Dehydrated, crusted with fleas and small enough to not recognize water and solid food. He’s doing much better now, formula and learning about soft food.

Half the residents check them a couple times a week, and the other half are for summer homes that get checked a couple times a week only during June and July .. 🤬🤬🤬 Fortunately our neighbor wasn’t currently deployed and was able to bring a key within the hour to spring the lil guy.

This yet un-named kitten joined my household a week ago, when the spousal unit heard him crying weakly from within the neighbor’s locked security mailbox. Our mailboxes are all out on the main road a mile or so from the house.

Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from. I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR." It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.

If someone who only gets 300 a month for food supplement wants to spend 100 of it on lobster and eat ramen for two weeks to make up for it I figure it’s none of my damn business. If you have a problem with poor people having a rare luxury, it seems you feel poor people deserve nothing but misery.

If your idea of the future is Gavin Newsom, I really need y’all to aim higher. I’m begging you to please develop politics that include the least of these and don’t revolve around the privilege that allows you to settle for the nearest silver tongue. If that was gonna work, it would have by now.

On December 14, 2012, a mass shooter murdered 20 children, ages 6 and 7, and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. Four days later, evangelical author James Dobson claimed the mass shooting was God's retribution for abortion and gay marriage. He died today at 89.

We aren’t looking to fix any problems, Trump let one cartel buy their way into the country. This is an invasion. Mexico has already said it will respond with lethal force if we violate their borders. Trump is starting a war.
