It’s hard to believe but the Auto Club family— mama Porsche & her now 7-month old kittens Ferrari, Mercedes, and Bentley— have had no applications. Not one for any of them. They’ve been growing up together in foster care, shy at first & needing a quiet home. Elkton, MD Apply crits4cats.petfinder.com

Minnesota has been shaken to its core by political violence this year. We know first hand that rhetoric like this has real life consequences. Everyone should call this out for what it is - the sitting president calling for deaths of Members of Congress. This is what dictators do.

This is Shadow May, a gorgeous girl I photographed at her foster home today. She is so sweet and available for adoption in Burlington, VT! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

Thank you to the City of Saint Paul for hosting a food drive for community members affected by the government shut down. There will be four sites across the city. Donations of shelf-stable food and hygiene products are welcome. www.twincities.com/2025/11/04/s...

Democrats didn’t cave. They boxed republicans in and made them own the shutdown. Watch.

Go. Get. Her. Now!

If Washington won’t lead, Minnesota will. Trump is holding our tax dollars hostage and cutting off the funding that keeps 440,000 Minnesotans from hunger. I just announced $4 million in new funding for Minnesota’s food shelves to help our neighbors weather the storm.

Feeding America has a page where you can input your zip code and it'll show you all of the food banks near you overlaid on a map. If you need it, it's there. If you don't need it, think about donating money if you have it and your time if you don't. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

Today, I'm thinking of Paul, Sheila, Marcia, Mary, Tom and Will. They were taken from us much too soon. We honor their memories by continuing to organize every day. Paul believed that when we all do better, we all do better. So today, stand up and keep fighting. 💚

Big news out of Indiana today as Republican legislators surprise everyone by saying no to Donald Trump. Each crack in Trump’s facade of inevitability will lead to more. Let’s keep it up!

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Today is National Mammography Day, a reminder that annual mammograms are important for women age 40 and older and save lives. Most insurance covers mammograms. The MN Sage Program offers free cancer screenings for those without insurance: www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/can....

My husband’s ballot came in the mail. Mine did not. I looked into why and… I was purged from the voting roll. PLEASE CONFIRM YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION.

Happy Wednesday from adoptable kitty, Thumper! Thumper is ready for her art lesson! This teddy bear loves being in the middle of the action and she is going to be a super forever family member. Thumper is 4 years old and she is looking to be the one and only animal in her child free forever home.

Wanna stop getting calls and texts from me about Prop 50? Send your ballot in today. That removes you from the contact lists, and helps phone bankers use their time more effectively :)

Happy Magpie Monday from adoptable kitty, Koko! Koko is another of our sweethearts currently residing in our thekitchenmagpie sponsored room. This cutie is going to be the very best pal, he loves being close by to offer a helping paw! Koko is participating in our Thanks for Giving Me My Forever

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

We have elections - check your registration!

On 6 Oct 2025 a soldier who I proudly called friend punched his own ticket. It happens far too frequently. If you find yourself in those dark places, please reach out for help. Don't make a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Until Valhalla, my friend. Rest easy. We've got the watch.

Thank you, Sir

The shutdown is not the fault of democrats. Republicans can vote to fund the government without a single democrat by changing the rules to lower the 60 vote threshold like they did two weeks ago to push through 48 trump appointees at once. 10/

Telehealth disappeared last night. I rely on telehealth since my cancer team is six hours away. If I sit for more than an hour, it hurts and my lower body goes numb. Call your congressman and ask them to vote to restore telehealth. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Democrats have leverage — and they need to use it to fight back against this regime. Any Democratic senator who votes for a continuing resolution offered by Republicans will effectively be green-lighting the cruel policies passed in Trump's big, ugly bill. Do not cave in.

This is right on point. Exact.

New phishing scam to notify your parents and neighbors about about: text messages from the "Minnesota Department of Revenue" asking recipients to update their banking info. MN DOR will never ask for personal or financial information via text message.

Don’t forget to vote, Minnesotans! Today’s special election will determine who fills the state House seat after Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated in June.

Unsure how this 95% mutt shelter rescue got SO FANCY, but he definitely wants you to know how fancy he is.

Annyone in Maryland areas whomst can help?

It is impossible to overstate the inanity of the vapid and stupid stunt of renaming the Defense Department, and Congress should step in and put a stop to it immediately. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

WHITE CAT WEDNESDAY! Yes, she's still here! Bea(utiful) is 4 years 3 months-old and sponsored by Leah Hennen. SNAP Cats rescued Bea from Oakland, CA. Bea does not have any special needs because she came to us bonded with her brother, Bertie, who is a dwarf kitty with ataxia.

It’s too soon for us to get another cat, but if I were in the market, how could I resist this girl who would absolutely attempt to murder me in my sleep? (Sally is available at the Wisconsin Humane Society if you are in the market for a murder floof.)

Today was supposed to be adoption day for Bruticus, but the people who applied for him dropped out of contact and did not finalize the adoption contract or pay the fee so this guy is still on the market.

We just walked into an animal shelter because we drove by and saw they were having an adoption drive. Then the volunteers there told us that this sweetheart has been in the shelter for over a year. But they’re waiving the adoption fee for folks who come in to adopt Radar or another cat today.
