If what happened to Pete Buttigieg and his family happened to JD Vance and his family, the person who called in fake accusations to child protective services would already be in jail. Why isn’t the person in custody. Kash Patel’s FBI should be able to handle this. According to Kash Patel they can figure out any crime, no problem. So WTF? The media better not let this go. It is fucking outrageous.

Swatting Pete Buttigieg during Pride Month, causing him and his husband to be separated overnight from their 4 year old twins is typical MAGA hate and bigotry.

Fuck that shit.

Remember in November.

[jezz @JezziiB]

The World Cup fans falling in love with America aren’t in the places MAGA controls ... they’re in New York, LA, Seattle. Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston, the cities Republicans have spent a decade calling dangerous, godless hellholes that apparently the entire world wants to visit.

I just followed a woman on Instagram because she had 500+ men come on her FYP and tell her that she deserves to be raped.
So she found all their information and called all their jobs and clients and told them what the men did.

Honestly, I'm so impressed.

Pete Hegseth went to Normandy France and made some Nazi ass anti-immigration speech and then proceeded to get kicked out of the country - being told never to come back.
Your grandfathers are rolling in their graves rn. This isn't what they fought and died for at all. He desecrated the memory of every soldier who fought, and who fell in Normandy. Fuck Pete Hegseth.

Capital Weather Gang, the weather blog that has been a part of the Washington Post for almost 20 years, is becoming an independent site and rebranding as Capital Weather.

Per a note to WaPo staff today, the site will still contribute to WaPo during major weather events.

My current dogs have only known me as an amputee and wheelchair user. Maybe they think rolling is for an elite few and that most other dogs just have average walking humans. They love me as I am.

But Kuno knew me before the amputation. We walked together, he licked my toes, and he loved to sit in front of the couch and put his paws on my lap. I had mobility and balance issues and he was learning to assist me on stairs, going from sitting to standing, and to help when I got struck by a dizzy spell. He knew me on my good days, which actually weren't very good, but they weren't really horrible. And he knew me when I would get really, really sick with recurring infections.

During his training he spent many hours hanging out at the IV clinic with me as I got doses of antibiotics. He could tell when my pain levels were getting unbearable and would rest his giant head on me. He knew when I was really sick.

I had been mentoring under a dog trainer and teaching Kuno the skills to be qualified as a service dog in our province when things started to go haywire. First an IV port became infected and I ended up with a bone infection. Kuno stayed at the trainers facility for several weeks while I was in hospital. When I was finally discharged and he could come home, he was ecstatic. Something about him had changed though. He watched me a little more closely, would check in with me more often when I took him to the big off leash park, and he was just a bit more vigilant around me. It was a subtle change but I saw it.

Then a month later I developed a soft tissue infection in my leg. It spread rapidly and I quickly became extremely ill. It was too painful to stand on, I spiked a high fever and couldn't keep food down. A friend came over to help me get a few things done and help me get to our local ER. I had many soft tissue infections before so I figured it would be the usual outpatient antibiotics. She took one look at me and called an ambulance.

I ended up at a large hospital in the city as our local one didn't deal with critical cases. The infection had spread and they amputated both legs. I was really sick for awhile. It took a month before I was stable enough to transfer back to our local hospital and start physical rehabilitation. This time a family member stayed at the house I was renting with the animals. Only fully qualified service dogs were allowed in the city hospital but once I was back at our local one, Kuno could come visit.

I waited impatiently in the hospital courtyard for him. As soon as he saw me, he rushed towards me. Then about 4 feet away he stopped and looked at me. I suppose he was figuring out that something was different. He took a minute and then came up and tried to put his big head in my lap. The wheelchair rolled backwards but he walked with it keeping his head on me until I got the brake on. He thoroughly sniffed what was left of my legs and I asked him to put his paws up on me.

He refused at first. With some encouragement he very carefully put one paw on my lap, and then finally the other one. He was so careful and tried to keep his weight off of me and leaned in for nose kisses. He knew he needed to be extra gentle.

After that day he was always super careful putting his paws on me. He understood things had changed. We learned how to navigate the world with wheelchairs together. At times I felt incredible amounts of guilt because there were so many places I couldn't take him to now. I couldn't get to the edge of a pond to take him wading or go wandering through a forest with him. I worried that he was missing out on things so I became determined to learn how to do as much as I could with dogs and find ways to meet his exercise needs, and more importantly, ensure he had the mental stimulation, challenges, and enrichment opportunities he deserved. And together, we did some pretty amazing things.

❤️ Because of him, I now have the skills to do so much more with dogs.

I knew Martina McBride would drop out of that nonsense once she found out what it really was.

Ms. McBride doesn't mess around. Real country fans know.

I have spent my entire life looking for good trouble, from being a youth leader in the civil rights movement after my school was closed during massive resistance all the way until today. I’ve learned to never back down and I will always lead ten toes down fighting for you.

Not even kidding when I say that Aziz Ansari doing that ruthless SNL impersonation of Kash Patel may be the actual tipping point for Trump to fire him.

In news that will get very little coverage, Mariska Hargitay's "End the Backlog Campaign" achieves rape kit reform in ALL 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico.

It's women who are going to save us. Thank you Mariska Hargitay.
