Meet Benita, a gentle 9-year-old who is so ready for her soft place to land.
She was found living in a derelict car doing her best to survive & scavenging for food. When she came into our care, she was thin, exhausted & covered in fleas – a little soul who had been fending for herself for too long.

There have been reports of volunteers in TN being harassed, and those incidents have been forwarded to local authorities. Everyone deserves to participate in our democracy without fear or intimidation. If you ever find yourself in a situation that feels unsafe, don’t hesitate to reach out for help.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge.

The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

With 🧊 in Charlotte, we will be posting as many resources as we can find to help anyone in Charlotte as well as what we need to know across the state.

Carolina Migrant Network has a hotline that you can call especially if you are in Charlotte. They will verify that it is 🧊 and will notify.

The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.

Racial profiling, no warrant, no due process; but what else can one expect from a regime committing extrajudicial murder on the high seas?
