In 2016, Ken Paxton had the audacity to sit at my table and break bread with my family knowing full well that my son is trans, then SIX YEARS LATER wrote an opinion stating that families like mine shouldn't exist. Within days, a CPS investigator was in our home threatening to remove our children.🧵

BREAKING:

The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering".

It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.

You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

It’s pretty annoying when they try to rip apart your bear-proof garbage can and then dine on what is in the cheap regular can. But who can stay mad at this adorable mom and cubs. We think they were born last year. This makes the crazy world seem insignificant (at least somewhat).

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.

Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

It will likely go unnoticed by the majority of citizens but I think the American system of laws and due process is over. The final nails in the coffin were hammered in today. It was a long process that quickly accelerated since January. Good luck Americans.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.

She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.

RIP Elisa.

Trump showed up in my Facebook feed this morning. I do not follow or even look at anything political there.

I blocked him and reported his photo as a violation of community standards promoting organized crime.

Fuck you Mark Zuckerberg.

Everyone can make a difference.

This is Christopher before and after. He was dumped at a shelter. No name. Filthy, matted fur. Neglected. Unloved. We changed that.

Hours later his face shines, as do those of his rescuers.

This keeps me going, even in this dark time. One life at a time.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Most everything I read yesterday is awful. You know who doesn't care? Dogs! Happy rescue dogs. There is a lesson there.

Wallace, our rescued pig, wishes everyone a good day. He was found wandering city streets a couple of years ago.

The world might be awful but a smiling animal is good for the soul.

I'm new, not a poster and follow serious topics. The years haven't been easy and it's not getting better.

I have always coped thanks to nature and animals.

This is Friend (not food). We rescued her two years ago from becoming Thanksgiving dinner. She is a happy and very lucky turkey.
