We’ve been a little overwhelmed of late with a foster dog. A neighbor found a Doberman? pup in the street and we’ve been caring for him while we try and get him home. It’s like having a tornado in our house! He’s very, umm, enthusiastic. I’m a Shiba person so any advice on big breed pups is welcome!

Y’all watching Shiny Happy People? It kinda feels like those radicalized Christian warrior chickens are coming home to roost.There’s a point at which you’ve pumped a kid so full of rage, rhetoric will no longer be enough.

Sometimes I think our entire species is likely doomed. But then sometimes I think people are so clever and ingenious that maybe we’ll be okay after all.

If nothing else, I’d like to think the rhinos will thrive either way.

Scientists turn rhino horns 'radioactive' to help tackle poaching
The process is safe and harmless to the animals, but will allow authorities to detect smuggled horns as they're transported around the world.

My husband suffered a “widow maker” heart attack years ago. Data from his monitor in the ambulance was transmitted to the hospital and the cardiac team were prepped & ready for him after a short ride. He’s still with me today because of it.
Technology saves lives. Distance matters.
People will die.

It’s not as if either store has items you can’t get somewhere else. (Hey Menard’s please don’t do anything racist or immoral any time soon! I’ve got a patio to build.)
Walmart and Home Depot have decided to cooperate with ICE. 🤬

Both companies are allowing ICE agents to come onto their premises to arrest innocent shoppers.

If you weren’t boycotting them before, you can add them to your list!!

I’ve said it before, but things point to an abandonment of the eastern seaboard. When communities are wiped out, will investors swoop in to buy up huge swaths of decimated properties? Church groups and volunteers can help rebuild homes, but they can’t fix power lines, water lines, sewers, etc.

So FEMA ceases to exist after 2025 hurricane season. Prediction: coastal cities wiped out. Zero govt help cleaning up or rebuilding. Communities become ghost towns. With his $2bn in Saudi cash, Kushner buys land from desperate locals for pennies. Branded resorts built along the eastern seaboard.

I’ve seen this signal disseminated on socials lately. And it appears to be working! Thankful for the brave souls who helped a stranger in her time of need!
This is harrowing.

Thank goodness for these observant bystanders!

Do you know the universal sign for help? I didn’t.

As more young men fall victim to the Tates & misogynists of the world, we all need to be more aware!

See below for the signal. ⬇️

A great day for the Tottenham Spurs! I’m not that personally invested in European football results, but our pub is the game watch spot for the Spurs fans so it was a great day for business. And it was exciting to see our loyal patrons so pumped up!

This is lovely. We should all be so lucky to have a parent like that. I just found out someone I considered a friend kicked her teenage daughter out of the house when she came out. That girl knows she is always welcome in my home! But that’s cold comfort compared to the acceptance of a parent. 💔
Let's show the world what we're all about Mr Carney.

In PM‘s Mark Carney victory speech, he thanked his children:
"Without your support, I wouldn't be standing here," he said. "Without your examples, I wouldn't have a purpose. Without your love, I wouldn't have the strength that I need for what lies ahead." 🇨🇦🫶🏽🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

While I completely understand and respect their resignations, it terrifying that we are left with fewer and fewer people in crucial positions who truly care about our safety and the wellbeing of our country - and have the skill set to do something about it.

What was the endgame? Taking innocent children into custody? I can’t believe every agent was okay with this plan. Many must be parents and they can’t all be descendants of people who came over on the Mayflower. 🙄 Hoping for some sworn LE officers to start refusing to lie and follow illegal orders. 🙏🏼
Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it.

Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids.

Don’t let this go!!!

This was welcome news to me as, of course, my teens waited until today to get their returns together. 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄

Louisville is making a plan to come out again on April 5th! Organize people in your area. If the Ville is any indicator, there will be more interest than you probably expect!!

I am so proud of Louisville, KY! More than 3,400 people interacted with the fb event and hundreds showed up in the rain yesterday for the We the People March to protect the constitutional rights of every American. We’re just getting started! Because THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE! ❤️🤍💙

I’ve been thinking that since he is basically a Bond villain, Elmo’s plan may be to amass all kinds of intel that would allow him to blackmail the US into submission. Good news is, at this rate there won’t be any state secrets left. 🤦🏼‍♀️
In a shocking twist that we all saw coming, a report in The Atlantic says that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth shared classified info about US strikes on Yemen in a Signal chat that included a reporter.

His incompetence is going to get soldiers killed.
