Every dog lover should get to experience this… 🐕 Every morning at 6am I get to feed 80 street dogs. 🥘 We actually cook food for 1300 street dogs daily. It looks like the highlight of their day but it also the best part of my day ❤️

If you need a smile today please enjoy Rocky being “walked” by his disabled brother Coconut. It’s not just a little thing either. Watch at the end and you’ll see they know exactly what they are doing. Dogs truly are special creatures ❤️

It has now been 300 days since the DOJ was legally required to release the entirety of the Epstein files. We’re not going to give up our fight to hold this administration accountable for their coverup and give the victims the justice they deserve. Release the files.

Medicare Advantage plans need major reform. We’ve seen how so many of them don’t work for rural communities, like in Vermont. But why are our options driven by profit in the first place? Everyone should be able to access high-quality care. We need Medicare for All.

Millions Lose Private Medicare Plans and Face Rising Costs
As enrollment for Medicare Advantage begins this month, older Americans are confronting fewer options because insurers are discontinuing coverage in many areas.

This begs several very important questions: Is this data being delayed because it contradicts the party line? Or because the admin gutted federal agency staff? Why is the Treasury Dept even involved here? The American people deserve transparency from their own government.

Took me a couple of days but we eventually got this gorgeous gentle boy in. Hit by a car and locals throwing rocks at him. I called him Abraham Lincoln. Abe for short. He's scared but I can see from his eyes he thinks we might just be OK.

Sometimes I get sent a video or photo of a dog and we have to drop everything. This was such a case. Left behind by his "owners" and in a bad way medically. I'm hopeful we can turn his life around. I called him Frank as I hope he puts on weight one day and becomes Frank the Tank

No doubt this has occurred to other bystanders as well, but it would seem that a handful of billionaires dropping $150 million into a single state's election in an attempt to defeat a wealth-tax initiative just about makes the entire case for a wealth-tax initiative.

CA's is a one-time 5% wealth tax and the $$$$ the billionaires have spent to defeat Prop 40 is disgusting. They could have paid for health care for millions with the $$$ they are spending to defeat a one-time tax. Greed is an ugly virtue. bsky.app/profile/spou...
