Doodles arent cute or purebred.
There's already a breed for that.
Small dogs need training too.
Feed the dog in front of you.
Used correctly, prong collars and stim collars aren't abuse.

Fact: Undocumented immigrants can’t buy ACA coverage.
Republicans know this.
They're lying to distract from the fact that they voted to kick 15 million Americans off health coverage, including their own constituents.

Just so I'm clear.
The shooter was opposed to ICE enough to write "ANTI-ICE" on a bullet (a phrasing I've not heard before), but not enough to actually aim for ICE agents or tell his brother about it.
Or to even use the bullet that he marked?

Autism is not caused by acetaminophen or vaccines. And even if it was, who cares? I'd rather my child be saved from childhood diseases and still be alive. We aren't some nasty condition that needs to be cured. We're a different neurotype.
