it always blows my mind when these people act like “the left just calls everyone nazis” these days and it’s like no. we’re calling nazis nazis! there just happens to be a lot of them in and around the government these days!

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Multiple tweets from Nazi Jack Posobiec in 2016 making "jokes" involving the Nazi code "1488."

I don't understand how there are people who can understand that what is happening to Ukraine is unjust but at the same time don't care about Palestine, or even support the Israeli govt. You're either against imperialism and occupation, or you're not.

Parents always say ‘if your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?’

Yet those same parents will use others as an excuse when it comes to our unnecessary, outdated & barbaric use of animals, because everyone else is still doing it, right? 😟

You prefer to see yourselves as doing nothing evil, nothing out of the ordinary, just behaving innocuously like everyone else. Yet simultaneously you subject us to gratuitous violence, mutilation & brutal massacres. You are perpetrators of atrocities.

Several one week old male calves hang upside down from their back legs on a conveyor in an Australian slaughterhouse, bleeding out after having had their throats slashed. The tiled walls are spattered with spilled infant blood.

Palm oil giant Socapalm still planting on disputed land in Cameroon as villagers seek redress

A land dispute between residents of a Cameroonian village and a major palm oil company remains unresolved despite protests and requests for meetings with authorities, NGOs and community members say. Residents of Apouh village in the country’s Littoral region have long accused Socapalm, a subsidiary of Luxembourg-based multinational Socfin, of encroaching on their ancestral land […]

Most Americans don’t want to kill other people.

But social conditioning is powerful. Propaganda is powerful.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking it couldn’t happen here.

This is why we have to defend trans people and immigrants. This is why we don’t cede ground.

Israel cannot be trusted to honor any ceasefire; they have broken them all. They may accept initial steps to secure the release of captives, shift focus to the West Bank, and later resume the genocide.

The Supreme Court appears ready to side with Trump in bringing back “gay conversion therapy.”

This practice involves physically abusing teenagers to try to turn them heterosexual, including with electric shocks and chemically-induced nausea.

It is no longer reasonable to assume decency or honesty from any ICE agent.

Act accordingly. They will lie. They will cheat. They will steal. They will kill. All in order to hurt your friends and family for not fitting their broken definitions of what an American is.

Don’t play fair. ICE won’t.

Ultimately, we’re all capable of evil. We may never consciously wish to be, yet practically all of us willingly participate in the evil done to fellow animals. We pretend it is normal or natural, when in truth it’s a choice to be violently cruel, hence to be evil.
