It is so obvious to me at least that this criminal of that big proportions needs to be sent to a home for the criminal insane. Simple as that ! It's the only humane, fair and just think to do! But he should absolutely not be allowed to run for office or conduct business because he's a f* fraudster and a tracer and unindicted domestic terrorist! Duh

Great stuff man ♂️Why is he almost the only Republican to speak out against diaper Donald's lawlessness? KEEP IN MIND PEOPLE: diaper Donald said he will terminate the Constitution!!!!!! SAY NO MORE THAT IS DISQUALIFYING seditious statement THEY SHOULDN'T be there! The Republicans are all insurrectionists and should have been not sworn in in the first place but Nancy pelosi never said a word about it He got rid of almost all the writers and reporters who would dare to say anything critical of him. Plus, he is a media wizard

What we know YouTube channel! This is a great show you're in for a treat! Apparently new interpretations of ancient texts of #India, the #Vedas are saying that like a million years ago there was an advanced atlantean civilization across the world, based in what is now the Arctic. Then, we hear an excellent summer and analysis of Zoroastrianism perhaps one of the most ancient religions in the world. It is monotheistic and nature, with the belief of many Divine entities. Highly ethical, with the focus on right speech, right thoughts and right action- which is a lot like Buddhism actually. Each person is responsible for living life on the right path, and are judged in the afterlife by their actions during their lifetime. Someone who led a deceitful life gets the thinner bridge to walk in the afterlife, and much more likely to fall into eternal punishment. Hell in #Zoroastrianism is called the House of lies. Humata- good thoughts hukhta- good words hvareshta - Good deeds. "A veritable opponent of the evildoer but a powerful friend of the goods, am I". Saoshyant - is a savior like figure; when he comes it is a frashokeveti - world's becoming fresh again, perfect world of Harmony and order. Fire and water worship. That dude is like the vampire of the legal world! Don't seem to matter what crime he commits, he got an antichrist-like ability to evade prison time! Very disturbing. Let's hope loss of his empire will be stake in his heart, but I doubt it! Today's grift? bobbleheads and sneakers. The stake will be DISQUALIFICATION

African-American singing country music like #beyonce is not cultural appropriation! The original cowboys were black. Also a lot of the early cowboy music was taken from hymns of black ministers in the South. Matt Gates maybe censured and removed for having paid a women for sex at a drug orgy of Republicans! She's got the text messages and receipts LOL #mtg might be censured as well. That dude is like the vampire of the legal world!

