The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

My goodness. Please don’t send in ghosts. They are very frightening. We only rate dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (IG: theodore.goldenvelt)
ahh! a small fluffy ghost sits on a hardwood floor staring directly at us. but actually... the longer we take it in, the more cute the ghost becomes. one could even mistake this little guy for a golden retriever puppy wearing a sheet with eye, ear, and mouth holes cut out of it. even though he gave us a fright, we would still pet this ghost puppy.

This is Zebby. He finally managed to catch his tail. Super proud of the accomplishment and would like to pretend no one saw the part right after. 12/10 (IG: zebbythegolden)

Some day we’ll have a real President again. Not a madman holding the country hostage. And yes, I am an optimist.

This is Bug. He would like to be picked up for cuddles. It is an emergency. 13/10 (IG: bugthebrusselsgriffon)
a teensy brown ball of fluff sits on a gray tile floor and looks up at the camera. the dog’s eyes are wide-set and pleading, and his little mouth curves down in a dramatic frown. his little body only takes up one half of one tile, and it looks like he could be swallowed up by shadows any second. pick him up!

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns

los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

This is Aslan. He is the mystic guardian of this enchanted forest. Will not let you pass unless you answer his tricky riddles or give him 3 pats on the noggin. Your choice. 13/10
a big fluffy samoyed sits back on his hind two feet in front of a forested path. the dog has his front paws held up and in like short t-rex arms, and his mouth is hanging open, revealing his soft pink tongue. amid the fluff atop his head, it’s hard to say for sure, but it seems one ear is pointing up while the other points out to his right.

This is Deku. He's approximately three stories tall. Shedding season is a public health concern. 14/10
a blond golden retriever smiles while standing next to a quaint stone building. the dog’s head is approximately the height of the chimney extending above the roof. a smaller building in the background with yellow windows and black doors only comes up to his shoulder. the blue sky above has a few wisps of clouds overhead.

This is Nugget. She only met these new friends today, but they have already made her their leader. 13/10
a light gold cockapoo pup walks toward the camera in a field of grass. behind her is a herd of similarly colored alpacas. it appears as if they are both curious and in awe as they follow the curly pup.
