Drawing: Possible causes of your problems. I've been appalled at the scenes we've witnessed over the last few days. It's utterly unacceptable that people should have to live in fear because of the colour of their skin. [Polite comments only, please.]

“Trump acts publicly in ways that would make him unemployable in any other career field…” Thank heavens a reader writes the truth for the Washington Post…. Hope the actual media will follow suit.

As floods & fires rise, oceans boil & ice melts, and "safe" temperatures are breached, something momentous just happened in the heart of the EU. No one has heard about it: journalists were present, but their editors refused to publish 🤯. 🧵, please RT. #BeyondGrowth2023 1/

They don’t do drop boxes for animals any more for the reasons outlined in this thread and yet more states are legalizing and/or publicizing them for tiny humans. Is anyone other than #adoptees calling out baby boxes?
Replying to @NEHumaneSociety
Why we are doing this: - The vast majority of shelters nationwide have closed their night dropboxes due to research showing it is not in the best interest of the animals who occupy them. 2/8
