Skydog’s mission statement from its founding has been 50% rescuing #wildhorses from kill pens and BLM holding corrals + 50% educating and raising awareness for wild horses. In the Year of The Fire Horse, we made that happen in a bigger way than we could ever have hoped.
It was incredible to have two enormous events for #wildhorses happen at the same time last month. The day after the #NYtimes dropped the Dave Philipps article, #BlueZeus started streaming on #Prime and has been trending ever since. Everyone is talking about the BLM’s abuse wild mustangs now.

Fairer taxes on extreme wealth could give governments more resources to invest in climate action, strengthen public services, and help communities adapt to a changing climate. No amount of private wealth can create a separate planet.

1/ Our wonderful hauler, Steve Egner, brought Hallow to Santa Ynez. “Goodbye, friend,” he said. “They'll take it from here. You're in kind hands." And that he is. Hallow is as sacred to us as his name. He’s settling in and has already gone out with Top Notch and Dune.

“The administration wrote to several grantees working on maternal health that while ‘maternal and infant health are important issues,’ their work ‘does not advance minority health with regards to OMH’s current priority areas.’” we don’t loathe these people enough.

The Senate returns from recess next week. That means our senators could soon vote on a bill that would turbocharge Trump’s corruption — and Republicans only need to peel off a handful of Democrats to pass this crypto legislation. Email your senators and demand that they reject the CLARITY Act. 👇

Dave’s book “Wild Horse Country" is a beautifully written history of wild horses. He reveals how the BLM cycles every 10 years to a different program designed to funnel as many mustangs to slaughter as they can, until they get caught. Well worth a read!
1/ David Phillips wrote the recent front page @nytimes exposé of the BLM’s sale authority program based on the work of @skydogsanctuary. It sparked the biggest outpouring of outrage we have seen since 1971, when the Wild Free Roaming Horse & Burro Act was passed unanimously by Congress.
Name another song that mentions the word "Was." 🎶 Written by Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong, the Temptations sing, "It was the 3rd of September, that day I'll always remember, yes I will" in mid 1972 on the song, "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone," which was, ironically released on September 28th.
