Stopped at Cahokia World Heritage Site in Collinsville IL. This is Monks Mound. A reminder that this continent was populated by millions of Natives for 20,000+ yrs pre-contact. This wasn't an empty wilderness that was tamed by the Pilgrims,etc. #nativeplace
Republicans looked the country in the eye and made a promise. When they rewrote the food stamp program last year, they said children would not be touched.
Pregnant women would not be touched.
Families with young kids would not be touched. They said it on the House floor, on the record, in front of everyone.
A year later we know the truth.
More than 776,000 children have been cut off from food assistance. In the states that track participation by age, kids make up nearly half of everyone who lost benefits.
These are kids who went to bed hungry because a politician wanted a talking point.
We must be a country that feeds its children. We used to believe that was the bare minimum. Take care of the kid who is hungry through no fault of their own.
The people who broke that promise should have to answer for it, and in November they will.

🐴💔 ANOTHER SHIPMENT: This week, more terrified horses were loaded into wooden crates & exported from Canada to Japan for slaughter.
During these gruelling journeys, horses are denied food, water, & rest until they reach their destination. Injuries & deaths are common.
Tell the government to keep its promise & BAN this cruelty now ➡️ https://t.co/VL5LN5hNBE

Midsummer was believed to be the one night a year when the veil between our world and the spirit world dissolved completely.
Animals were thought to speak, and mystical purple butterflies or moths (seen floating here) were considered to be disguised nature spirits or fairies blessing the woods.
Our country has always been this way.
It is just harder to conceal the corruption and cruelty of the system in the age of social media when everyone has a smartphone.
It was easier to manipulate the public and maintain the illusion when the people just watched corporate media.
Let's get some pledges for Everglades he's beautiful and look at that right hand picture with his little paw up🥺All kitties deserve love. Do you have some for him?
🐾💔🇵🇸In Gaza, it is not only people who suffer from these harsh conditions, but also innocent dogs who have lost their shelter, safety, and access to food. Every day, we continue to provide food, clean water, and care because they have no voice to ask for help.
Saving the life of a hungry or thirsty animal may seem like a small act, but to them, it means everything. ❤️🐕
We need your support to continue this humanitarian mission. Every donation, no matter how small, helps provide food, clean water, and essential care for these innocent souls.

"Farm animals are far more aware and intelligent than we ever imagined... They are individual beings in their own right. As such, they deserve our respect and our help. Who will plead for them if we are silent?"

Giraffes, the tallest animal on Earth, help ecosystems thrive by feeding on upper plants, letting sunlight reach lower vegetation across Africa’s savannahs.

Jupiter, a pregnant mare, was put up for auction and was on her way to being sold to a slaughterhouse. Noelle happened to see her and immediately decided to rescue her. At that time, Jupiter was terrified, underweight, and completely unhandled 💔
After being brought to a safe farm, Jupiter gradually became accustomed to people and received the care and attention she needed. In time, she gave birth to a healthy and incredibly adorable foal.
Thankfully, both Jupiter and her baby escaped a tragic fate. Noelle was truly amazing for acting so quickly and giving this mother and her foal a second chance at life 🐴💖

Happy Father’s Day to our ADI supporter dads!
Today we also celebrate our Sanctuary dads: Rey Cusco (pictured) is the father of Mahla & Scarc (of the Cusco pride), donkey Christopher is dad to Nugget & Eeyore, & horse Apollo is the dad of Crockett.
Panfur Horton's propspective adoption fell through & he's oh-so-ready for another lucky person to give him a forever home. He's quirky (thump him just above his tail & he's in heaven:), loves people, & will be happy to sit on your lap!
