Wonderful to see @GlenMatlock and @clem_burke at @GAMH last night. I think it's been 7 years since last time. Fantastic night and with @gilbyclarke and Steve Fishman.

Can you help?

We are facing a critical emergency – and we desperately need your help. Our animal ambulance, which is so essential for rescuing injured and suffering animals, has suffered a catastrophic engine failure. The engine is completely seized and cannot be repaired. Without this vehicle countless animals will be left without urgent, emergency help. We desperately need to purchase a reliable second-hand animal ambulance van, costing approximately €23,000. The ambulance is one of our lifelines. It allows us to rescue injured animals from road accidents and conflict areas and transport emergency cases to our Free Clinic. We can move animals requiring specialist treatment safely and quickly. It can deliver food and medical supplies to communities desperate for aid. It can deliver rabies vaccines to communities who need help. We can respond quickly when and wherever animals are suffering. Without it, lives will be lost. Every donation we receive will bring us closer to replacing our ambulance and continuing with our life saving work. Together with you, our amazing supporters, we can put an ambulance back on the road, ensuring that vulnerable animals can receive the care they desperately need. We are sorry that we have to ask you for help on top of the food appeal. Please donate if you can, and please share this appeal with your friend, family and animal lovers everywhere. Please help us.

I drove to 648 Grassmere Park to see it for myself. I had no idea what was about to be built 50 yards from the @nashvillezoo. A data center. Right against the treeline where the animals my kids grew up visiting are kept. I’m not anti-technology… The phone you’re reading this on is tied to one of these somewhere. We all live in this now. But here’s the thing nobody’s telling you: a low hum doesn’t stop at a wall. It goes right through it. And the zoo’s own CEO says it’d sit 50 yards from animals they’ve spent decades trying to protect and breed. No study. No rules. No vote. Just a rushed permit. You don’t have to hate the future to say: not like this. The petition’s in my bio. Takes 10 seconds. Right now, 10 seconds is the whole fight. 🐆

One Follow. One Share. One Life Changed. ❤️ There are days when no donations come. Days when I lie awake at night wondering how we will pay for food, medicines, treatments, and the daily care of the hundreds of animals already depending on us. There are days when I have to think twice before saying yes to another rescue, not because they do not deserve help, but because every animal already in our care is also depending on us. Not everyone can donate, and that is completely understandable. But please remember this: A follow costs nothing. A like costs nothing. A comment costs nothing. A share costs nothing. Yet one share can place our work in front of someone who can help. Someone who can sponsor a treatment. Someone who can sponsor food. Someone who can save a life. While you may not be able to donate, your engagement could reach the person who can become a miracle for an animal in desperate need. So please don't scroll past our donation appeals. Like them. Share them. Comment on them. Follow our work. It takes only a few seconds, but it could help the animals already under our care and the countless others still waiting for rescue. 💳 PayPal: paypal.me/TAWFUK ❤️ Construction GoFundMe: gofundme.com/f/tawf-sanctuar… 🔗 Linktree: linktr.ee/tahiraanimalwelfar… #StopDogCullingPakistan

Everyone COPY this video, share it far and wide. Paramount Skydance billionaire baby David Ellison can’t handle that Stephen Colbert is getting millions of views . @Youtube we will cancel our subscription as we did when we dumped @paramountplus.

📍SF Bay Area We still have all these very adoptable kittens waiting for homes somehow: Goomba, Toadette, Carol & Hubert, and Soda Can They're getting close to 1 year old and are getting passed up for younger kittens. They're all extremely sweet 💔

A lot of you know me as the lady from Layla’s Heart Ranch and Rescue… But what you may not know is I started writing because I am trying to save it. Donations have been really hard to come by. And when that happens… the animals feel it. So I wrote Eyce & Phineas: Hands and Hearts—inspired by a real rescue deaf pitbull named Eyce… Who I met volunteering at a local shelter, and who I had my dad adopt. Now he lives here on the ranch. And every single book sold helps keep dogs like him fed, cared for, and safe. This book isn’t just a story… It’s a way we keep going. I also have a new book coming July 5th. If you believe in what we do: 🐾 Follow my author pages Facebook: facebook.com/share/1B5CC1cym… Instagram: instagram.com/katiejohnsonbo… Twitter/X: x.com/katiejohnsbooks?s=21 🐾 Like, share, and help us reach more people 🐾 Grab a copy here: amazon.com/dp/B0G9WMPY2P Because stories can help keep rescues like ours going. #laylasheartranchandrescue #katiejohnsonbooks #eyceandphineas #bookswithheart #childrensbookauthor

Time to stop the vanity projects. If you are polling under 10 per cent in the California governor's primary, you're selfishly helping Republicans do a hostile take-over of our state.

Democrats polling below 10% MUST drop out of the race now. We have to see who we consolidate behind without the vote splitting. This is too dangerous for the state and the country.
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco is a right-wing extremist. If he becomes governor of California, he’ll be a direct extension of Donald Trump. “I am the antithesis to California state government because I am going to take a nuclear bomb into that building…”

No links. No news. No difficult content. Just rescued dogs, safe and playing. And still, almost no reach. So we have to ask if this platform still works for the dogs. If you’re seeing this, please like or share it so others do too.
From streets and shelters to the dogs’ playground. Running, rolling, chasing, barking, living. Sometimes the smallest piece of land can mean the biggest change in a dog’s life.

