Meet Helios, our new 4-5 month old kitten from Greece. Day two of his adjustment to life in the U.S. after being a street kitten dying of pneumonia in Agios Marina, Leros Greece.
White kitten with orange spots with large ears sitting on top of refrigerator with big large eyes, mostly pupil, as he adjusts to life in a new home. White kitten with orange spots with large ears emerging from his safe sleeping spot at the bottom of a cat tree on top of a blue boiled wool cat bed. An orange and white kitten stretched out on the floor intently watching a large orange cat who is inspecting him.

Kassi is unimpressed with the state of the economy. She told her hooman in no uncertain terms that the quality of her kibble could not falter. #cats

So Trump included tariffs on The Heard and MacDonald Islands, sub-Antarctic islands. The only inhabitants are penguins. The level of incompetence of this Regime is frightening.

Lady Earl Grey is a little afraid of crowds, but her hooman mom is going to the Hands Off protest in Nashville on April 5th. Hands off my data! Hands off the national parks! Hands off Social Security!

Lots of locations around the U.S. if you can’t make the DC protest.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

So 🤬🤬🤬 offensive that they would add DEI to the URL of a Medal of Honor recipient. The page appears to have been changed now, but thank god people are calling the Republican Regime out on these appalling changes, which is leading to them backing down.

Keep fighting the good fight!

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

Seniors came to JD Vance's event to demand the Trump Administration stop cutting Social Security.

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America:
1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI
2) kill universities
3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub
4) empty the cities
5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.

No one knows why he was detained.
Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

UPDATE: From the original poster of the letter on FB:
I just now got off the phone with Allan Schappert, the author of this letter. He’s not on social media. When I shared how his letter has travelled, he said, “I’m gobsmacked.” He wrote to share his story, and perhaps to let other veterans know they’re not alone, and he’s amazed that he touched a nerve. “The pen is mightier than the sword!” exclaimed this pilot who once wielded the nuclear sword at the controls of an American B52. Whew. He thanks you, Peter, for sharing his words. Allan and I have plans to grab a beer together this weekend.
