Crits For Cats, Inc. Cat Rescue @crits4cats.bsky.social · 4h

Bug is estimated to be between 3-5 years old and is already neutered, and he’s been brought up to date on his shots and is negative for FIV/FeLV. He is the absolute SWEETEST cat, an absolute boy who just wants to be cuddled & sit in your lap. He is adoptable at crits4cats.petfinder.com for no fee.

Bug, a handsome brown tabby cat, is held by his finder and closes his eyes while receiving cheek scritches.

Some more details:
-a 1-time, 5% wealth tax on billionaires currently living in the state
-affects around 200 people
-moving won't matter; based on 2025 residency
-billionaires earn 7.5%/yr, they'd still come out ahead
-yields enough to cover the Medicaid gap for 5 years & have some $ left for K-12

California is readying a one-time 5% tax on billionaires for the 2026 ballot that would go toward compensating for Trump's Medicaid cuts. The architects see it as a national model.
It will be announced today.

We are going to try and launch something that operates on 5000 dogs and stops 100,000 dogs being born into suffering.

We've shared budgets, planning, targets and data here.

Hopefully will be able to pull off the impossible!!

Trump’s agents have detained innocent American citizens and residents, from children asleep in their homes to an Alderman’s staffers.

All demanding proof of citizenship, without probable cause, with only the victim’s skin color as a reason.

This isn't about crime or safety.

“These federal agents are operating lawlessly, demonstrating utter disregard for our constitutional rights,” Ald. Mike Rodriguez (22nd Ward) said.

A blaring red warning signal for the rule of law; a President declaring “we’re just gonna kill people” without a trial or even a shred of due process.

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

NEW: U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis is allowing the deposition of Border Patrol boss Greg Bovino to expand to FIVE hours (she'd limited it to 2), and she wants to hear about use of force by CBP in Little Village on Wednesday and Thursday.

Plus a reminder to "preserve all body-worn camera footage."

In Chicago, @aldermanmattmartin.bsky.social has put out a call for community activism.

But I think anyone outside of Chicago can help, too.

Reach out to your own reps and demand action.

Never mind every other single abominable or corrupt thing to this miserable moment, the extrajudicial and unevidenced execution of 34 human beings by the U.S. Navy on the orders of a U.S. President acting in peacetime is sufficient for his impeachment and conviction.

If we were a republic, I mean.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.

The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

The remarks by the Republican House member from Pennsylvania align with efforts by the president and G.O.P. leaders to portray the political left as un-American.

Having been involved with this report for the past 5 years, overall takeaways IMO are:

- Good news: we know (in great detail) the things the 🌎 needs to do to stay w/in 1.5°C!
- Good news: we are doing many of the things!
- Bad news: we’re not doing ANY of the things at the necessary speed or scale!

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.

So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.

Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

Over the past five months we've met with more than a dozen pregnant people in ICE detention, some of whom have been detained and shackled without access to medical care.

We're calling for an immediate investigation.
