Meet Bumpy! This enchanting little chap was rescued over the weekend. This was Bumpy's first night with us, snuggled next to Keeper Simon. Simon put his mattress on the ground and the tiny hippo nestled by his side, swaddled in his cherry blanket.

Highly recommend Hell Put to Shame by Earl Swift You probably did not learn about the post Civil War peonage system in high school history. This narrative of mass murder in 1921 in Georgia and the trial that followed reports on that horrific part of our history.

This is not foreign policy, it’s a deranged mad man threatening to wipe out an entire country. It's past time. The 25th Amendment must be invoked.

Sometimes Easter falls on Trans Day of Visibility. Sometimes it falls on the same day as Passover. Hell, sometimes it’s on 4/20. But bombing civilian infrastructure is always a war crime, no matter what this transphobic so-called “Christian truth-teller” says to the contrary.

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
