Epstein's sweetheart deal and later became Trump's labor secretary, joined the Newsmax Board of Directors in June.

I see a lot of historians showing the clear evidence that a *huge* part of the KKK-wannabe-Nazi regime we're experiencing is a direct result of the country failing to punish confederate racists and traitors after the civil war.

When we let bigots "Paradox of Tolerance" us, this is what happens.

92-year-old Scottish widow Molly Forbes refused to sell her land to Trump for his golf course. In revenge, he blasted floodlights, ran loud machines nonstop, and cut her water and power. She never gave in β€” right up until her death at age 96.

IGs and Whippets don't have the same temperament as Greys. Also, there are plenty of Greys in other countries, not to mention galgos and lurchers.

By saying "it's a pity" they can't run free is A. Projection and nothing to do with the dog and B. Forgetting dogs can be transported for play time.

The attitude you're perpetuating is why so many animal rescue groups have bad reputations. As I stated, I've had 8 Grey's of my own, and fostered 40+. If tou think having a fence is a better qualification than that - Well, see above.

My beautiful high xp greyhound is showing interest in befriending other hounds after losing her housemate. Due to the drop in available greyhounds in the US, a lot of rescue groups won't accept new adopters or require a fence. <- i have 30 yrs gh exp, never had a fence.

Appreciate suggestions

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

Here’s what RFK Jr. has done since a measles outbreak began which has killed 3 people so far:

1. Buried a CDC report showing need for vaccination

2. Recommended vitamin A, resulting in liver damage in kids

3. Defunded vaccination clinics nationally

4. Hired a fraud to manipulate vaccine data

Opinion | What Autocrats Want From Academics: Servility In 1931, Italian scholars were made to take loyalty oaths. Will that happen to us?

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

Democrats raise millions for Florida special elections in Trump territory Democrats Gay Valimont and Josh Weill raised a combined $15.7 million ahead of their April 1 special elections, but they still face uphill climbs in the ruby-red districts.

Why are the major news outlets not covering this??? Democrats could turn the House with these two elections.

INCREDIBLE. @aoc.bsky.social calling out @senatedemocrats.bsky.social & basically @schumer.senate.gov for playing games around a "fake failed 30 day CR" which is basically a path to surrender in passing the Republican funding bill w/ blank checks 4 Musk/Trump.
