A further word: To some of us, America is a natural protector, not a predator. We are also a giver, not a thief or plunderer. (Our generosity has benefited, not least, ourselves.) Predation and plunder? They are un-American. I hope we wake up to that fact.

[Bella, Mags , Brie and 🌈Bentley 🐞🐞 @ddoggiesmommy]

If you are new to @RescueCoop and @LolaPatolla—let me tell a firsthand account of my experience. We adopted Brie in October 2024 (first photo) She (with her brother) were found on equipment chains and through some “negotiation” Lola saved them both from a life of misery , and Brie would’ve either ended up a bait dog or breeder.
She came 1500 miles to us-scared, very wild, and it was obvious she had never been inside Now she is the baby princess and could not imagine our house without her.
Every penny raised in the Coop auction goes to saving more Bries. All the items are donated. It is a huge undertaking by Lola and helps so many dogs who otherwise wouldn’t be on this earth anymore
We promise it will be the best money you spend. Go register and check it out. Do some holiday shopping. All different price points

When Trump threatens Greenland, I think, “America is not meant to be a predator nation.” When he says, “To the victor belong the spoils,” I think, “We are not meant to be a thieving, plundering nation.” I hope that America recovers a right sense of itself.

The stories are made up fiction. But also they're leaks and were gonna jail the people who leaked it.

I will die on this hill:
Presidents and Vice Presidents shitposting online degrades the dignity & decorum of their office. We want to see them above the fray, running the govt. solving problems, and meeting with political leaders - not lazily shitposting like your cousin Jed.

California serves nearly ONE BILLION free school meals to kids each year.

I was proud to sign universal school meals into law, making us the first state to guarantee free breakfast and lunch to every public school student.

No child should have to learn on an empty stomach.

I'm not a Dem socialist and never will be, but I sure as hell will do everything possible to support Abdul El-Sayed - and you should too.

Because the path to a senate majority MUST include Michigan.

Without Michigan, we all lose.
Let's go. 🌊

This three-year-old dog in Sumy lost her family and is looking for a forever home. Maybe a repost will help her find one.

Two days ago a major US bank said in a court filing that Donald Trump's accounts appeared to be involved in money laundering.

Money laundering. MONEY. LAUNDERING.

Neither yesterday nor today was he asked about that by the WH press pool.

The only people Trump has empathy for are men accused of domestic/sexual assault & Ghislaine Maxwell. Part CXVII

@davidaxelrod Yes, he is a shallow malignant narcissist, and his fellow dum dums went and made him king of the world.

@MichaelSteele Who is ok with this?

[Michael Steele @MichaelSteele]

The corruption is stunning. This deal "shields all the Trumps and their businesses not only from enforcement of any taxes they may have dodged, or enforcement of any fines or payments they may owe to the government, but from ‘any and all’ consequences for violating any federal criminal or civil law." And @JohnCornyn and @SenThomTillis are ok with this.
