Iโ€™m not interested in debating whether right-wing or left-wing antisemitism is worse. Iโ€™m interested in fighting all antisemitism.

The truth we must admit is simple: antisemitism isnโ€™t left or right. It thrives anywhere itโ€™s allowed.

We must call out antisemitism everywhere.

Eggs are food for embryos.

If we wouldnโ€™t eat eggs from platypuses, serpents, flies, or women, why eat eggs from any other animal?

The egg industry uses "chick culling", i.e. suffocating or macerating to death newborn male chicks, who are useless as egg-laying hens.

Mayor Eric Adams on antisemitism in NYC: "When we are silent in the face of hatred, hate will spread" In an address to New Yorkers, Adams spoke out against the rise in antisemitism after a Jewish tourist was attacked in Manhattan.

Adams said 57% of hate crimes in New York City are against Jewish people. He pointed to two incidents this weekโ€ฆThose were the attack on Israeli tourist Rami Glickstein, beaten in Midtown while wearing a yarmulka, and an unauthorized art exhibit.

Animals raised for food are invariably left behind when catastrophic events (hurricanes, floods, fires, earthquake) punish their land

A permanent solution?

Live vegan. We can spare unimaginable suffering to animals while helping our own healthโ€”and the environment

New US Bill Seeks $10M Grant to Provide Plant-Based Meals to School Students A new federal bill calls on the US government to create a $10M pilot grant programme to expand voluntary access to plant-based meals in schools.

Children in school should not be forced to choose between eating corpses / animal secretions (eggs, milk/dairy) or going hungry

Attitudes on commercial hunting and trade of kangaroos A large-scale survey of 5,000 people across five EU countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands) reveals overwhelming public opposition to the commercial killing of kangaroos. -โ€ฆ

๐Ÿฆ˜โค๏ธ Today on #WorldKangarooDay, we celebrate one of Australiaโ€™s most iconic animals but also call for action.

The ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ is the largest importer of #kangaroo meat & leather, yet 83% of Europeans want a ban.

Itโ€™s time to end this cruel trade.

The long history of euphemisms around the use of animals in lab research Animals used in research arenโ€™t just hidden from sight. Theyโ€™re objectified, or โ€œde-animalized,โ€ as Melanie D.G. Kaplan writes in this excerpt from her book โ€œLab Dog.โ€

๐Ÿญ Thereโ€™s a long history of euphemisms in animal research. Animals arenโ€™t โ€œdogsโ€ or โ€œmiceโ€, theyโ€™re โ€œspecimensโ€ or โ€œmodelsโ€. Killing becomes โ€œsacrificeโ€.

๐Ÿ’” Language makes the work more palatable but not more ethical.

Why not live vegan, and avoid all contaminants in animal products?

We need zero substances coming from animals.

The underlying principles of veganism - animals are not ours to use, for food, testing, clothing entertainment or any other purpose. Animals have fundamental rights that we should be upholding, & veganism is a living embodiment of these values
