Donatello is an older #wildmustang, though you can’t tell by the way he runs! He went thru five adopters, countless trainers, starvation, seizure by law enforcement, and a couple rescues before finding lifelong #sanctuary at #Skydog. He’s part of a growing #herd of wild boys who love their freedom.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…
