I urge the DC Council to immediately pass emergency legislation to restore the extended juvenile curfew in Washington, DC. The absence of this vital tool is having a profound negative impact on both public safety and sense of safety in the District. We cannot afford further delay.

The @CivilRights is monitoring this terrible situation in San Diego and will coordinate with local and federal law enforcement partners as appropriate. @TheJusticeDept will not tolerate attacks on ANY house of worship in 🇺🇸 America.

If you're affected by the Simi Valley fires and need a safe place for your animal(s) while you figure out next steps, please email info@startswithonetoday.com.

Spencer posts a video of a fuel break working flawlessly. Big brains in the comments: "FUEL BREAKS DON'T WORK"! How do these fucking people even get their shoes on in the morning?

This is Skid Row.

If you’re not following @LoneStarChica pls follow her. She got the ball rolling on this & other cases. She really deserves more than just our follows

Why can a person not be allowed to see their dog when it’s going to court, he wasn’t accused of animal abuse, that would be a different story, this case really upsets me

We are still needing reposts to help #SaveLucy some dogs by circumstance or by temperament, or both, carve out a special place in our lives. obviously Lucy has done that for her family. Let’s keep the spotlight shining to #SaveLucy one of the lucky war dogs to find their home.

I had a new dog case ready to post today, but I’m going to hold off because I’m clearly shadow banned right now. In the meantime, I’ve got a little mini call center going at my house calling the Shenandoah County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office at (540) 459 6129 in support of #SaveLucy’s release. Thank you to everyone who has continued making calls and sending emails. I know it’s making a difference, so please keep the pressure on! @jonesbrendanm @Herb_Minstrel

I can’t look at this and not cry 😭 The people at the shelter are amazing—but this is so unfair! We miss her so much!!

Karen Bass is the worst leader I’ve ever seen. Nobody knew she was out of the country during the Palisades Fire. Nobody could order air tankers because her deputy mayor was under house arrest. Her LADWP chief didn’t know our reservoir was empty. Karen Bass is running an absolute CLOWN SHOW. Vote like your life depends on it! Cuz it does!

Pray for the Texas Panhandle 🙏

GIVE THIS VETERAN BACK HIS GODDAMN DOG!?!?!?!?!??

I once owned a music school. It was a thriving little place that employed several teachers and nearly 100 students. When COVID happened, we shut down for the initial “two weeks to flatten the curve.” Then I reopened. We offered online lessons. Families could choose masks if they wanted. My incredible teachers, from both sides of the political aisle, never stopped showing up to work. I became a publicly outspoken advocate against the illegal government mandates. I spoke up for the rights of small business-owners to remain open and run their businesses how they saw fit without fear of government interference or being shut down for “noncompliance” But student attendance never truly recovered. I kept that school open far longer than I should have from a financial standpoint. But I was not going to roll over while the government destroyed small businesses, livelihoods, the arts, and people’s sense of normal through fear, pressure, and overreach. That experience fundamentally changed me. And it’s exactly why I refuse to quietly accept what is happening with our dog Lucy. When the government oversteps, acts unjustly, and attempts to destroy the lives people have worked so hard to build, I fight. I will not be bullied or intimidated by the government, or by petty neighbors who think they should have the right to dictate how my family should live. This isn’t about rebellion, stubbornness, or me being “out of touch,” as one neighbor texted me. This is about standing against powers that overstep and bullies who attempt to rule through fear, pressure, and intimidation. It’s about teaching our children that it is not only acceptable, but right, to stand up for yourself—especially when there is a much larger principle at stake. This is about preserving freedoms, exposing the holes in laws and systems that can be weaponized against ordinary families, and fighting to ensure future generations still have the privilege of pursuing the American dream and the rights that come with it. Lucy, that scraggly, beautiful pearl from the desert who became our family’s protector and guardian of our flocks has become a symbol of something far bigger than herself. Watching people rally around our family and this cause has been a hopeful reminder that Americans still stand up for what is just and worth protecting. I truly believe something meaningful and beautiful will come from it. We just want our dog back. We just want to live in peace. And now, we want to prevent others from suffering as we have. #savelucy

Wolves in Yellowstone didn't eat their way through the elk herd so much as they changed where elk stood, pushing them off the meadows and onto steep slopes where they could escape predation but ended up starving in winters that used to be manageable.

While Karen Bass is worried about getting meth-heads new grills, the LAFD has 3 dozen LESS firefighters than we had when the Palisades Fire hit. Folks, you need to vote like your life depends on it, because it does.

VCFD PIO says how a quick reflex time for copters to a water source is so critical in the firefight. This is what went wrong in the Palisades: Karen Bass drained our reservoir, and instead of 30 second load-and-returns, copters had to fly miles away for water, & the fire escaped

Took Lucy treats. Couldn't see her. One of the ladies took a video of her. She sent it to me along with the following message: "Praying for a positive outcome soon for Lucy! 🙏" These people are heroes. God bless them. But I want my dog back. #SaveLucy @Herb_Minstrel
