Backyard slaughter, small local family butchers -- there is no humane way to kill someone who doesn't want to die, and not justifiable reason when no human needs animal products to survive
All slaughter is barbaric 👺 All slaughter is unnecessary All slaughter is reprehensible. There is only one justifiable way humans should live .. it is a way without exploiting and killing animals in any way #LiveVegan stop your killings 🙏

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.
We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Big Journalism (esp. @nytimes.com) failed to adequately & accurately cover the #handsoff pro-democracy demonstrations.
Local outlets did *much* better.
Newsroom leaders need to defend democracy from autocracy.

Local news outlets show the New York Times how to cover the growing pro-democracy movement.
The NYTimes leadership is still indifferent to democracy. Just look at its front page.

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st.
He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses."
They didn't show him a warrant.
They didn't give him paperwork.
And he's now suing.

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

"I think Epstein is one of those people who truly knew Donald Trump, knew many secrets about Donald Trump, and was threatening to Donald Trump."
Wolff: Certainly 80, 90, probably 100 hours I have of Epstein on tape. We spent a lot of time talking about Donald Trump and Epstein’s relationship with him, which went on for a good 15 years and was incredibly close—they were each other’s closest friend for a very long time.
