SEATTLE! ***💕GRACIE NEEDS HER FOREVER HOME💕*** This foster girl is THE SWEETEST, goofiest, funniest, most loyal companion anyone could want. She is easy-going with humans, loves men AND women & teens. (No idea about littles) She has loads of energy and LOVES to SWIM, go for walks, SWIM, fetch, sniff, hang out with her people. Easy personality, friendly or indifferent with other dogs on walks. She can be situational with packs of dogs so no dog parks. She is perfect for one, two or a family of humans - the more human attention, the better! Food is her other passion. She is very food motivated -which can be helpful if she is in a Diva mood. She is not a morning girl - likes to sleep in given the chance. And goes to bed early if she doesn't like what you have on TV. She has a strong prey drive for cats, not so much around bunnies or squirrels although she notices them. She has some arthritis so a home with limited steps would be best. She can do some but a steep staircase would be a long term challenge. She on her second go 'round in foster care and it is not her fault. She was surrendered 2+ years ago by her family of 9 years. 😭 Adopted for 2 years then surrendered again due to death in the family and caregiver issues. Again, not her fault ! EVERYONE who meets her falls in love. Are you the right fit? She is a big girl, a very active senior and wants to be the only dog in the house - not too much to ask for a dog this adorkable and sweet. Adoption fee is covered at SavingGreatAnimals.org. Happy blond lap/pit mix smiling in the car Happy blond lap/pit mix sitting on a dock with two people standing behind her Happy blond lap/pit mix being petted by three children in a park

I’m tired of the multitude of examples of racism in 2025 and the endless sea of faces commenting THAT ISN’T RACIST because the arbiters of racism has always been white people.

They do the violence and they determine the weak sentences.

They voted for this and yell at us for not saving them.

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

And who's going to prosecute? Bondi’s DOJ? Trump is immune and he can just pardon his lackeys before he leaves office. There are truly no guardrails left.

In 2016 - right before Trump won his election, I was in a Starbucks minding my own business and this older person was talking LOUD to a younger companion - not a regular as I knew

"Dems are killing the country"
"Obama is the devil, Trump will end his ideals"

Really hard to see how Donald Trump is serving the American people. How does using American taxpayer money to buy a foreign government show strength? Embarrassing, not strong.
Trump Offered a Helping Hand to Argentina. It Backfired.

Roberts and Alito skipped their chance to ask questions.

Sooo... what's basically happening is that the Republicans have decided to let the Democrats absolutely dog-walk Ed Greim so they can feel better about this case that they're going to lose.

Greim, meet bus, tell me how the wheels look.
