Front page of the @nytimes today. Thank you, NYT, Dave Philipps, and Erin Schaff for bringing government-sanctioned animal cruelty to national attention.
Wild horses captured in Nevada. When the gate closes, dozens of horses are trapped shoulder-to-shoulder inside a metal enclosure; then panic erupts. There is nowhere to go but up. It is a great disgrace the horses are slautered. Stop this
@realDonaldTrump
The New South Wales Government is going to shoot Australian wild brumby horses starting tomorrow 6am Monday 24th August through Friday 28th, in Yuraygir National Park. They will be mass shooting the animals from helicopters. These horses do not always die immediately, and dependent foals can be left without their mothers.
Over 7,000 wild horses have already been killed through aerial shooting in Kosciuszko National Park. Now aerial shooting is being used against horses in Yuraygir, all in the name of protecting the “environment”.
If the NSW Government actually cared so deeply about protecting the environment, why is it facilitating 15 proposed data centre projects worth almost $52 billion, despite the enormous electricity and water demands associated with data centres?
What about trapping and rehoming these horses? Many locals who live alongside them dispute the extent of the environmental damage being attributed to these animals.
Where is the recent, publicly available, independent and transparent evidence showing the current extent of environmental damage specifically caused by the horses in Yuraygir? And where is the evidence showing that shooting them from helicopters is necessary instead of pursuing non lethal alternatives?
Some people will argue that wild horses can impact ecosystems. This does not automatically mean aerial shooting is the only, or the right, solution. In my opinion, this is awful and inhumane.
There are better ways to manage these beautiful animals than shooting them from the sky.
Shame on you @PennySharpemlc@ChrisMinnsMP@ParksAreGreat
This administration is rounding up and selling America’s wild horses to foreign slaughterhouses for $25 apiece.
Call your elected officials today and demand that they END THE DEPORTATION AND SLAUGHTER OF AMERICA’S WILD HORSES.
There's much to say about the @RealCandaceO@paleochristcon debate, but this is perhaps the most significant.
Candace is inextricably connected to this case on a soul level. It has meaning beyond Tyler Robinson, another nation, the feds and certainly more than money, clicks or fame.
Andrew has no connection to this case; the outcome really doesn't matter much to him one way or the other.
Many people dislike Candace for her stance on one thing or the other and this case became a convenient weapon to club her with in order to discredit her entirely.
If you hate her for her stance on Israel, for example, you would try to destroy her credibility on this case as a method of negating her opinions as a whole.
Andrew saw an opportunity to pile-on to somebody catching lots of heat and be the savior. He could defend Erika, be the hero and take the "appeal to authority" position.
He thought his debate expertise would be sufficient even with limited knowledge of the case.
Yet, he underestimated how much deep meaning and soulful care can carry a person through a mismatch of skill.
This is how people succeed against all odds. This is how a mother can develop superhuman strength to lift a car off a baby trapped underneath. It defies logic, but it happens. It's called "hysterical strength."
Candace has a view of this case in a way nobody else could understand. Anyone else in her shoes might go crazy seeing the lies, the deception, the propaganda, the holes.. day after day.
She can't control what's happening so she did the one thing she could do, she started making noise. She turned on the camera and put her everything into figuring it out.
It's a pressure on her soul.
It's as clear to me as it was at the beginning: what she wants is the truth - even if it proves she's been wrong all along.
Remember, the alternative would be to do nothing at all.
I'd bet, she couldn't live with herself if she didn't at least try.
We'd all be lucky to have a friend like her.
@burgh8_fox@scrowder@paleochristcon@TPUSA Same! I had such respect for him, especially his claims to be a man of God. I don't see any of that anymore. I just see a washed up comedian that shills for Trump while his followers struggle. I feel bad for him honestly.
The coolest thing about being an American right now is if I pay my taxes I'm not paying for better infrastructure, roads, or social services. I'm paying for some guy across the ocean to shoot a kid in the head with a sniper rifle. Oh, and I'm paying for his health care too.

That’s adorable. 😂🎤 Don’t worry here’s Charlie in his own words .
Let’s refresh that memory… again. 🍿
@RealBroNat We live here in N Idaho and would love to take you to lunch or coffee. Everytime I see you I cant stop because traffic is crazy. I was raised Lutheran and my husband Calvinist. We have both left the church, as our spirits have led us elsewhere, but miss the body of Christ.
