โ€œHAYโ€ says Jim! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Our animal sanctuary needs your help funding supplies & forage this winter, as weโ€™re struggling

Weโ€™d be so thankful if you can spare anything to help us closer to our goal: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

A huge thank you for your help! โค๏ธ

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.

Everyone involved with Epsteinโ€™s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.

It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!

Repost if you agree.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

First they blamed the Dems for not funding SNAP

Then they went to court to ask permission NOT to pay

The shutdown is ending & theyโ€™re making everyone reapply and โ€œproveโ€ theyโ€™re legitimately starving.

Itโ€™s almost as though they spent the money and have zero intentions of ever funding it again.

I just donโ€™t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Noem wanted to buy Spirit Airlines planes - except the airline didnโ€™t own them DHS looked at buying the planes from Spirit Airlines, according to a report

Kristi Noem ordered ICE to purchase ten Spirit Airlines jets for deportations. Two problems: Spirit doesnโ€™t own the planes, and they donโ€™t have engines. Has there ever been a more incompetent administration?

This is Her Royal Highness. She is the sweetest lady with the cutest little grinchy face! She was found as a pregnant stray, and when her own kitten didn't make it she very lovingly raised some orphaned kittens as her own. Adoptable in Burlington, VT! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

Sorry I've been M.I.A here and in gamedev circles. I've been dealing with some major life changes like moving back in with my parents. I'm still looking for work in Narrative Design and similar fields but also have transferable skills in QA and Editing/Publishing. I'd appreciate a repost โค๏ธ

GUARD IN MEMPHIS: The TN Supreme Court & a federal court have both ruled it is unconstitutional for TNโ€™s governor to deploy the National Guard for law enforcement.

In 2021, TNโ€™s GOP Attorney General wrote an advisory saying the same. It was so damning, the new AG secretly erased it from record!

The UK fired their ambassador to the US over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Meanwhile, Epsteinโ€™s best friend remains the President of the United States.

#GVerse ๐Ÿค” How come the GOP can always find the money to bailout corporations and give tax cuts to the rich, but there's never enough money to:

Protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.
Provide free lunch for hungry kids.
Provide healthcare for the sick.

This makes Watergate look like a family picnic..

The most blatant, most obvious and most extensive cover-up of sex trafficking and pedophilia in history..

Screenshot of text from linked instagram account that says โ€œYou may recognize this fella from when we posted him as a stray a few weeks ago. A good Samaritan found him on the side of the road in St. Albans and brought him to BEVS, where it was determined that, in attention to his facial wounds, he also had a severely fractured leg and suspected head trauma.
He arrived at HSCC the next day and our med team quickly got him into surgery to amputate his leg. After a few rounds of fluids, antibiotics, and blood work, Hopscotch is now on the road to recovery and getting used to his new tri-pawd status.
He still has some healing to do before he's available for adoption, and he's a pretty spicy boy - we don't know whether that's because he's under-socialized or if he just needs more time to feel safe, but we do know he'll need a calm, cat-savvy home when he's ready to find one.โ€
