Anyone in the DMV that could help Mojo?

Due to my personal issues, I cannot keep her.

I'm selling everything and leaving.

She is very (mostly non verbal) well trained and the sweetest gal you'll ever meet.

Please I don't want to drop her at the shelter.

Love

Snagz

ICE are the #TrumpNaziGestapo, wake up, this is not normal run of the mill arrest and deport people who are dangerous. They are here to intimidate and instill fear on Americans. All the signs of fascism are here in America. Stop them. #DV1 #ProudBlue

What happens when Republicans shut down the government…

They break things. Take thing away. Fire fed employees simply because they’re Dems. Refuse to pay our military.

Literal party poopers…

The Government Shutdown is on Republicans.

They want to erase the day 30 million Americans finally got Healthcare.

Dems hold the line, stay in the fight. We can’t afford to let them.

In case you got lost in the steaming pile of bullshit Speaker Johnson’s been shoveling, the shutdown fight Democrats are holding the line on is about healthcare for hard-working Americans.

Leader Jeffries isn’t flinching, isn’t wobbling; he’s been consistent and hasn’t wavered on this issue.

A low-IQ neo-Nazi threatening an LGBT parade in Texas.

I always find it amusing wrestling with these neo-Nazis on X who still don’t understand the difference between free speech and a threat of imminent violence.

More schooling, fewer guns, Bubba! Have fun in prison!

This should be in the news where everyone, especially where States would be informed. @governor.ny.gov could push NY to add liquid air as part of the solution.

The liquid air alternative to fossil fuels. When the grid needs extra energy, the liquid air is put to work. It’s pumped out of storage & evaporated, becoming gas again. Afterwards, the air is released back into the atmosphere.

Annual mammograms saved my life 10 years ago. 4 millimeters is nearly impossible to see otherwise.

Does low dose radiation for 5 minutes once a year cause cancer?
No.

Does compression cause cancer?
No.

Please do not cancel your annual screenings because social media told you some inaccurate, conspiratorial theory.

I repeat, mammography is still the gold standard for screening.

Mammograms are still the gold standard for breast cancer screening.

Dr Facebook & Dr X are not where you should be getting your medical advice.

Will there be better tests in the future?
Probably. ⬇️⬇️

Congratulations, America.

Red state governors are ready to show Trump they can be just as heartless & cruel as he wants them to be.

They’re gleefully proposing their own versions of Alligator Alcatraz, terrible conditions & all.
