This is one of the best accounts on X, period.
I don't look up to many accounts on here, but I do with Niall.
He does exactly what I do, but on a much larger and better scale. This dude is awesome.
If you asked me "What account inspires you", the answer is simple.
Niall Harbison. Hands down.
Thank you for what you do, from one animal lover to another.
Sweetie the husky finally got pulled from that nightmare in Merced, California.
A homeless man dragged her behind his bike on hot pavement. Witnesses saw him grab her by the neck and slam her to the ground. Tight muzzle. Ribs showing. She yelped when he yanked her collar. Police checked her once, got a soft vet report, and gave her back. The community refused to let it go.
Now she’s in protective custody and the case is sitting with the Merced County DA for animal cruelty charges.
Anyone who treats a dog like that belongs in a cage. Glad the pressure worked.

It doesn’t matter if the man killed by ICE in Maine was authorized to work in the United States or not. It doesn’t matter if he had a social security or not. ICE should not be killing anyone. Period.
Compassionate human beings should not tolerate this.
People who claim to be pro-life should be brought to tears.
Those espousing family values should be fully incensed.
Anyone with children of their own whom they love should be sick to their stomachs.
Men and women of every faith should be unequivocally condemning this.
People of conscience and morality should be unable to sleep.
Good people ought to be fully heartbroken.
What I.C.E is doing to brown-skinned people is a crime.
It’s a sin.
It’s intentionally cruel.
It is blatantly inhumane.
It’s not pro-life.
It’s not Christian.
It’s not making America great.
It is evil by any measure decent people use.
And the good people here should not tolerate it a single second longer.

I’m tired of people acting like someone’s life matters less because they weren’t an American on paper. He spent 35 years here, raised three American children, and built his life in Houston. He was an American in every way that mattered.
ICE killed a father of three yesterday and no one is talking about it.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent 35 years in Houston building homes and raising a family.
According to people interviewed, every night after work you'd find him on his porch, listening to music, petting his dog. He helped his three kids (U.S. Citizens) get through college.
It certainly seems that he was doing everything right, and then a federal agent shot him dead during a stop and his own son found out from a Facebook video, recognizing his father's voice as he lay bleeding in the street.
His son says that if his father had recognized any sign of law enforcement, he would have complied without question.
DHS says he "tried to run him over." This is the exact same lie they used to justify murdering Renee Good, a mother of three.
We are being asked to trust a rogue, lawless agency's word over a dead man's family, again, with no body cam release and no independent investigation.
Everyone should be outraged.
Every bank launching a stablecoin is essentially creating another currency that needs to talk to every other currency
That's not competition for XRP....that's the problem XRP was built to solve
More stablecoins means more fragmentation & more fragmentation means more demand for something sitting in the middle connecting them
That something is XRP
The banks are basically doing Ripple's marketing for them
@jamestalarico When the president weaponizes the FCC to force networks to yank political interviews off the air—simply because they feature an opponent who threatens his power—that's not "oversight." That's authoritarian censorship, plain and simple. Dangerous and utterly un-American.
@jamestalarico I don’t care what side of the aisle you fall into. If you have a sitting president controlling your media; he’s in fact not a world leader, he’s a dictator.
This week, I learned that I was uninvited to this year’s National Governors Association dinner — a decades-long annual tradition meant to bring governors from both parties together to build bonds and celebrate a shared service to our citizens with the President of the United States. My peers, both Democrats and Republicans, selected me to serve as the Vice Chair of the NGA, another reason why it’s hard not to see this decision as another example of blatant disrespect and a snub to the spirit of bipartisan federal-state partnership.
As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not.
What makes it especially confounding is that just weeks ago I was at the White House with a bipartisan group of governors, working with the administration on reforms to lower energy costs and strengthen grid reliability. We proved in that moment what’s possible when we stay focused on outcomes over politics.
As Governor of Maryland and Vice Chair of the NGA, my approach will never change: I’m ready to work with the administration anywhere we can deliver results. Yet, I promised the people of my state I will work with anybody but will bow down to nobody. And I guess the President doesn’t like that.
Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.
It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.
I'm still trying to figure out if Trump is using domestic civil war to cover up for his imminent bombing of Iran...
Or if he's using the bombing of Iran to distract from the imminent banking collapse...
Or if he's using the banking collapse to cover up for the debt reset...
And then using the debt reset to as a cover for domestic civil war.
Whatever happens, there won't be an ounce of truth coming out of this administration from here forward. If they can excuse the daylight execution of an American citizen, there's no limit to what they'll do next.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
