@MissiforMO Happened in Independence, Mo also, two for data center were eligible to be voted out and were, and the pro data center mayoral candidate lost big.
This little girl from Ridglan doesn't understand freedom yet. She's confused by open space after life in a cage.
But she already understands love. They all do. And love is exactly what she and the 2000 other pups are going to get!
Fuck the LAPD. How do you respond to a noise complaint with 20 cops and a helicopter for a NOISE COMPLAINT???? And then kill the woman’s doodle in front of her and her child all because he came to see who was at the door. A dog that has no reputation of being hostile.. just sick
There are comments here giving the police the benefit of the doubt like we didn’t just see a cop lie about seeing a woman text while driving with the right hand she did not have.
Run free, Jameson. Across the Rainbow Bridge, where there is no fear, no pain, and no suffering, only endless fields to explore and the love you carried with you from home 🌈🐾

A father takes his two young daughters into an empty women's restroom during a road trip because they need to go. A stranger starts yelling, calls the police...
Who was actually in the wrong here?
Protecting your children or enforcing restroom rules at all costs?
Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.
The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.
What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.
Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.
In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.
A noise complaint about a dog barking ends with that dogs death.
How does this happen @LAPDHQ@MayorOfLA
Your officer's killed a doodle.
All 20 officers need to be investigated, why was a helicopters dispatched for a barking noise complaint.
Want to talk about excessive force?

💔 LAPD killed a woman’s dog during a welfare check, all because she was yelling in her own apartment celebrating the Knicks’ Finals win. Then they just stand there over the body like it’s nothing. Absolute madness.
BREAKING: Big Dog Ranch Rescue tells me it’s negotiated an agreement for the permanent closure of Ridglan Farms and the transfer of 475 remaining beagles.
325 dogs will be transferred out of Ridglan to BDRR today and tomorrow.
Remaining 150 released by beginning of August.
Ridglan is closing down, and all the dogs should soon be freed! I just posted this to our rescuer network.
This would not have happened without our supporters on social media. Y'all were a key part of this—and will be a key part of the victories to come!
