Right before the holidays, a beloved member of El Portal's police force was removed from duty without official explanation, causing an uproar in the tiny village. (THREAD) hrld.us/2QkG74Y
Rather than barking, biting, or sniffing, the Siberian Husky's role was more therapeutic. One of Arctic's assignments: hanging out with the kids at a local middle school. They didn’t even get to say goodbye before his service was terminated.
When asked about Arctic's abrupt dismissal, the village manager said his gig with police never officially existed. But emails obtained by the @MiamiHerald indicate otherwise.

So I’m gonna be sharing a personal story today. When I was in high school, my family and I went on vacation in Morocco. We went to experience the culture, try new food, and visit historical sites. We thought it was going to be just like any ordinary vacation, until it wasn’t.
On my family’s second day in Morocco, we went to visit an orphanage in Meknes, where my aunt was just adopting her infant child. We were overjoyed to welcome a new cousin into our family.
As we were leaving, one of the staff members asked if we’d be interested in sponsoring an older child’s education. We wanted to help in any way we could, so of course, we agreed.

It's the night before thanksgiving. It's cold and wet outside. #CampFire evacuees are still bracing the elements and looking for shelter. Here are some images I'd like to share some images from my time exploring the Chico Walmart parking lot, a temporary refuge for some.
Folks like Sarah, Martin and James, from Magalia, have made the most out of their circumstance. A parking spot was their living room. They set up a propane heater (which was stolen in the middle of the night later) and a television to watch the latest news on the #CampFire.
Brenda Wilson tried very hard to keep her dog Scooby warm. The dog was shivering. She slept in the car. She was cold herself. She was distraught and wanted to go home. When I spoke to her, she had no idea if her home survived the #CampFire.

Continuing my thread from yesterday...
SCANDAL #4
When Rick Scott became Governor in January of 2010, he began a campaign to privatize 30 South Florida prisons and hired Edwin Buss as the Secretary of the Florida Department of Corrections.
“It was one of the most aggressive private prison expansions in the history of the United states, maybe the most aggressive,” Edwin Buss said. While governor, Rick Scott has been through 5 Secretaries of the Florida Department of Corrections (FDOC).
Rick Scott also wanted to privatize the health care services of inmates. He hired Elizabeth Gondles to oversee it, but she had to resign over a conflict of interest: her husband was married to the head of the only organization that accredits prison medical services in the nation.
