People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

I call on the Hungarian authorities to allow the Budapest Pride to go ahead.

Without fear of any criminal or administrative sanctions against the organisers or participants.

To the LGBTIQ+ community in Hungary and beyond:

I will always be your ally.

Never been more certain that if Murkowski, Ernst, Collins, or Tillis (the last 3 up in 2026) vote for this cruel, unpopular bill they won't be reelected

The moment Uni looked at me… so cool!!

He needs some leash training and socialization, like any young pup, but he did well with his kennel mate introduction - he deserves a fair chance. Please repost/share and pledge if you're able, email keitholbermanndogs@gmail.com. Thank you.

Just 1 year old, Speckles #252026 is pending euthanasia in Apple Valley CA, and his original post only has 6 shares and 2 comments - not nearly enough to save him. He's just a baby at 1 year old and with those kinds of numbers, he has little chance of getting out alive.

A locked gun can mean the difference between life and death. Let loved ones know to lock it up. Every gun, every time.

Henry watches Thor as he sits in the sink in the bathroom he is not allowed in.

Last night Mom couldn’t sleep.
She was worried about something called
Immunity.
She said that’s when you can get away
with doing something wrong.
“Like the cats!” I said.
“The cats get hollered at,” she said.
“But they don’t care,” I said.
Mom thought about it.
“Like the cats,” she said.

My friends who foster for Faithful Friends rescue in Gainesville, FL have an enchanting kitten right now. Malachi is channeling Edward Scissorhands as a kitten. I am in love, but then I fall in love with kittens easily. Hope he finds a wonderful forever home when he's old enough.

Did I wake up in 2003 wtf

Godzilla is wearing a blue jumper with red buttons, and a matching straw hat with flowers.

I said I'd try to come up with something that wasn't political doom today, so here goes, war or no.

We have a neighborhood Godzilla that wears charming outfits, so when they change, I occasionally take paparazzi photos. Currently, he is wearing a fetching frock and straw hat.

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

Congress? You awake?

No One Sure Why Kristi Noem Wearing Firefighter Helmet, Night-Vision Goggles, High Heels, Wet Suit WASHINGTON—Racking their brains as they tried to determine the express purpose of the homeland security secretary’s outfit, sources confirmed Monday they were not sure why Kristi Noem was wearing a firefighter helmet, night-vision goggles, high heels, and a wet suit. “Huh, that’s odd, but there must be some kind of reason for it, right?” said […]

The Simple Truth About These Miserable Heat Waves Much of the country is facing brutal, potentially deadly heat. The reasons for such extreme events are not complicated.

“The world’s climate is behaving exactly as we said it would all along, for many years. It is warming due to human influence. It gets faster if we don’t act on it.”

No matter where someone was born, the United States should never tolerate inhumane treatment. Yet right now, detainees in ICE custody are facing conditions that are simply unacceptable in any country that claims to uphold human rights, let alone one that prides itself on freedom and the rule of law.

Same here
