SUMMARY: The city of Daphne recently inaugurated a new state-of-the-art Animal Services Center, marking the culmination of a six-year project. Designed to enhance the living conditions for animals, the facility features elements aimed at reducing anxiety, making them more adoptable. Local resident and volunteer Linda Roberts highlighted the shelter’s positive impact, while Mayor Robin Leun emphasized its role in the city’s expansion plan. The shelter is envisioned as a community hub, accommodating a variety of activities beyond animal care. The new center is expected to serve the community for the next 25 to 30 years.

After six years in the making, the Jubilee City is now home to a state-of-the-art animal services center.

SUMMARY: The FBI is investigating racist text messages sent to students of color, including African American, Hispanic, and LGBTQIA+ communities, following the election. The offensive texts included messages like being “selected to pick cotton” at a plantation. Some students also received threats of deportation or being sent to reeducation camps. These messages have spread to high school students and were reported through both text and email. While no violence has been linked to these messages, the FBI is working with the Department of Justice, law enforcement, and school officials to investigate further.
