Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves. If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such. 🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car

Apparently the Threads app only exists to host click bait to lure Instagram users into a different ad space.

RIP to my brother's dog, Hank. He was the best good boy that I ever did photoshop:

A beautiful family portrait of five people and a dog, but I've photoshopped the dog's head onto the people: dam, mom, two children, and baby.

Must-read column from @ppaohio.bsky.social's @daniellefirsich.bsky.social: "Unless Governor DeWine uses his line-item veto power, House Bill 96 will take away Medicaid from the 770,000 Ohioans who received coverage with the 2014 expansion, and the consequences would be disastrous."

‼️ TAKE ACTION: Demand Gov. DeWine veto this terrible budget bill by calling his office at (614) 466-3555 or by sending an email at AbortionForward.org/2025Budget The version of the budget currently sitting on Gov. DeWine's desk is cruel for cruelty’s sake, plain and simple.
