Donate to Keep Diane's Sanctuary Dream Alive, organized by Beth Hyman Update: An extaordinary amount has been happening behind the scenes here at Squirrelwood… Beth Hyman needs your support for Keep Diane's Sanctuary Dream Alive

I've posted the heartbreaking update to the GoFundMe. The town is not agreeing to the HVSPCA using this property as a shelter. This is devastating. I'm at a loss. I budgeted to March 1st transfer. You've always been there for me and D. gofund.me/966bfb70e

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

Start by wiping your mouth of that orange stain.

Then reinstate all of your DEI.

Make amends to the community for the bullshit you pulled, including massive financial investment.

Then quit and install a CEO who isn’t a crony of previous rotten leadership.

You MIGHT get shoppers back.

I mean…the United States *is* (a big part of) the West Iran was westernized by.

If there wasn’t the already-westernized West, Iran couldn’t have become westernized.

The reigning King Edward VII of England was out riding in the rain and had to pull hard on his horse’s reins when it began to slip and slide in the mud for fear he would fall off.

The first bill out of the Trump administration was the Laken Riley Act. Only one Minnesota Democrat voted to support it.

Since then, the president has used it to separate families and detain thousands of people without due process. Nothing can undo the damage that has been done.

Following a white man to war because you disliked the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the dumbest acts of self-sabotage ever.

Sack's Back: MN's Greatest Political Cartoonist Un-Retired Because He's 'So Fucking Pissed' at Trump, ICE - Racket Before launching his Substack, Sack had to re-learn to draw using his left hand.

I wanted to talk with Steve because it's amazing he came out of retirement to publish independently. I had no idea he'd been forced to RELEARN HIS ARTFORM WITH HIS LEFT HAND. Anyway, great guy and a state treasure.

There have been a LOT of amicus briefs filed on both sides of the birthright citizenship issue for Trump v Barbara slated for oral argument on April 1 and decision probably in June. You can find all the briefs here: www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?...

Making my way through the amicus briefs filed in support of respondents in Trump v. Barbara and more than 10 of them address the risk of statelessness in a fairly significant way. Many others at least mention it in passing. A thread on the most significant arguments re: statelessness 1/

a woman in a red dress is holding a microphone in her hand and dancing on a stage . Alt: Oprah Winfrey, who helped Mehmet Oz find a national audience and helped install him the CMS head, is doing her classic pointing to audience members and shouting β€œyou get this and you get this…” except now they get their Medicaid taken away.

β€œYou don’t get your meds!…And you don’t get your prenatal care!…And you don’t get your surgery!…And you don’t get…!”

Doesn’t this violate his Hippocratic oath?
