Hate, vegans, right...common triggers right out of the gate.

Triggers can move one to reflect on the state of their humanity or to defend it. Walking with a friend who stops to give to an unhoused person is enough to trigger some individuals.

Whatever works to close all slaughterhouses, I'm open.

It’s horrific to know that individuals who are just as capable of love & fear as the dogs & cats we consider family are being treated like disposable commodities 24/7 in this nightmare world we’ve created for animals.

Pig
I'm just meat.
I can't believe anyone would think I have feelings and rights.
I don't matter
Because I'm not a pet.
No one can say
Your food is immoral.
Because it makes you feel bad.
You don't see my suffering.
It's not your fault.
Please don't say
You're responsible.
I want you to know I'm only a pig.
Now read upwards.
A. Harris

From an international perspective, America is a rogue state now, right? America doesn't respect international law, doesn't honor treaties, is murdering civilians all over the world without care or consequence.

At what point does the rest of the world say ENOUGH?

Universal basic income and healthcare should have both been implemented decades ago, but the second best time is right this goddamn instant.

Trump’s war aim: Iran’s β€˜unconditional surrender’ The president's message β€” coming after days of mixed signals from administration officials β€” articulates that the U.S. has no intention of providing Tehran with an off-ramp.

Trump outlined his ultimate goal for the war in Iran: β€œunconditional surrender” by its leaders.

The message β€” after days of mixed signals from his administration β€” articulates that the U.S. has no intention of providing Tehran with an off-ramp for a deal.

For about $2.5 billion a day, we could provide a $500 per month UBI to every American β€” adults and kids. Poverty would be reduced by 65%. Child poverty would drop by over 80%. Extreme poverty would be essentially eliminated. Inequality would drop by about 20%.

We can do/be so much better than this.

How is it that the religious who believe in one god do not see every other human on Earth as a brother or sister in love, or every other species as deserving of respect and protection?

I'm baffled by the disconnect. It seems religion uses man-made gods to uphold the ways of dominance and hierarchy.

Clickbait Alert: This Study Didn’t Show Meat Helps You Live Longer A recent study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has been reported in the British press with headlines implying that people who avoid meat are less likely to live to 100.

A famine-era Chinese cohort study gets spun into β€œmeat helps you live to 100”. It didn’t show that. It showed underweight 80 year olds were less likely to reach 100. Poverty isn’t a diet. Frailty isn’t proof. Read before you swallow the headline.
