Hi, for those who know, our cat got sick over the weekend and we still aren't sure what caused it. You can read my initial post about it here.

It is now Monday and Spurs condition has not improved. When she did eat Saturday night, she only nibbled a bit and other food fell out of her mouth when she tried to chew it. Yesterday She stopped eating and drinking and clearly is in pain around her mouth. When I opened Spurs mouth to give her meds, it smelled rotten. She just tried to eat some kibble again, but it kept falling out of her mouth.

I am making a GFM right now, but need funds to be available for her appointment this afternoon. My account is already overdrawn -$325.46 from her previous urgent care visit on Saturday, and this visit will cost at LEAST $213.

We have been Scrambling and unaware of how to navigate predatory pet insurance, vets and other programs. It's been nonstop asking community members, friends and others for advice. We finally landed on a reputable vet and got her an appointment for 2PM today.

I don't qualify for any of the "pet credit lines" the only payment plans offered in my area, either. I'm trying to ask my bank for an emergency loan but am not gonna hold my breath. Once we are able to pay for the exam and get a treatment plan + bill from the vet, there ARE grants we can apply for, but we will be forced to ultimately pay more to treat symptoms and not the underlying problem until we can afford to treat the underlying problem.

There's this entire myth that loads of people are faking/exaggerating sickness for some social/financial benefit, but the reality is that most are actually pretending to be LESS sick than they are because that's what society demands.

A followup tweet from the same user adds:

The big bombshell spoiler is that people aren't faking illness or disability, they're faking wellness and functionality.]

Minnesota toy shop hit with shock audit by Trump officials after criticizing ICE on TV, owners claim

The United States actually had open borders until 1924. There was no cap on immigration, and people were only denied access based on race and disability. (x)

The Immigration Act of 1924 had an overall negative impact on the economy (x) (x) and foreign relations with Asia, but Hitler praised it (x), because it was just blatant eugenics (x).

ICE didn't exist until 2003 (x)

Being undocumented is not actually classified as a crime (x). If it was, cases would be handled by the judicial branch, and defendants would receive the benefits of due process. But because it isn't, it is handled by the executive branch, and defendants do not get due process, in clear violation of their rights. That means no lawyers, no jury, and no real judge.

Immigration "judges," who are not required to have nearly as much experience or education in law as real judges (x), face no consequences for wrongful deportation, they are only really evaluated based on how many people they process.

While it's difficult to pin down an exact number, there have been an estimated 4,000 wrongful detention/deportations by 2010 alone (x - this one suggests a possible 20,000) (x - this one confirms over a thousand), with several reported on in mainstream media (Mark Lyttle, Pedro Guzman, Roberto Dominquez, Andres Gonzalez, Esteban Tiznado-Reyna).

In April 2025, there were several more confirmed wrongful deportations, including a 2-year-old citizen deported to Honduras (x) (x), a 10-year-old with brain cancer on her way to a medical appointment (x), and a 7-year-old and her 4-year-old brother with stage 4 cancer (x).

Mohammed Abu Alwan was shot by an IDF tank!! His suffered injuries to his hand and forearm and will need continued medical care. Nevertheless he must continue to take care of his three children, whose mother was killed by the IDF, and keep working to distribute aid with his organisation Relief for Rafah. You can help with medical bills and food costs for Mohammed and his children via:

"Hello, my name is Benji. I'm a disabled, mentally ill, Black trans man, and I've been homeless for quite some time. I've been hopping from place to place, but my family and I keep getting kicked out, or family members don't want to help house us.

We lost our car, so we can't go anywhere or make money. The hotel we were currently in kicked us out and gave us a restraining order, so we can't go back to the property. We have no way to carry our belongings that still remain in the hotel. Our clothes, food, dog food, electronics, and my medication are in our suitcases.

We need a way to get an Uber or something so we can get our belongings and have a way to rent a car so we can leave the streets. It's just me, my mom, and our three dogs, and we haven't eaten since our stuff is at the hotel.

So please, again, if you can help so me, my mom, and our dogs can survive. We are struggling hard, and no one will take us because we have three dogs. Hotels are expensive, and they can only take two dogs for free. We have to get rid of one of our dogs to survive out here.

I'm crying for help because I've been going through this for too long, and I've been having an unlucky time when family I thought would help me just take and turn a blind eye. I'm suicidal, but I don't want to leave my mom alone. I want us out in the open and to get some food and rest.

So please, please help! More info on my GoFundMe! It is very urgent so we don't have to sleep in the crazy Florida weather 😭

My dad was Argentinian and there were many years, after he moved to the USA in the 60s, where he could not visit home. I think he lived here for about 15 years before he took his first trip back to visit. It took me many years to understand what had been going on in my dad‘s country that whole time, with his whole family back there.

I write these words with deep sadness and pain because my wife urgently needs a surgery we cannot afford, and she is suffering from severe malnutrition and a serious vitamin deficiency. Her condition is getting worse day by day in the hell of Gaza, and with the lack of food, medicine, and basic supplies, her chances of survival are extremely slim.

All I am trying to do is gather enough donations to survive the hell of Gaza and escape at the first opportunity to save my wife. Your support could be the difference between life and death. Please donate and share this plea every minute matters.

they're also claiming that one abductee currently in the ICU "deliberately ran head-first into a brick wall." this, after one agent told a healthcare worker that the abductee "got his shit rocked."

In a memo to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem regarding tribal members recently detained by ICE, Frank Star Comes Out, president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, said:

“This is a treaty violation. Treaties are not optional. Sovereignty is not conditional. Our citizens are not negotiable.”

He added:

“The irony is not lost on us.”
