Tennessee is sending letters to immigrant parents of disabled and terminally ill children enrolled in a last-resort public health program — kids on ventilators, kids with cancer, kids in wheelchairs - telling them that if their child keeps receiving medical care after June 30, the state will report them to ICE. This program has existed for over 50 years. It has never required immigration status. Until now. Children's Special Services is Tennessee's last-resort public health insurance program for low-income kids with the most severe disabilities and life-threatening illnesses - kids with no other coverage, no other options. The state just sent letters to at least 90 Nashville families giving them an impossible choice: keep your child alive, or stay invisible. One mother, Gabriella, has a 10-year-old son born with spina bifida who requires near-monthly emergency care. They're six months from a final ruling on their asylum case. She said if they're sent back to Honduras, "he's not going to make it." Here's the part that should make your head explode: the law Tennessee is using to justify this explicitly applies only to people 18 and older. These are children. Pediatricians, advocates, and lawmakers are all saying the state is misapplying its own law to reach kids it was never meant to cover. The Tennessee Justice Center says the directive is unlawful and is preparing a legal challenge. But families are afraid to come forward as plaintiffs. Because coming forward means being seen. The state health department has not responded to a single press request for comment. What kind of government sends a letter to the mother of a child on a ventilator and calls it immigration enforcement? 📷 Jose Carlos Cerdeno/Getty #DemsUnited

(Amanda) You won't believe what happened the other day. Maurine was inside Auntie Chrissie's greenhouse. When he saw her coming towards it he panicked and smashed his way straight through the glass door! It was a miracle that he wasn't hurt. Betty took loads of photos but there was no sign of injury, thank goodness. It didn't seem to have affected his appetite because he ate ALL of my breakfast!

(Amanda) I love this photo that Auntie Rachel took. I know I look a bit chunky but that's because I'm lying down. Betty says I'm perfect so I'm not worried. What do you think?

BREAKING: THANK YOU! Music legend Sheryl Crow shreds Trump's UFC fight on the White House lawn and the smear of Michelle Obama as "disgraceful" in a scathing takedown. She put into words EXACTLY what we're all feeling... "To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency," the singer wrote on her Instagram story. "Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living," she continued. "Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people," she went on. "It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them." "Let's be better, America.” The "vile and racist comment" in question came from fighter Josh Hokit who yelled out "Michelle Obama is a man!" It was a racist trope, with a long history in America, which asserts that Black women are inherently less feminine than white women. It's designed to dehumanize and humiliate people of color. Hokit has a history of bigotry. At a previous UFC event, he called WNBA All-Star Brittney Griner, a Black woman, a "man." Clearly, this man feels at home in the MAGA movement because he's surrounded by other white racists. Trump, predictably, didn't condemn Hokit's remarks. In fact, CNN reported that the President was seen showing a "half-smile” in response to the insult. The American presidency has hit rock bottom. Please ❤️ and share to thank Sheryl Crow for speaking out!

BREAKING: BRILLIANT! Rep. Becca Balint uses the disgusting UFC attack on Michelle Obama to remind the world that Melania Trump is in the Epstein files! When they go low, we go for the knockout punch... "The comment was disgusting, racist, and obviously not true, but this is a great opportunity to remind folks that First Lady Melania Trump was in the Epstein files, which is disgusting and unfortunately very true," Balint wrote on X. Last night during the tawdry UFC event on the White House lawn, racist fighter Josh Hokit yelled out "Michelle Obama is a man!" It was a familiar white supremacist trope which asserts that Black women are inherently less feminine than white women. In her tweet about the incident, Balint included screenshots of files in the Epstein trove that implicate our current First Lady. "Dear G! How are you?" Melania wrote to Epstein's right-hand woman, sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. "Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time! Love, Melania." Maxwell responded by calling Melania "sweetpea" and filling her in on her New York plans. The warm, familiar tone of the exchange makes it clear that the two were close friends, which adds fuel to the speculation that Melania was trafficked to Trump by the Epstein organization. She must be forced to testify the moment that Democrats retake control of Congress. The contrast between Michelle and Melania could not be starker. The former is compassionate, brilliant, and deeply empathetic. The latter is cold, incompetent, and shockingly comfortable hanging out with pedophiles. So comfortable in fact, she married one. Please ❤️ and share if you love Michelle Obama!

This move looks deceptively simple but the glass is 2,000° and moves at about the consistency of honey.

It's hot. Put a dish of water outside today with a few stones in it. During a heat wave, birds and bees need water as much as food. Honey bees drink it, haul it back to the hive, and use it to help cool the brood. But bees need a safe place to land. A deep bowl of water can become a trap. The fix is simple. Fill a shallow dish with pebbles or stones and add water until the tops stay dry. The bees get islands to stand on, and birds get a shallow edge to drink and bathe. Set it in the shade and dump and refill it every day. Fresh water in the heat, no mosquito problem. Two minutes, a dish, and a handful of rocks can make the hottest days a little easier for everything sharing your yard.

Peekaboo! Shivers has been here a while probably because she’s a shy girl. She’s got the looks for sure 😍 She’s 5yrs old and scared of most things however we’ve seen a big improvement recently out on her walks. Shivers needs a home with other confident steady dogs and it won’t be long before she’s absolutely fine. She’s just got blocked here in the kennels and needs a fresh start. Plz share 🙏🏻❤️
