EDITORIAL Celebrities and citizens, use platforms wisely

This weekend, music icon Madonna delivered a scathing speech against the Trump presidency, hailing it as a “horrific moment of darkness,”as part of the Women’s Marches taking place in cities across the globe. Several weeks prior, lauded actress Meryl Streep spent six minutes of her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes criticizing now-President Donald Trump and his actions and rhetoric over the course of his campaign. Both women have faced retribution not only for their words, but also for using their public influence to push their own social and societal agendas. It’s no secret that celebrities live in both the literal and figurative spotlight. Their each innocuous action is examined incessantly by the public and the press, and it seems as though stories of Lady Gaga’s most recent outrageous outfit or Kim Kardashian’s latest scandal often overshadow the real news. Their status grants them the unique opportunity to speak to and be heard by a global audience, and regardless of whether or not we agree with their message or their chosen platform, we need to award them the same respect that we would anyone else making use of the right to free speech. Trump responded to Streep’s Golden Globe speech with a series of tweets, working around the 140-character limit to make his point: “Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn’t know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes…” Trump continued on, calling Streep a “Hillary flunky” and discrediting her as part of the “very dishonest media” of which he believes he has been the victim. Not only has Trump made a show of speaking out against those who spread unfavorable news about him, but the general public has been complicit in his criticism, taking to social media platforms to express their frustration that celebrities would use their access to a receptive audience to speak out against the issues for which they are passionate.

MEGAN RULE Staff Writer

The Waco Animal Shelter, in partnership with The Humane Society of Central Texas, prides itself on being a “no-kill” shelter and an open-admission shelter, but to keep this record rolling, adoptions and fosters are crucial, according to Delfi Messinger, director of animal services for Waco. “No-kill’ is a real great buzz phrase. It means we never do this, but in fact it’s not really what it means,” Messinger said. “It means that we do not euthanize 90 percent of the animals, so 90 percent of the animals have a live outcome. They either get adopted out, they go to a foster and then become rescued or they’re transferred to another organization so they leave the facility a l i v e .” The Humane Society of Central Texas handles the outcome, adoption, foster and rescue of the dogs and cats. The animal shelter also helps manage kennel inventory and has a full-time veterinarian who provides health care for the animals.