A plea from Kabul: I know this is probably going to be hidden by the AI algorithms we've been struggling so much with recently. But we need to be seen right now, so I'll give it the old college try and beg Facebook to just show our pleas for help to the many people who support us and really do want to know what's going on here. The urgency is as real as a scream in the dark. So if you see this, please read to the end. The entire KSAR Team, our management and our staff, all of us are committed without hesitation to ensuring the current and continued safety of our staff, the survival of our animals, and the open doors of these shelters and hospitals we've fought so hard to build from nothing with sweat and blood and heart. Right now it is late at night and quiet in Kabul, and we are grateful. We are also aware that could change in a matter of seconds and without warning. We're as ready for that possibility as we can be and calm because of those preparations. But the ongoing economic free fall, supply shortages, and cost inflation resulting from nearly all of the borders of Afghanistan closed due to conflict---this causes constant dread. It is hard, really f*cking hard. We are struggling to stay afloat now and to find adequate resources for the immediate future. We truly need continued and profound help to manage this and survive, and we don't for how long. Thinking in months is more realistic than thinking in days or weeks. I am grateful to the core that none of our staff or animals were harmed in the airstrikes in Kabul that just one week ago killed so many civilians, including hundreds of patients at a hospital just a few miles away. We were lucky. We can grieve with the community suffering around us now, we do. We can hope and pray that it doesn't happen again. But we are powerless to prevent intentional violence of that magnitude, completely. What we can do now, what we have to do, is stay afloat, feed the souls in our care, protect the voiceless lives that depend on us, insist that those lives matter with our own voices. And just as important, we need to lift up our staff and their families so that they can weather these shortages without hunger or fear of hunger. These force majeure moments--this is when promises matter, community and responsibility matter. So we simply can't fail. Please help us pull through this. It won't be forever, we'll get on our feet again. But right now we're not. The links below are a few concrete immediate needs. Every donation makes a difference. And we need your voices, your care, your effort. We need you. 🔗 mygivingcircle.org/kabul-sma…

Californians! Please pay attention to this!! This man could be our next governor!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Chad Bianco is the Riverside County Sheriff and a leading Republican candidate for governor of California. He seized 650,000 ballots from a November special election on Proposition 50 — the measure that redrew California's congressional districts to favor Democrats. The triggering complaint came from the Riverside Election Integrity Team, a citizen group. The county registrar already reviewed their findings and said the group misinterpreted how votes are counted. The documented variance county officials acknowledge is 103 votes — 0.016 percent. Bianco claims the real discrepancy is 45,000 votes. Bianco obtained judge-signed search warrants, but the California Attorney General has raised serious concerns that the warrant affidavits omitted material facts and may not have established probable cause. Bianco stonewalled the AG's document requests. A court has appointed a special master to oversee the count. A sheriff running for governor using law enforcement authority to seize ballots from an election result he has direct political and electoral interest in challenging — based on a citizen group complaint the registrar already debunked — is not a neutral fact-finding mission. The conflict of interest does not disappear because a warrant was issued.

Getting quite worried as it seems animal accounts are getting a hard time on X. Our work depends upon getting the message out there on the plight of the animals of Pakistan and of course much needed donations. Plan is to create a back up account just incase something happens. I will need you to please follow it. It won't be the same posts as this will remain as the main account. Most probably you will just see our sanctuary residents. Hope that's OK with you all 🙏🏼

Sadly it’s becoming harder and harder to show you what we actually do here. The algorithm does not favour this kind of work. It pushes other content instead. Visibility is down. Engagement has dropped. So a lot of what we do just isn’t reaching you anymore. And if I’m honest, I’m now second guessing what I post in case it gets flagged or suppressed which was never how this account worked before. I also can’t do what I’ve always done here, call things out, challenge what’s wrong and push to put it right So we’re building elsewhere If you want to see what we’re actually doing, follow us on Bluesky, Substack and YouTube. We will have a new social media manager from April onwards. I’m sorry it’s come to this. This has always been our platform, and you followed me because I never stayed quiet when something wasn’t right. I really hope things change on this platform

We are now forced to close intake and not help anymore cats until we find homes for the adoptable cats in our care. We literally have no more space and I'm having to say no to cats who will die without us. all these kittens are still here. Please share. 📍 SF Bay Area
🚨 SF BAY AREA it makes me very sad that we still have 8 perfect, healthy big kittens growing up mostly in an enclosure here at the rescue. They should be cuddling on someone's lap, zooming around, being happy babies. Soon they'll be a year old and still sitting here, waiting 💔

Are we doing something wrong 😪. With our donation posts not getting many views and donations trickling in even after much begging. We are not lying when we say we are in debt, we are really worried. Donate: gofund.me/08dec1578

Just look at these babies, rescued as they and their mom were going to be culled. They and so many more are safe with us but we need your help to keep the shelter running. Even after much begging we have not even hit the halfway target. Please donate 🙏🏼 gofund.me/19c1d5aa7

Please kind supporters help us to help the suffering street animals of Pakistan. We desperately need to achieve our target to clear debts and run the shelter. If just 745 supporters were to donate £10 then we would hit our target. We need your support 🙏🏼 gofundme.com/f/help-our-emer…
