For new folks, the last 6 yrs I’ve run a vape/CBD shop in TX. Tariffs, import issues, and as of September, the first of many radical statewide bans have utterly destroyed the market. I’m working on getting out and following my passion but I could use some help, either directly here or share! Cats!

Border walls are terrible for nature, too.

The U.S.-Mexico border wall may pose perils to pollinators

Early research has shown the federally-funded border wall-in-progress at the U.S.-Mexico border can stop or deter the migration of pivotal pollinators through habitat destruction and the walls themsel...

I am an animal lover.

ICE shot and killed a family dog during a sweep looking for migrants.

Americans, I want you to care about Chop, the dog.

But I want you to care that we live in a Nazi state with white Americans bursting into homes to violently separate families MORE.

“This heckin’ pupperino fucking hates La Migra,” to paraphrase from @weratedogs.com

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

If a foreign nation state inflicted the same amount of damage on this country that the Trump Regime is inflicting, the United States would respond with nuclear weapons.

reading how foxes are self-selecting now, on an evolutionary basis, for "sociable with humans" and then seeing a flood of "this fox decided to be fwiends with me" videos and it's like foxes finally decided that that one particular group of wolves had the right idea when they decided to become dogs
