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.

It’s a boy! On Wednesday, our Voi team awoke to the best surprise: Naipoki had given birth to her first baby. As is tradition among our ex-orphans, she immediately journeyed home to celebrate with the people who raised her.

🚨 Wolves still need your voice! Congress is considering bills that could strip protections from gray wolves in 44 states. Losing these safeguards would leave wolves vulnerable to hunting and persecution.

Tell your Senators & Representative: oppose anti-wildlife riders. Take action: 👉 bit.ly/3VIlH9Z

That Pony moved to an amazing foster mom’s farm today. He deserves far more love than I can give right now. My heart is heavy 😭 he has a palace fit for a king and isn’t far from here.

“Make it a habit to tell people, ‘thank you.’ To express your appreciation sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.”

Excuse me! It’s Percy here. Guess what? Baby Dog’s head smells of CHEESE 🧀
Why??? It’s making me hungry. Malcy said something happened yesterday with a Doritos Packet…? I don’t know what happened but I’ll be hanging around with Baby Dog most of today because he also tastes good 😸

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

a fluffy white chihuahua and spaniel mix with brown speckles on her forehead rests on a gray couch. she's facing the camera with squinted eyes and her tongue hanging out of the left side of her mouth because she has no teeth to hold it in.

This is Dapple. She was found as a stray with teeth falling out due to severe dental disease, plus a painful knee injury. Thanks to your support of our merch, @15outof10.org was able to cover the surgeries to remove her teeth and repair her leg. She's now toothless and thriving in her forever home ❤️‍🩹

This is Archie. He's deaf and doesn't hear when his humans get home. Luckily, his little brother Frankie lets him know with a gentle nudge to make sure he doesn't miss the moment. 14/10 for both (TT: melissamilne)

Gratitude is the ability to experience life as a gift.
It liberates us from the prison of self-preoccupation.

New Mexico Fish and Game Stops Wandering Wolf “Taylor” in His Tracks, Sends Him South for the Second Time Conservation groups are condemning the decision by the New Mexico Department of Fish and Game (NMDFG) to remove a wandering male Mexican gray wolf from the northern part of the state late last week.

Mexican gray wolf Taylor was captured north of I40 and relocated back into arbitrary bounds. This is the second time wildlife agencies have restricted Taylors movements.

Dispersal is necessary for Mexican gray wolves to thrive. It's time we let them roam. 🔗https://bit.ly/3JZKzYH

two corgis are in formation on a wooden deck. the older one stands in the background and looks directly at the camera, while his little sister sits in the foreground and looks out of frame with a skeptical glance, one eye squinting closed and the other furrowed slightly in concern.

the corgi duo is still on their deck. this time, the little corgi pup in the front is looking more at the photographer, but her big brother in the background is now looking over his shoulder at whatever it was that had previously caught her eye. he has a matching expression, with his right eye squinting and his left eye examining the offending target judgmentally.

Good morning, my friends! Hubs “needed to run an errand” #Sunday & asked me to join him on the long drive. What he really wanted was to show me his new fave spot on his #motorcycle rides. There’s only 1 bench overlooking the water here at #WachusettResevoir.

Chums! Baby Dog here. Thank you for your concern about my Allergies. They are annoying and I always get them more at this time of year. But I’m fine.
Ron is helping Malcy to look after me. I thought he looked a bit warm in his Sun Puddle so I helped him out with a bit of a fan. You’re welcome, Ron 🧡
