With dogs in the news, and handling of behavioral issues, I thought I'd talk about our experience with difficult dog breeds. Namely: the Siberian husky. And not just any huskies: every one of ours are behavioral surrenders. 1/n
We've been talking about the Republican rejection of democracy for a while now, but to see and hear them explicitly state it is still unnerving.
I don’t speak on behalf of my university, but it is important to seize a teachable moment. Peaceful protest to express your political beliefs is a fundamental right of American democracy. Conduct that harms others crosses the line of free speech. Regardless of your views,…
Media aren’t taking the deep dive we need into Heritage Foundation's 900+ page Project 2025. Authored by Trump's cronies, it gives a frightening picture of the MAGA agenda. For example, the section on Dept of Labor shows the plan to eliminate all protections for the LGBTQ+. /1
Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, and speaker of the house, Mike Johnson, both publicly admitted to conferring with Donald Trump to obstruct placing bills on the floor for a vote. Who else demands their immediate expulsion from office?🤚🤚🤚
Important read for ALL Americans.
Important read for ALL Americans.
BREAKING: New reports show that CIA agents were killed, captured, or compromised because Hunter Biden sold their names to our enemies. Now that I got Republicans’ attention. That was actually Donald Trump.
Do you want January 6 insurrectionists winning elections? Because we have seven of them running now: Anthony Kern - AZ Jacob Chansley - AZ Kimberly Dragoo - MO Michele Morrow - NC Jason Riddle - NH Katrina Pierson - TX Derrick Evans - WV Spread the word.
I can't believe I even have to say this, but it is not normal that the Supreme Court is taking its sweet time to decide if the president can incite an insurrection to overturn an election and maintain power. This should have been decided already. The answer is no!
I know that it was overshadowed by Trump's lawyers arguing that presidents should be able to murder political opponents, but I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas hearing a case related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.
The public performance by Justice Jackson, pushing back against GOP SCOTUS refusal to support rule of law, demonstrates the critical importance of diversity on SCOTUS. It should be easy to observe, the women on the court are the ONLY ones asking the critical questions!

@smc429 And he still has a job. It's inexplicable. #NoJusticeInAmerica Did the rich buy everything?
Kavanaugh is a Justice? Kennedy resigned early, Republicans agreed to an FBI Investigation and Wray turned over 4500 Kavanaugh tips to TRUMP and told the Senate that the investigation "went by the book." Is by the book turning over the facts of an investigation over to someone…
I can't find any evidence Bill Barr is currently employed. If anyone can advise that he has a job it would be much appreciated. Imagine a two-time US Attorney General being unemployed? Perhaps we should just stop giving him the coverage he clearly desires.
This entire ad by the North America Building Trade Unions (@NABTU) endorsing President Biden and exposing Trump’s lies is worth a watch
American democracy ends if Trump becomes president. That’s why we started the Stop Trump Dictatorship Project. To market hard-hitting, low cost, opinion-shifting ads to uninformed voters in swing states while they watch other videos on YouTube. Join us!

If you want a deep dive into how dogs evolved to be companions to humans, and how Huskies are genetically one of the breeds closest to the wolves they evolved from, I wrote about it for @damemagazine damemagazine.com/2022/06/16/dog…
Also, if you want to know more about owning, I mean living with, a husky, I wrote about it here: brynntannehill.medium.com/17-things-you-…
Anyway, thanks for sitting through my kids and pets slide show. Give your furry friends some love and attention. As for me, I'll be spending my evening with my three mildly brain-damaged derpwolf housemates. 15/n
It's also taught our kids to treat animals with respect. Some people don't like hugs. Some dogs don't like it either (Thor). Respect that. But they're also family members: when Loki tore his ACL we put it on credit card and would figure it out later. 14/n
Which brings me back to Noem. For all the mayhem (and occasional dead possums and squirrels) these furry maniacs cause, it never once occurred to me to shoot them in the ****ing face. Like, never. Even when they've nearly gotten us in trouble with their issues. 13/n
I'm also sharing it because we work with dogs that people abandoned for behavioral issues, and that many professional dog trainers won't even waste their time on. We know a little bit about difficult dogs. 12/n
All of this is a very long winded introduction into my belief that pets are for life. We introduce our children to the cycles of life with them, along with empathy and responsibility. When you bring a pet into your home, it's a commitment to do everything you can for them. 11/n
But, he's a little like a special needs kid: you just have to accept his limitations, and don't put him in situations where he can't fail catastrophically. Set him up to succeed, make him feel safe and comfortable, and he'll be enforcing the cheese tax in no time. 10/n
Thor has been the hardest. We did what we could: kids in controlled environments don't bother him, but we wouldn't let him loose with a pack of cub scouts the way we would with Luna. We keep him away from small dogs. Prey drive is just too high. 9/n
We got Luna to stop searching for food on the counter by watching her, and changing our own behaviors (less food on counters). We did "return" exercises so she comes back if she gets loose. We got her to wait for her food, and then to slow down. We haven't had binging again 8/n
In some cases, we were able to break the bad habits. Loki is just about the best dog I've owned at this point. We got him as a puppy, and his habits were less ingrained. Training him to wait on the food, and getting used to "reaches" worked. 7/n
With every one of these dogs we had to work on their individual issues one at a time with patience and a gentle heart. With dogs that are already abused / neglected / desocialized, playing dominance games is a BAD idea. 6/n
Just about any dog trainer will tell you huskies are one of the breeds they will never own. They're just too difficult, stubborn, and unmotivated by play or treats. They were built to do one thing: pull very hard on a line for HOURS. 5/n youtube.com/shorts/NO2P5y5…
Luna. We were the second rehome. She'd been stuck in a crate constantly. Chewed off the end of her own tail. Behavioral issues: climbed on counters. Food guarding / uncontrollable eating. High prey drive. Escape artist. Upside: Great with kids / chaos. Submissive to people. 4/n
