A tale of two Americans: The Pope speaks out against Russian atrocities. The president says nothing (and even worse, relaxes sanctions on Russia while ending aid to Ukraine).

Ask yourself how you would respond if another country, say Russia, demanded that the United States unconditionally surrender or it would blow up all our bridges and power plants. Would you choose surrender or would you choose defense?

Golden retrievers gathered on Boston Common today to honor Spencer, the beloved Boston Marathon dog known for holding a Boston Strong flag along the route.

Spencer passed away after battling cancer.

“A year ago our country was an embarrassment. All over the world, they laughed at us…”

A year ago you were president and people are still laughing at you. 🤷‍♂️

A vivid digital artwork of a planetary nebula resembling a glowing cosmic eye, with a bright central star surrounded by concentric rings of blue, gold, and white gas. Wispy, luminous filaments radiate outward into a dark star-filled background, creating a dramatic, swirling halo effect.

The void blinked, and in the gap between darkness and forever, an iris of azure flame and gilded interstellar dust unfolds. Tendrils of dying starlight comb the black for a last embrace—a universe-wide sigh dressed in a halo of final, radiant breath.

Trump has his Cabinet and flunkies out on the Sunday news justifying genocide, "wiping a civilization off the face of the Earth."

Little do they know, they are convicting themselves, on camera, for a lifetime in prison, conspiracy to commit war crimes.

Your time is coming. You are going down.

GOP, It’s never the guns!!!

Eight children, ranging in age from 1 to 14 years old, were shot dead in Shreveport, Louisiana, in what police are calling a "domestic disturbance."

A fuzzy great horned fledgling perches on a branch.

FINALLY. We’ve graduated from owlet to fledgling! The other one is still in the nest, but progress! 🦉🪶

A brown bunny lies flat on a soft pink blanket. A TV in the background displays a sports scene.

I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.

Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires.

It's a disgrace.

Jewish trauma is real.

The Holocaust was real.

Antisemitism is real.

And none of that makes the genocide of the Palestinians and Lebanese any less real.

A black and white dog with black eyespots sits on a wooden kitchen floor and looks up appealingly at the person standing next to her (the photographer). The dog appears to have a little smile and the expression "I'm super cute, how about giving me some of those treats you're cutting up?"

POV: someone is cutting up treats for the dogsitter and you would like to remind them that you are a very very good girl

Manual labor is The Best Way to destress. Close to 25 dogs will sleep tonight in clean kennels with warm blankets and kongs for enjoyment. Our shelter has nearly 200 dogs: staff (plus volunteers) work hard to exercise, train, feed, and play with all.

For 5+hours I had no idea what "he" did. Bliss!

The DOJ is now 5 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files.

Holding these criminals accountable should be the Nuremberg of our time.

This is Dog. I met him after church today. We played fetch until my arm got tired. It was fun.

HE WILL DESTROY THE WORLD TO PREVENT THE REAL EPSTEIN FILES FROM BEING RELEASED. BUT WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE HE IS “INNOCENT?!”

Stop praising Orbán for not attempting a coup.

He only stepped down because Magyar's win was too massive to steal.

He rigged the constitution, captured the institutions, and used state media to his advantage.

He did everything he could to destroy democracy, and he failed

Today is the 2 year anniversary of when I met the Ravens. They just checked me out from a distance then! Here is some of my fav footage: them courting, feeding each other, barrel rolling and some of their vocalisations. They are the most amazing birds and I am so lucky to have them!

I know I sound like old Granny Ashley yelling on her front lawn, but I miss magazines. I miss video stores. I miss music collections. I miss 22 episode television. I miss music videos. I miss when all these things provided jobs that supported people.

The internet gave us a lot. It took a lot too.

She showed up at the shop door, ribs showing, eyes sunken, tail tucked but hopeful. The kind of dog that’s learned to expect nothing from anyone… yet still tries. The shop owner didn’t look away. He grabbed a scoop of food and held it out. She hesitated for a second, then…

Have you ever felt like, "I don't want to live on this planet with all this incredible wrongness happening that I have no control over!"? ... and then.. consider your options?
That's why I chose not to own a gun, a long time ago.

Now I just look at my dogs. :)

In a nutshell. 😊

Happy 80th birthday to the fab Tim Curry, pictured with Rocky Horror creator, Richard O'Brien as Riff Raff & Patricia Quinn as Magenta. I once interviewed O'Brien who said that Frank n' Furter was a reflection of his own diverse sexuality. For moderns who like absolutes -sometimes there aren't any.

It's been 10 yrs folks. They are not going to wake up. They are not going to emerge from their cult.

We only get out of this when we decide to fight. And Im not talking about lawsuits & memes.

America is broken & necrosis is starting. We must amputate the infected regions & work w/ whats remaining

Never in American history have we had so many people follow such a self serving corrupt President so blindly willingly and so empathic

It shows how Hitler was able to accomplish the evil he did and the masses that enabled and went along with it
We are not there yet but we need to wake up !!

Adorable photo of black and white cat with a smudgy black nose sitting on a blanket. She was one black spot on her white paw.

Happy Birthday Sam Sam! She is (officially) 17 years old today 😻

I miss the good old days of politics, when one poorly-judged tax dodge would be the end of your political career
