All credit to @misterwigger for alerting me.

Anyone who knows anything about animals already know Squirrels do not carry rabies.

This is an example of the INTENTIONAL bureaucracy of NYC.

They are killing innocent animals in order to collect over-time.

I will not sit by and allow them to waste HUNDREDDS of THOUSANDS of dollars to euthanize an innocent pet squirrel.

They also stole his raccoon, @SpookFatigue.

I CAN ONLY ASSUME THE RACCOON WILL BE EUTHANIZED NEXT.

Are you also going to sit idly while they euthanize innocent mammals, what if that happens to you or your pets next.

Shame on the state of New York.

Shame on the bloated, mismanaged, evil, corrupt, immune-to-prosecution State of New York.

Shohei Ohtani, God of Japan and greatest baseball player of all time had just won the world series when he was asked to interview Fuji TV, a much maligned Japanese TV network. He declined and had his people shoo them away and took another interview with NHK, the Japanese public broadcasting service. The backstory behind this is Fuji TV being guilty of multiple actions that constitute as stalking Ohtani to capitalize on the Babe Ruth level media frenzy in Japan.

Incident 1: Fuji TV reporters reveal the location and address of Ohtani's new mansion and pester his neighbors

Incident 2: The reporter in particular that Ohtani is glaring at is the same one that had just taken a photo of his car

In response to these incidents, Fuji TV had it's broadcast license for the Nippon Series (japanese pro baseball) revoked. They also had their Dodgers press pass revoked.

>It's a matter of life and death if we can't use any of Otani's interviews or footage.He is a superstar that Japan is proud of, and when we feature him, the numbers are good.It would be a shame to have this content blocked." (TV station insider)

Today is a heavy day.  We’re concerned with the anti-trans bills that were tabled today.

I'd put him on a watch list, as it's weird for a single Muslim man to care so much.

TLDR: They have a cap of 3,000 medical students per year. Of course letting immigrants in to do anything but the dirtiest jobs is unthinkable. So with an aging population (especially in poorly-served rural areas) the number of doctors is kept artificially low to reduce competition. That's pretty insane to begin with, but it gets worse. Somehow there's a quota for the number of total medical students but no quotas for how many have to go into different fields, so most of them choose to become dermatologists. It turns out that in a skin-obsessed culture you can make a lot more money that way than by delivering babies in some village out in the mountains. (Also some of the "dermatology" clinics are just places where rich people go to get shot up with propofol. They're literally just drug dealers.)

So President Yun Seok-Yul tried to increase the quota to 5,000/year. The doctors went apeshit and went on strike. That was back in February and they still are refusing to back down. The public is starting to realize that doctors are a cabal who've got a monopoly on health care and intend to squeeze the most possible cash out of it. The doctors are also pissed now that nurses are being allowed to take over some duties that used to be theirs. Well maybe show up and do the work if you don't want someone else to?

It's a good thing doctors in other countries aren't exactly the same...

DRUMPY'S top levels aren't even filled!

A prominent transgender activist stole nearly $100,000 from a bail fund she operated, using the money to pay for her closet renovations and her Mercedes, prosecutors in Brooklyn allege.

Dominique Morgan, 43, of Atlanta, was already making $200,000 a year as the executive director of the Brooklyn-based Okra Project when she stole $99,000 during a roughly two-week period in July 2022, prosecutors allege.

Morgan announced that OKRA, which offers mutual aid and other resources to the Black trans community nationwide, would start bailing people out, but didn't take any steps to create an official initiative, prosecutors charge.\

She transferred the money into her personal account, ostensibly to bail out indigent criminal defendants, but instead spent it on a $19,000 California Closet renovation, car payments for a Mercedes-Benz, purchases at clothing stores, meals and other personal expenses, according to prosecutors.

When OKRA asked her for proof she was using the money for bail, she cooked up bogus receipts for 23 people who were supposedly arrested in Fulton County, Ga., and Douglas County, Neb., prosecutors allege. But an audit showed none of those people had been arrested in either county at the time, prosecutors said.

She left OKRA the next month, announcing on her LinkedIn page, "August 2, 2022 was my final day in my contracted role as the Executive Director of The Okra Project. The decision was amicable."

On Tuesday, Morgan was indicted in Brooklyn Supreme Court on one count of grand larceny and 23 counts of falsifying business records. She pleaded not guilty, and Justice Danny Chun ordered her released without bail.

She did not respond to questions outside the courtroom, and her lawyer, Jonathan Fink, declined comment Tuesday.

She could face five to 15 years behind bars if convicted of the top count.

"The theft of nonprofit funds deprives communities of critical resources, erodes public trust, and cheats donors who give in good faith," said Brooklyn D.A. Eric Gonzalez. "The defendant in this case allegedly stole bail funds meant to secure pretrial release of indigent defendants, instead using the money for personal benefit."

OKRA representatives did not return a message seeking comment Tuesday.

The nonprofit's current executive director, Gabrielle Inès Souza, alluded to turmoil in a letter on the organization's website after she took the job.\

"I am no stranger to the lack of leadership, accountability and transparency that have plagued this organization. Many have tried to forget past missteps, hoping to forge a path of newness without addressing old wounds," she wrote. "But in the words of George Santayana, 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' And in recent years, we've been stuck on repeat."

Morgan is also the former executive director of Black and Pink, a national prison abolition organization that supports currently and formerly incarcerated individuals who are LGBTQ+ and/or living with HIV/AIDS.

After leaving OKRA, she became the director of the Fund for Trans Generations at Borealis Philanthropy.

Borealis representatives did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
