Pals!
It’s $5 Friday!
With all the madness, we saved Blue!
His owner brought him & his brother to a rural NC saying he had no use for them because he didn’t hunt anymore.
Blue needs eye surgery, heartworm treatment & a dental 🥹.
He appreciates any help ❤️‍🩹

The post reads: There are no rabbits On the trampoline No squirrels skydiving On the air conditioner The cat is not holding a meeting In a dapper little suit But there’s a fat pit bull at the bus stop And a baby with chubby feet in a stroller And the air smells like fall Real life is happening all around you And it is more beautiful than garbage Vomited up by a machine that eats water and jobs I am begging you to unhook your brain And go eat ice cream on a bench Life is too short To stare at a small screen That turns your dreams into pretty pictures And your brain into mush.

"Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me." - Judy Blume

#CensorshipIsSo1984 #BannedBooks #LibrarySky
Quote from Judy Blume reads "Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me." An illustration shows a young girl reading a book on a green bean bag. The cover of the book says "I love to read." Art is by Debbie Ridpath Ohi, based on a character from The Pain and The Great One.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.
"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

Winter needed an amputation which wasn’t in the budget.
The other ladies all need spay, vaccinations or skin, ear or teeth care.

A foundational principle of this country is that the military shouldn’t police our communities — and a federal judge agrees.
Black graphic with a quote in red and white text: "This country has a longstanding and foundational tradition of resistance to government overreach, especially in the form of military intrusion into civil affairs… This historical tradition boils down to a simple proposition: this is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law.” -Judge Karin Immergut, in her decision blocking President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

The Trump administration's actions, paired with ABC's capitulation, represent a grave threat to our First Amendment freedoms.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr putting pressure on ABC affiliates to suspend Jimmy Kimmel over his comments on Charlie Kirk is beyond McCarthyism.

Trump officials are repeatedly abusing their power to silence ideas they don’t like, deciding who can speak, write, and even joke.
