You never get a second chance to make a good first impression

And by the way, my opinions are real, and they're spectacular!

Project Kamdhenu ❤️

Every morning, as the sun rises, our journey of compassion begins with feeding 100+ cows and bulls who struggle every day to find enough food on the streets.

These innocent souls cannot ask for help, but they feel hunger, pain and suffering just like us. ❤️

Through Project Kamdhenu, we are trying to ensure that no cow or bull in our reach has to spend another day hungry.

For us, feeding them is not just an act of kindness; it is our responsibility, our devotion and our way of serving Gau Mata. 🙏

Join our hands in this beautiful mission. Your little contribution can help us fill more empty stomachs and bring comfort to more voiceless souls. ❤️

BIG NEWS for animals forced into near-drowning experiments 🐭💙

@IPSTcro confirmed it no longer subjects mice and rats to forced swim tests 👏 We're one step closer to ending these cruel near-drowning experiments, and we won't stop until they're a thing of the past!

The peace talks are failing because Putin still believes he can win the war, and because Trump, Kushner and Witkoff encourage this belief. By pressuring Ukraine, not Russia, they are prolonging the conflict, which will kill more people.

[Adam Klasfeld @KlasfeldReports]

Why is a Houston-based US Attorney threatening a Connecticut-based Senator over constitutionally-mandated oversight of DC figures?

Because the DOJ is hemorrhaging staff, who don’t want to do this dirty work, and this US Attorney is a trained seal for Trump.

No other reason.

[Victoria Smith @Victori62352019]

@KlasfeldReports Perhaps he should be brought before one of the judicial oversight committees to explain his lack of knowledge regarding jurisdiction and the separation of powers?

The US is once again deliberately allowing Ukrainian civilians to be killed

This new Reuters report is stunning.

A week before the U.S. captured Venezuela's leader, JD Vance reportedly met at a private Montana ski club with John Addison, an oil trader who had given $300,000 to help elect Vance to the Senate in 2022. Vance allegedly asked how fast Venezuela's oil could be sold if America took control of it.

Both men deny the meeting.

Flight records show their planes parked together that day.

Two days after the Venezuela operation, Energy Secretary Chris Wright called Addison and offered his company, Vitol, the job of selling Venezuela's oil. There was no public bidding. Vitol and one rival have since made hundreds of millions of dollars.

Addison and his wife also gave $7 million to help elect Trump, and he now chairs a board advising Secretary Wright.

Congress has a duty to act.

We should bring Secretary Wright, Vitol, and Addison in to testify under oath. We should demand the phone records, emails, and flight logs. We should find out whether anyone got a heads-up about a military operation. And we should require open, competitive bidding before any company profits from our foreign policy.

If nothing was wrong, let’s see the records.

These baby monkeys should be clinging to their MOTHERS, not blankets in a laboratory 💔🐒 We’re demanding that @UW's Board of Regents confront the suffering inside its laboratories in the name of bad science and CLOSE the Washington National Primate Research Center!

Should everyone have showed up to vote? Absolutely. Pat Ryan even checked himself out of the hospital to get there! It’s embarrassing.

And as Jesse even noted, the Democrats are going to have a gazillion seat majority in January and Hakeem Jeffries has said everything is on the table. Robert Garcia is moving ahead on the accountability front and Jeffries is talking about big priorities like banning stock trading, restoring Medicaid cuts and Obamacare subsidies, reasserting Congressional authority over tariffs and war.

Doesn’t seem like the right moment for us to be so divided. Just my two cents!

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

It has been an honor to be part of the legal team that helped secure this historic victory.

I could not be prouder of the work Elias Law Group does every day to help Democrats like Scott Colom win elections, citizens vote and progressives make change.

Oh honey!!!

Poor @KatieMiller is WEEPING that $200M from her liege Elon Musk wasn't enough to sell Ken Paxton to people smarter than all of them.

He sold out our national security to keep the stock market high.

@ChopAbusador No thanks. Inconsistent.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

How fitting. The guy who covered up sex abuse at Ohio State & wanted to overthrow an election is now the Republican Leader in the House of Representatives.

It’s who they are. And it’s why they lost.

On the tiny island of Corvo in the Azores, about 450 people do something beautiful every autumn. 🌙

For five nights, the whole island switches off its lights.

It's for the baby Cory's shearwaters. When the young seabirds leave their nests for the very first time, they follow the light of the moon and stars to find the ocean. But bright street lamps and windows confuse them. Many fly toward the village instead, crash, and can't take off again.

So since 2019, the islanders turn off the lights, and the night sky guides the chicks safely out to sea.

No laws, no big budget. Just a whole community deciding that a few dark nights are worth it. 🐦💙
