Despite being worth more than $2 trillion, Amazon fails to pay its workers enough to make ends meet.
Support the Amazon Teamsters striking nationwide to win union recognition, a Teamsters contract, and to end Amazon's exploitation and greed!
We all know working conditions for Amazon workers have been terrible. Teamsters supported @UAW5810, I’m happy to support them in return - solidarity! Best wishes for new contracts ⭐️
🚨 BREAKING: The Teamsters Union has launched the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history. 🚨
Amazon has forced this strike by refusing to follow the law and bargain with the thousands of Amazon workers who organized with the Teamsters.
Now, Amazon Teamsters at facilities across the country will be striking, including primary picket lines at hundreds of Amazon Fulfillment Centers nationwide.
The festive season can present a few risks to our feline friends. 🙀 Here are some things to keep out of paws reach. ⏯️

It's THE time of year again and I can only repeat myself: animals are not presents. Especially not spontaneous or impulsive ones for children. They are commitments for many years. A pet requires dedication and research. Every year, many pets are abandoned and die miserably.
Here are the tips from Vetcation team for a Safe Thanksgiving for Your Pets
Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate with loved ones, including your furry family members. To ensure your pets stay healthy and happy during the festivities, here are some important things to keep in mind:
1. Beware of Thanksgiving Foods
•Turkey bones and fatty foods: Cooked bones can splinter and cause serious harm, while rich, fatty foods can lead to pancreatitis. Keep them out of reach!
•Onions, garlic, and spices: Common in many Thanksgiving dishes, these ingredients are toxic to pets.
•Desserts with xylitol or chocolate: Xylitol (a sweetener) and chocolate are highly toxic to pets. Watch out for desserts like pies, cookies, and candies.
2. Secure the Trash
Pets are curious, and the smell of leftover food and scraps can tempt them to dig through the trash. Dispose of leftovers securely to prevent accidental ingestion of harmful items.
3. Keep Alcohol Away
Even a small amount of alcohol can be dangerous for pets. Be sure to place drinks in areas they can’t reach.
4. Safe Spaces for Anxious Pets
With more guests and noise, some pets may feel stressed. Create a quiet, cozy space where they can retreat if they need a break.
5. Decorations and Candles
Keep decorations, especially those with small pieces, out of reach. Be cautious with candles to avoid burns or accidental knocks.
6. Holiday Travel
If you’re traveling with your pet, make sure their ID tag is up-to-date and consider microchipping. Pack essentials like food, water, medications, and a favorite blanket or toy for comfort.
7. Be Mindful of Table Scraps
If you want to treat your pet, stick to pet-safe foods like plain, unseasoned turkey (without skin or bones), green beans, or sweet potatoes. Better yet, opt for pet-specific treats!
Wishing you and your pets a joyful, safe, and memorable Thanksgiving! If you have any questions or concerns about your pet’s health during the holiday, don’t hesitate to reach out.
