People keep asking, so I've got to answer. No, I don't anticipate going to jail. We learned at the hearing that the deal I signed did not result in the prosecution dropping the charges. It simply deferred them for 12 months and let me bring Lucy home. The Commonwealth Attorney retained prosecutorial discretion, meaning she can try to charge me again, drop charges, or reduce charges. All things are on the table. I didn't like it. I thought I was agreeing to have charges dropped in a year, but I had no choice but to agree to the deal, even according to the new terms. I had to get Lucy out of there. I can envision a scenario where 12 months pass and the prosecution decides to get charges to stick against me out of the light of public scrutiny. I can also envision a scenario where the prosecutor just wants this to go away and drops them. I cannot imagine that the judge would send me to jail at that point over an incident that occurred entirely within my own yard and was over in seconds, so for the time being, anyone talking like that's a fait accompli needs to cool their jets a bit. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Yes, that was my reason for feeling a sense of disquiet mingled with my relief at getting Lucy home. I wanted the threat of jail time to no longer be hanging over my head. I've gotten so accustomed to facing charges that carry jail time since we moved here, that I'm just so worn out by it. But it was not to be. I've had a security clearance for two decades now. I haven't been using it actively for a while. I'm not doing anymore overseas tours. I work from home now on my own private sector business, which gives me the chance to spend time with those I love the most. I've always kept that clearance in my back pocket though, as a security blanket if things ever go sideways economically. After all the warzone tours and hardship, it would be a shame to risk losing that over a brief collar slip in my own yard, a weaponized technicality if ever there was one. I'm not going to dwell on it. It is out of my hands now. I encourage everyone who has supported me and Lucy to let this go too. Just pray for outright dismissal. If things change, I will let you know. On to the next: #SaveSnuggles

๐Ÿพ JUSTICE FOR MAMA MAISIE ๐Ÿพ On Wednesday, June 10, Mama Maisie was walking near Hawkes Pond in Saugus, Massachusetts, when an unknown man approached, picked her up and ran into a heavily wooded area. Her foster mom chased him and called 911, but he disappeared. Police, volunteers and strangers searched for Maisie for hours. Flyers were shared, businesses checked surveillance footage and social media helped spread the word. The next evening, they received the devastating news that Maisie had been found deceased in a pond. Maisie had already survived cruelty before being rescued, yet she still loved and trusted people. Saugus Police are actively investigating. A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person responsible. Someone knows what happened. Please share and help us get justice for Maisie. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธโค๏ธ๐ŸŒˆ #JusticeForMaisie

Following Denizโ€™s tragic death, Ryderโ€™s Law is being reintroduced. New York City โ€” this is the moment. To recap, on Tuesday, a 16-year-old carriage horse named Deniz collapsed and died in Central Park while still attached to the carriage. The union says he was examined by a vet in March and found fit for duty. He will now be taken to Cornell University to determine what happened. Deniz is the second carriage horse to die in Central Park in less than ten months. A bill called Ryderโ€™s Law โ€” named after that 2022 horse โ€” would have banned horse-drawn carriages in New York City and replaced them with electric alternatives. But that bill was defeated. What do you think about horse-drawn carriages? Would you like to see Ryderโ€™s Law passed?

Almost 4 years ago, @peta delivered our wonderful Maxine to us at the end of a long road trip, after 10 years in a backyard pen. Thank you for watching out for her through those outdoor years, advocating for her and bringing her to her happy home!

This is one of PETA's biggest rescues of the entire year! These sweet dogs were among the many animals trapped at High Quality Research. With help from @kindnessranch, they'reโ€ฏgoing on a road trip with PETA to meet their new families and to PETAโ€™s HQ โœจ

Ag gag laws make it illegal to expose widespread animal abuse in farms & slaughterhouses, & violate our Charter rights as Canadians. We're disappointed that the Ontario Court of Appeal reinstated the province's dangerous ag gag lawโ€”& our lawyers are exploring every legal avenue to keep fighting. thestar.com/opinion/contribuโ€ฆ

It is one of the last pre-statehood wood-frame residential structures standing in central Phoenix, listed on the Phoenix Historic Property Register since 1990. Robert Young, 88 years old, has owned it and called it home for 50 years. On May 22, the Arizona Board of Regents โ€” the governing body of Arizona State University โ€” filed a condemnation lawsuit in Maricopa County Superior Court seeking โ€œimmediate possessionโ€ of Youngโ€™s property. Under Arizona eminent domain law, the university can compel the sale regardless of whether Young agrees. Young had already turned down their offers. ๐’๐จ ๐€๐’๐” ๐ฐ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ญ. The universityโ€™s position: they made โ€œseveral offersโ€ to purchase, including an option to physically relocate the structure. Their final offer was $850,000, based on a state-certified appraisal of the 833-square-foot home and its 4,642-square-foot lot. ASUโ€™s written statement says the offers were fair and that Youngโ€™s rejection was his alone. Youngโ€™s answer: relocating a 124-year-old wood-frame historic building is prohibitively expensive, the home cannot simply be picked up and replicated, and no dollar figure replaces 50 years of ownership. What ASUโ€™s lawyers do not address: why this specific prestate landmark needs to be demolished rather than preserved or designed around. ASU already operates more than fifteen campuses and satellite centers across the Phoenix metro area. It has options. ๐‘๐จ๐›๐ž๐ซ๐ญ ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐  ๐ก๐š๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž. The university that preaches sustainability and community stewardship is now using the full coercive power of the state to force an 88-year-old man out of a pre-statehood landmark โ€” because it can, and because the new ASU Health headquarters can go there instead. The building has survived for 124 years. It outlasted every government that tried to tell Robert Young what his property was worth. ASUโ€™s lawyers filed the paperwork on May 22 and asked for immediate possession. That is the offer. ๐‘๐จ๐›๐ž๐ซ๐ญ ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐  ๐ก๐š๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐Ÿ“๐ŸŽ ๐ฒ๐ž๐š๐ซ๐ฌ; ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž ๐ก๐š๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’. ๐๐ž๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐š๐œ๐ญ ๐š๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ž๐š๐ซ๐ฌ ๐š๐ง๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐ข๐ง ๐€๐’๐”โ€™๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ.
