Family pets are being left behind at Southern California shelters as their families face deportation. At Carsom Animal Care Center, dogs like Bruce and Coco are quiet, confused, and up for adoption. Shelter staff say they've seen emotional goodbyes as families forced to leave the U.S.

I hope to see more releases and more families reunited.
Small steps lead to great victories.🔥

To be clear, Pam Bondi took a $25K bribe from the orange felon to cover up his crimes with his fake university back when she was the trashy AG of Florida, so I don’t get why people are shocked that she fired an Ethics Chief at DOJ or that she’s hiding Epstein files, she’s a crook too.

THIS is what courage looks like.Today, striking farmworkers bravely stood in front of cameras, the community, and the press, risking their jobs, safety, and future. To speak the truth. About the stolen wages. About the years of being unheard.
This is a movement. And today was a turning point.

In April, U.S.-made bombs destroyed a detention facility that held Ethiopian migrants in Yemen, crushing bodies and shredding limbs. Few answers have emerged, and the U.S. has not claimed responsibility. Amid official silence, the survivors are left wondering why.
