Puerto Rico has far more rescue animals than can be adopted by the local population, and being an island it's much harder to transport them to other rescues with more space or even who already have an adopter lined up for the animal. It's not feasible for volunteers to regularly transport them.

If you are visiting PR, you can sign up to escort a cat or small dog on your return flight. A volunteer meets you at the departure airport with the animal in a carrier, and another meets you at arrival to pick them up. It's a very easy process since PR is a US territory. The rescue pays for any costs associated with bringing the animal as a carry on, and you get an adorable travel buddy.

This is a little guy named Halo that I escorted a few years ago 🥲 I still think about him and am so happy I got to help him to his new life.

NEW ORLEANS – A controversial new state law that creates criminal penalties for local law enforcement officers who do not fully cooperate with federal immigration investigations is set to go into effect next month, putting the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office in a legal quagmire.

For more than a decade, under a legal settlement in a federal civil rights case, the sheriff’s office, which runs the New Orleans jail, has maintained a policy that places tight restrictions on how its employees can interact with federal immigration authorities.

But beginning on Aug. 1, under Act 399 of 2025, Orleans Parish deputies who follow that policy could be charged with committing a felony and face up to 10 years in prison. On the other hand, if the sheriff’s office goes against the policy and obeys the new state law, it risks violating a longstanding federal court settlement.

Bruce Reilly, deputy director of New Orleans criminal justice reform group Voice Of The Experienced, called the new law an example of government “overreach.”

“I think the legal question may be, ‘Can the state pass a law that forces people to be deputized by federal agencies?’” Reilly said.

The UK is testing their phone alert alarm system again and all 4G / 5G phones will sound a loud siren alert for 10 seconds - even if on silent. This will happen at 3pm Sunday 7th September 2025.

If you have a hidden phone for an emergency, e.g. in case of domestic abuse, and don't want the location given away, or if you're expecting to be driving at this time and don't want to be distracted, you need to mute it.

Ich weiß gar nicht, was die sich immer alle so einscheißen. Der Wachdienst kann mir bis zu dem Punkt, wo ich an der Kasse vorbeigehe rein gar nichts und wird entsprechend auch nichts machen außer mir beim einkaufen zuzuschauen, was mir herzlichst egal ist. Außerdem nehme ich für das bisschen, was ich kaufen wollte keinen Einkaufskorb sondern die Tasche meines Ziehübers.

Trump is probably on the list, so he has to protect that. The Democrats had it during their entire presidency; even if they didn't want turmoil during their time in office, they could have released it after their presidential defeat and before Trump took office.
