Would you fall for this? My youngest kiddo thought she was getting a special #kitten. They just stole $550 of her money and then blocked her on #PayPal without providing the kitten. She spent all day yesterday crying over her lost savings. I didn’t know about it until it was too late. Turns out they have similar sites for #puppies, #birds and #reptiles -all #scammer sites.

Caveat emptor. Do not buy #pets from unverified online sellers!

Happy #Caturday for all who celebrate! The Dude and myself enjoying a nice morning outdoors in the gazebo before the rains arrive.

By the way, a tax of up to 5% on the world’s multi-millionaires and billionaires could raise $1.7 trillion/year.

That would be enough to lift 2 billion people out of poverty and fund a global plan to end hunger.

We can't afford NOT to tax the rich.

We need to stop just pulling people out of the river.
We need to go upstream and find out why they're falling in.

@Hey_Beth @alfredo_liberal

It's kind of like they're causing little fires here and there to rile up Americans into partisanship and tribalism. They are attacking the social fabric of America everyday constantly.

Bigotry is still effective. We need to keep the pressure against it forever.

Saying women can’t choose to have abortions unless we’re raped is telling us we don’t EARN autonomy over our own bodies until a man violates it.

The former guy is right … if they can come after him they can come after you.

But first, you have to commit multiple crimes, in multiple states that include rape, tax evasion, the theft of top secret documents, multiple incidents of obstruction of Justice, election meddling, inciting violence, money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the United States.

SO TRUE
