This Easter season, we want to remind cat owners to keep lilies out of their homes. All parts—petals, leaves, stem and pollen—of the Easter lily plant are poisonous and can cause kidney failure in cats within 72 hours. Tiger, day, rubrum, stargazer, and Japanese show lilies are also toxic to cats.

Can this finally put an end to the idea that Republicans are fiscally responsible?

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

I hope you read, really consider its implications, and share it widely. "It is often said: When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. If that is true, then only weeks into Donald Trump’s four-year term, we are approaching tyranny."

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

The only takeaway from last night's SOTU speech that actually matters so far as our future is concerned is that only ONE democrat was removed from the chamber for standing up to Trump's bullshit. Only one old democrat with a cane and no fucks left for fascism. It should have been ALL of them.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Did you know? There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.” Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

Inflation is climbing—again. January’s CPI rose 3%, with eggs up 15.2%, fuel oil 6.2%, and used cars 2.2%. The Fed won’t cut rates anytime soon, keeping borrowing costs high. And with Trump’s 25% tariffs on steel & aluminum imports, prices could skyrocket in 2025. This isn’t bad luck—it’s policy.

U.S. inflation accelerated last month as the cost of groceries, gasoline and rents rose, a disappointment for families and businesses struggling with higher costs and likely underscoring the Federal Reserve’s resolve to delay further interest rate cuts. to.pbs.org/41g5XyU

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Trump's Gaza plan is to round up the survivors, march them across country to some desolate place in a foreign land, and then take their property for "redevelopment." Who came up with this, the Bureau of Indian Affairs? If Trump offers you blankets, make sure you've got your smallpox vaccination
