Read this. 100 pages short and sharp. How animal agrarian culture kills empathy and alienate us from nature.

I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

We have identified the deep state. Now it’s pretty certain that it is the billionaire oligarchs. Their big money is driving politics. We need to tax them out of their billions and put that money toward the public interest.

If you have a feeling that it’s all falling apart, that madness seems to rule these days… Yes, and there are cultural roots to this madness.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Let’s make him FAMOUS, shall we?! 👇 You know what to do.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Fun fact: while Phony Stark and the DOGEbags are taking money from our veterans, the world’s poorest people and kids with cancer, Assistant President Poopy Pants has already spent nearly $11 million of our money… playing golf.

Animal agriculture is the root of all evil… —Slavery —Human supremacy —Patriarchy —Women’s oppression —Alienation from nature —Climate crisis —War-mongering — Toxic masculinity

I suspect we’re going to be hearing more stories about failing farmers having their land bought for cheep—it’s not a coincidence. Is this why USAID was cut—to make way for billionaires?! Watch til the end and keep an eye on national parklands too. 🧵

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

The billionaires have been working on their merger with the evangelicals and “conservatives” for decades…abortion was the wedge issue to get Christians to vote against their own good. It was never about babies. It was to bring about a coup…it is an oligarchy taking over the US inch by inch.

Disappointing. Will never again support #WWF or post anything they have to say. 'WWF helping facilitate trade in polar bear fur, investigation reveals www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Luigi Mangione has a website now. "I am overwhelmed by - and grateful for - everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support. Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial, and even class divisions..."

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇 statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-law...

Is it just me or does anyone else give NO F**ks about BAFTA and one more self-worshipping celebrity celebration?!?! Overdressed privileged millionaires !

AND ALSO THERE'S A COUP

A cartoon from several years ago finally coming to fruition, via Paul Noth.

It’s a coup.

Why the obsession with the differences between humans and other animals? It would be much healthier for us to see the similarities, the evolutionary continuity, and our belonging with the other lives in our world.

At some point very soon, republicans in Congress will have to choose between pleasing Trump to avoid being primaried, and helping their constituents to avoid being primaried.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Count me in, ladies!! 💙💙

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory

Posted around NYC, Chicago, DC and other cities. Be creative. Do something!

You don’t say…

Southern culture… The white elite controlled by thugs (aka “good ole boys”) who supplied the fear to keep both blacks and whites in line. A leftover from slave times when community sanctioned terrorism shored up the violence of slavery. Fear kept everyone serving the white elite.

Humans are #primates. They're #GreatApes. Humans are part of the #AnimalKingdom as we can freely move. Humans belong to the animal phylum known as chordates who have a backbones. Humans are #mammals. Other animal species are fellow #animals; our animal cousins. #GoVegan #veganism #VeganForTheAnimals

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Bison should be allowed to roam free and cattle should be restricted to private land. All abandoned barbed wire should be removed from public land. The money today being wasted on public lands grazing should go into building wildlife overpasses and installing wildlife safe guide fencing.

Republican lawmakers are the weakest species. Weak kneed, bootlicking-sycophants waiting for their next order from King Elon. Kiss the ring, toadies. Bend the knee, lackies. Wait for daddy to to tell you what to do...
