IFPTE Local 29 is calling on Congress, local government officials, stakeholders, and the public to take immediate action to stop the closure of the NASA Goddard Visitor Center - a decision that would inflict irreparable harm on the community, the regional economy, and NASA’s public mission. #NASA

This is Mama. She has been waiting for a home for years. She's a great dog, she just needs to be an only dog. She's going downhill after so long without a family. Can someone be her hero? East coast. I will pay the adoption fee and transport her for an approved adopter.

I thought about how many clinics could be funded, how many food banks could be stocked with $1 billion.

Adopt a senior dog. While you don't get as much time with them, every day is worth it. (Salsa, age 10, adopted last fall after 3 years in a shelter.) ❤️

Andry Hernández Romero, the innocent make-up artist imprisoned without trial for 4 months in El Salvador by the Trump admin, is FREE.
He was wrongfully accused of being a gang member because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, and illegally sent to El Salvador without due process.

Our inability to say - explicitly - that the right wing strategy of vilifying whomever they deem other, stoking status threat and glorifying guns led to the murder of an extraordinary public servant and effective leader simply aids the right's aims.
