No one is eating cats and dogs in Springfield. I live here. That started as an online rumor that spiraled out of control. All that it did was cause harm to our Haitian community and overall city.
Meanwhile, in Canton, where I live, a mentally unstable AMERICAN woman killed her neighbor’s cat and proceeded to eat it in front of everyone. THAT true story was conflated with the Springfield bullshit with pics to boot. She’s a black woman so, of course she became Haitian to fit their narrative. Meanwhile, one woman watched this crazy lady kill and eat her beloved kitty. I know these people personally and it infuriates me that both women were used to demonize Haitians in a city in the other side of Ohio.
So you have better security Intel than the POTUS? Oh ok😂👌But seriously, why would Migrants, who get free housing, free health care & free food, eat people's pets and Park animals? You know this isn't the only place that this "rumor" is happening, right? It's been happening in NJ and TN. I have seen videos of it happening. Too many cultural differences and putting a burden on social services that US Citizens are now lacking. Not good!
They have a different culture in Vietnam where they also have dog and cat meat festivals. They cut the legs off the live animals so they can’t run away and diners can see how fresh. Many of them really like the meat. It’s not true that the government provides so much that all desires are met. But I don’t care if I am believed. I was a young woman, witnessed what I saw, and in those days the SF Chronicle did cover the disappearance of the water foul around the Palace of Fine Arts. In a very short time they were gone. I am sharing history.
JD Vance also made the same claims then admitted during a live interview that lying was fine because it’s a truism. Dana Bash was infuriated. He said it was necessary to lie because people in Springfield were suffering. So. He terrified his state because he’s a piece of shit.
Who says? Every group of immigrants get accused of the same thing. It was true of the Vietnamese, saw them hanging a dog to death (slow death makes the meat sweeter). Called the cops and they did nothing. A very long time ago, but I still hurt for the dog. They also decimated water foul around the palace of fine arts. Maybe they were the ones that started the rumor for everyone else.
I grew up in 70s-80s, yes I agree and that is why I was getting so frustrated with corporate media and we needed people to stand up to this craziness and tell the truth! I moved over here bc Jim Acosta was reporting from Substack, also Dan Rather regularly writes essays. It gave me hope to know the truth tellers were here because the media had me thinking we were outnumbered.
Thank you for visiting Springfield again, Terry! What is happening with Haitians is horrendous and wrong in every way. I look forward to your reporting :)
Thank you for pointing out the kindness & genuine peacekeeping efforts of the local churches. Not all “christians” are crazy antiabortion MAGAS. My own church family has sponsored 2 Afghani refugees for resettlement. My sister’s church in Southern IN has help integrate a Uyghur family. My inlaws have worked tirelessly within their church to support Palestinian refugee efforts. And Pope Leo has his priests accompanying immigrants to hearings. I think sometimes liberal progressive Christians aren’t seen at work, making God’s love visible in the US. I know it’s complicated. But a lot of us are out here, trying.
Terry, Thanks for this. I have had many Haitian students over my long teaching career, and what tRump did to them was unforgiveable. I am angry all the time about everything he says and does, but the "eating cats and dogs" crap was low and dirty, even for him. No, there is no redeeming quality in him. I posted on FB today that ICE meets all the requirements of a terrorist organization and had become tRump's gestapo. I admire your tolerance for the people who still support that fiend. I long ago lost any respect for his supporters. You are good man, and are doing a very good thing. I wish you well in this journey and please take my love to the victims of the senseless and stupid intolerance. Haitians are here for the same reasons all our ancestors came . . . a better life, and they do not deserve this deportation. Go with God.
Thank you for reporting back on what’s happening in Springfield. I’m sure the Haitians are very afraid, especially since the Supreme Court ruled that Trump can send them to other countries like Libya and South Sudan. I can’t imagine being afraid to go back to Haiti because of danger and now fearful to be sent to another country where you don’t speak the language and is also dangerous when all they are doing is working and contributing to the small town in Ohio. Also, Rubio should be ashamed of himself, especially given the fact that his grandfather was undocumented when he came here from Cuba.
I think Rubio is ashamed. That's why he always has the expression of a man whose soul is rotting inside him and he can feel it. How must he act in private when he goes home to his wife and children after spending his day doing the devil's work for what? the paycheck? the prestige? being near power? His grandfather did not escape Cuba for his grandson to be a pawn of another dictator. Rubio is smart enough to reason this. He just lacks the b...s to act.
You are where you belong! No place needs you more! Bring all of your knowledge, experience, open mindedness & gratitude and here you will find the support you deserve in independent reporting!
after Trump said those horrible things about cats and dogs I said to my hubby "there's no way this crazy loon can win."...I just can't believe there's a felon and sexual predator in the WH!
Your voice is so important! Thank you!
Be careful, isn’t this where the immigrants eat the cats and dogs?

Different culture. Different Country.
God, I hope you’re being facetious
Djt said this while in a debate--only fools would believe it,appears we have many fools
So.
Many
Fools

Not funny!
Yes, the immigrants do it, they say.
Who’s “they”?
Who is ‘they?’

So sorry what ABC did to you was so wrong. Shame on them. Glad you found a new home 💙
Thank you for your integrity and your valuable journalism. We need you more than ever!! Keep up the good fight!👍🏼
AMEN!🙏
Safe travels, Terry.
Safe travels!
Yes, Substack is what news media used to be, when I grew up in 50s-60s.
Refreshing we are able to gather our news from reliable non opinionated sources.
😊

Dan was the OG on substack and his substack is regularly in the top 10 and one of my go tos!!
Everyone has opinions. It’s the ability to share and allow discussion that makes information and views important and reliable.
Thank you for visiting Springfield again, Terry! What is happening with Haitians is horrendous and wrong in every way. I look forward to your reporting :)
I’m glad that you’re on Substack now and I support your work. But please, no more video-making while driving. Stay safe!
Excellent advice!
Here is a screenshot of your impersonators acct!
Have you reported the acct impersonating you? They are using your video and asking women to connect thru
What’s App! 😡
Mamas agree! Stay safe.
RealPatrotism is an impersonator account and has been reported!
Thanks for posting! I thought something seemed very off asking to connect through what’s app!

Rubio is so pathetic. He sold his soul and he knows it.

I believe you are a good guy!
Terry, please be careful. There has been a very DRASTIC uptick in gun violence/murder over the last few weeks here, and it’s very, very dangerous.
Thanks for the advice, Miko
ICE may shoot the cats and dogs or at least kidnap them
ABCs loss!

He cheated.
Voting for this sack-of-filth TWICE proves that a great deal of Americans LACK CHARACTER.
Serious safety concerns about you recording your excellent video while driving. Please consider this.
A new kind of "You Are There" journalism emerges with an experienced voice coming from, dare I say, a "true" human.
