Apparently if this post finds you.. you’re legally obliged to show us the last photo you took of an animal. We don’t make the rules. 😂

It's been 6 long years, but I'm finally seeing @AsgeirMusic live on stage again! (My previous NYC tix were cancelled due to COVID.) Can't wait for his @lprnyc show tonight! AND I'll be seeing him again in a month for @IcelandEclipse! Twice in one summer — JÁ! 🇮🇸🎶

[Ásgeir @AsgeirMusic]

@bethmonster soon 👏

My biggest takeaway from the past few days is that not a single member of Congress is willing to risk anything at all to be on the right side of history

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

So he’ll stop bombing Iran in order to reopen the Strait of Hormuz…

…which was open before he started bombing Iran.

Got it.

REMINDER: The Republicans' budget bill made private jets tax-deductible.

Yes, it made private jets fully tax-deductible. It’s clear who Republican politicians are working for… and it’s not you.

"They killed protesters. They are ANIMALS." —Donald Trump

He's projecting again. HE killed protesters, right here in the U.S. HE is an animal.

The Iranian people are NOT animals. They are human beings. My heart is still broken for those little Iranian schoolgirls Trump bombed.

[Stew Peters @realstewpeters]

TRUMP: “The Iranians are animals. That’s why blowing up their bridges and power stations isn’t a war crime.”

I’m at loss for words.

YouTube's algorithm just sent me this song. Is it a sign?💅

The Trump DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases in the first six months of Trump's second term — abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases, according to an analysis by ProPublica. https://t.co/VQx91zzkZ8

Spraying just one dandelion with roundup will kill 100+ pollinators.

The flower won't die right away and will be visited by dozens of bees and butterflies, poisoning them as well.

NEVER spray spring dandelions. Ever.

@4_ActressRainey @Naomi_is_bae China's one-child policy = up to 15 million infanticides of girl babies between 1980 and 2015 because boys were more desirable

@Isabelletkrause Frodo had to go to the Undying Lands with Gandalf, Bilbo and the Elves because he was dying from the unhealable wound left by the Morgul blade shard. It was slowly killing him throughout the whole LOTR journey, from the moment he was stabbed on Weathertop

@MarinaPurkiss I agree with this. "Billionaire-ism" IS a mental disorder that impairs healthy functioning. It belongs in the DSM-5, so it can be diagnosed and treated with medication and/or hospitalization. Those who have it are a danger to themselves and others. They make the world unsafe.

Per Fortune magazine, The United States Treasury has declared the U.S. to be insolvent and the media isn’t reporting on it at all.

The second photo explains the numbers in ways Americans (especially the ones who voted for this) can understand.

Lots of people buy pet bunnies for Easter & then, once they realize how high-maintenance rabbits are, they release the bun buns outside in the mistaken belief that they can survive in the wild. THEY CAN'T. They will suffer and die. WATCH this rescue video: https://t.co/CfYutNidlU

Hey @SECPaulSAtkins & @SECGov: If you don't investigate, get the names and prosecute, I'm going to assume you're complicit and got a payoff

BREAKING: Traders placed roughly $580 million in oil bets just 15 minutes before President Trump posted about a potential Iran peace deal, per FT.

The positions, around 6,200 futures contracts, were executed moments before the announcement and aligned with the sharp move lower in oil prices that followed.

The trades are estimated to have generated over $100 million in profit within 20 minutes.

FT Exclusive: Traders made bets worth half a billion dollars in the oil market about 15 minutes before Donald Trump’s post touting 'productive' talks with Iran sent the price of crude tumbling https://t.co/KVa0cZRLn0

Did you know Goodwill made $2.1 BILLION in revenue last year?

They pay executives 6-figure salaries.

They pay workers sometimes less than minimum wage via a legal loophole.

They get their inventory donated for free
then sell it back to the public.

The thrift store for “poor people” is one of the most profitable nonprofits in the country.