To PACC Director Monica Dangler 4000 North Silverbell Tucson Arizona 85745 DEAR MONICA: DID YOU KNOW ONE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES CLARISSA LEYVA-CANEZ #3124, HAS BEEN TORTURING ANIMALS??? AND CLARISSA PERJURED HERSELF UNDER OATH, ON THE STAND ON TUESDAY WHILE I WAS QUESTIONING HER DURING MY ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE HEARING AT THE JUSTICE COURT? & WE ARE PRESSING CHARGES AGAINST HER, YOU AND P A C C, & Pima Sheriff's; FOR THAT AND OTHER CRIMES; INCLUDING FALSE REPORTING THAT LED TO THE UNLAWFUL AND CRIMINAL SEIZURE FROM MY PROPERTY AUGUST 30, 845 A.M.; & THAT YOU, YOUR AGENCY AND THIS EMPLOYEE ARE FACING APPROXIMATELY 150 COUNTS OF ANIMAL CRUELTY FOR THIS HORRIFIC INCIDENT? AND WE HAVE A MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE TO PROVE OUR CLAIMS? THATS A LOT OF CRIMING! AS RETIRED MEDIA WORKER, I'M ALERTING THE PRESS TO THIS HORRIFIC CASE OF ANIMAL CRUELTY ON YOUR PART, HOPING NATIONAL MEDIA WILL BRING ATTENTION TO THIS SITUATION, HELP US GET RID OF SOME BAD APPLES IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND STREAMLINE & MAKE HUMANE THE PROCESS BY WHICH ANIMALS ARE TAKEN AWAY FROM THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS IN FUTURE! CURRENTLY REQUESTING ACLU TAKE OUR CASE AS AN IMPORTANT PRECEDENT FOR ENSURING LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTUALLY MUST RESPECT CIVIL RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN WHILE ON DUTY! WE ARE PRESSING CHARGES AGAINST YOU, YOUR AGENCY AND THIS EMPLOYEE #3124 FOR: FALSE REPORTING ARS 13-2907.01 PIMA SHERIFFS COMPLAINT CASE #231019291 ANIMAL CRUELTY ARS 13-2910; APPROX.152 COUNTS! ASKING MAXIMUM PUNITIVE DAMAGES FOR YOUR CRIMES AGAINST OUR ANIMALS! DEFAMATION, OF WHICH WE ARE SEEKING MAXIMUM DAMAGES! Your employee Clarissa LEYVA-CANEZ, #3124, against whom we ALREADY reported her misconduct to you SEVERAL TIMES NOW; PERJURED HERSELF ON TUESDAY THE 24TH AT ABOUT 3:30 P.M. AND WE ARE PRESSING CHARGES! Clarisse Leyva-Canez was CAUGHT LYING in court, under oath, & I proved conclusively---and I challenge media to get copies of the recording from this hearing! & guarantee it's very entertaining LOL -- I PROVED CONCLUSIVELY THAT CLARISSA FABRICATED HER REPORTS - They were "riddled with false and misleading statements"- that led to TRAGIC SUFFERING & unlawful seizure of approximately 150 of our animals on private property, Aug 30 8:45 a.m. Further, Clarissa knew from Deputy Hanna's search on chameleon: there were absolutely no hoarding cruelty etc complaints associated with my address. Clarissa should have dropped the case at that point, BUT SHE DIDN'T! WHY? WE DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION. FURTHER, Clarissa viewed the body of my poor Hankie 8/25, read and reported on the vet's medical records, which clearly state: Hank was there for treatment of a pigbite, his tumor-like wound was a "dermal mass"-- NOT "his intestines hanging out", a claim part of the PATENTLY FALSE REPORTING BY two women in initial PATENTLY FALSE reports: Zoe Skinner and Beth Cummings, against whom we filed charges of FALSE REPORTING ARS 13 - 2907.01 Clarissa should have seen the obvious incongruities between false initial reports by Beth and Zoe; and SHOULD HAVE DETERMINED THE VERACITY of the situation by comparing the vet's report and my/our truthful reporting on Hank's injuries. Clarissa should have recognized the Beth and Zoe's reports were FALSE! & Dropped the case, BUT SHE DIDN'T! WHY? WE DEMAND AN IN INVESTIGATION! Clarissa knew from the vet's report that I, Trista, m Hank's owner. ZOE LIED to the vet claiming I relinquished Hank to her, but I didn't! Hank was put down without my consent, but that is another story. Clarissa not only failed to intervene on our behalf, she escalated the situation! If Clarissa were a competent investigator, she would have seen the huge discrepancies between Beth's & Zoe's false reports and hank's actual condition! Beth and Zoe said Hank had his "intestines hanging out!"- a Salacious description that made it into headlines across the world! Clarissa also should have determined Zoe and Beth were lying, because he was not "infested with maggots"! The vet r

“Let's ensure that we're starting the conversation from that place of all of the things we have in common and real compassion and understanding for why community members might be confused around these issues.” This episode is sponsored in part by CARE, Doobert, and Maddie's Fund. In this episode, Stacy converses with Caitlin Quinn, who has been the Director of Operations for HeARTs Speak since 2015. HeARTs Speak develops resources that help shelter animals to be seen and find homes, ultimately transforming public perceptions of pet adoption, shelters, and animals in need. Caitlin discusses her role and shares the backstory of how she got involved in marketing. She highlights some of the communication challenges present in the community cat field and explains how those involved in the community cat field are often largely unaware that these problems exist. She conveys the importance of communication with others in the community that aren't involved in caring for the community cats. “We're so close to the issue that sometimes we're forgetting to back out of it a little bit and have those more basic understanding conversations.” Caitlin talks about social media campaigns; she emphasizes the need to start with baby steps and to be repetitive with your messages. She also shares her thoughts on the best strategies, platforms, graphic design tools (Canva), and scheduling tools (PLANOLY and Later) for social media, as well as on how frequently and the type of content you should be posting. Caitlin also sheds some light on what the social media algorithm is and provides an abundance of helpful hints that are bound to help any person or organization looking to bolster their social media game and reach more of their community.

Interview! Karen Hollish, Director of Development and Marketing, Pima Animal Care Center “The community cats project has not only helped us save outdoor community cats; it’s helped us provide a better experience for the cats inside our shelters.” Karen Hollish is the director of development and marketing at Pima Animal Care Center. In March 2014, she started a development program for the government-run, open-admission shelter in Pima County, Arizona. The program was hugely successful: she raised millions of dollars through fundraising initiatives, and the shelter started to take in about 24,000 pets per year with a save rate of around 70%! In a state like Arizona where pet overpopulation is a big problem and kitten season lasts virtually all year round, this is a huge accomplishment. Pima Animal Care Center has managed to raise its save rate to 90% thanks to its community cat program, and it also has a unique kitten program for people with dementia and other memory issues. While the kitten is socialized, the patients receive all the health benefits of close contact with animals, including unexpected remembrances of beloved family pets! To learn more about Pima Animal Care Center (and to watch inspiring videos of dementia patients interacting with kittens), please visit facebook.com/pimaanimalcare.
