Morning Kitten Point of personal privilege: This girl disappeared 2 weeks ago when workers were here. The entire neighborhood looked for her, until we finally accepted she was gone. And then, yesterday morning, she appeared, howling at the back door, hungry but seemingly fine💙 Never give up!

Meta just yanked No Kings' Instagram accounts…on the day millions hit the streets to protest. Coincidence? You decide. But here's what they can't delete: you, showing up. Find your local No Kings event. Today. Don't wait for permission.

ICE just tried to kidnap a US BORN CITIZEN in Long Beach. The neighborhood blocked them in and didn’t let them take her away! She was able to escape, thanks to her community. FUCK THESE LOSERS, THEYRE SCARED OF US. STAY ALERT, STAY ARMED, STAY READY.

My generation grew up knowing that Europe and the US stood together to defeat Hitler. Future generations will grow up knowing that Europe stood with Ukraine, while the White House sided with the Hitler of our time.

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.

In case you forgot what a U.S. president beloved by the world looks like. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 Live in Manchester: An Evening with President Barack Obama. The arena holds up to 23,500 people with standing room, and the event was SOLD OUT.

Zelenskyy might be saving our democracy. The mad genius is bombing Russian data centers linked to FAKE NEWS bot farms. Without them, Putin’s midterm influence will accidentally fall from a 30th floor window. I 💙 Ukraine 🇺🇦

If you're angry about the men at Cornell University, wait until I tell you about the men in the White House, the Pentagon, health and human services, and on the Supreme Court.

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

If you know someone is being raped, abused, or exploited, silence is not neutrality. Speak up. Report it. Get help. Fifty-seven people can sit in a group chat and say nothing—but every person who knows has a choice: protect the silence, or protect the victim. #Pinks ✨

Every survivor of rape deserves to be heard—not only the ones whose stories are easy to understand, perfectly remembered, or comfortable to believe. Listening should not depend on who they are, who harmed them, or how long it took them to speak. #Pinks 💖✨

Apparently people are trying to doxx Cornell’s Jane Doe. I have never felt so concerned about a Jane Doe in my entire life. I am shaken. It is so incredibly difficult for women to pursue justice. Sexual assault causes higher PTSD rates than war. This excerpt is by Rebecca Solnit.

The Pentagon is notifying millions of current and former U.S. military servicemembers and staff that hackers stole their *unencrypted* personal information during a months-long data breach. The agency that had the breach also handles ID and login/credential access to U.S. military systems and bases.
