Unwanted opinion but “all the walls must fall” includes slaughterhouse walls and feedlot fences.
How can we dismantle racism, patriarchy, sexism and colonialism without confronting our oppression of nonhumans and acknowledging that the supremacist 'logic' used to commodify and exploit living beings is also used to oppress and erase marginalized and colonized peoples?

They also threaten and attack groups who distribute free food and other essentials here (see Food Not Bombs, Houston for example). It’s crazy how helping people with basic necessities is a perceived as such a threat by our rulers.

Let’s face it US politicians are just sock puppets that only get to say ‘Hamas’ and ‘release the hostages’ over and over again.. If there are other governments that still have people with actual souls and the freedom to act now would be the time.

Police in CA had a chance to actually stand on the side of communities they claim to protect, as federal agents swooped in to brutalize & kidnap people. But instead they assisted the ICE terrorists & when people pleaded with them they spoke of jurisdictions & orders. It’s why it’s ACAB forever.

'Natural order' is a propaganda tool used by those who want to maintain control over society and profit from the exploitation of the victims they arbitrarily deem inferior. All oppressive systems like animal farming are designed to benefit the privileged few and prevent societal progress.

I’m blind and it’s incredibly frustrating just how many accounts that I follow don’t use alt text.
People can just go to settings, select accessibility and then select require alt text, so they’re reminded to add alt text when posting images.

I'm seeing SO MANY posts without alt text, all of a sudden.
Pals, please, if an image is worth sharing, it's worth sharing with everyone. Take a moment, click the "+ ALT" at the top of the image preview, and describe what's there for people who can't see (or just can't load) images.

What a glorious day, shame the tranquility of nature was interrupted by hunt scum, we did our best to stop them. Today we spoilt the Tedworth Hunts’ criminal intentions. Terriers in quad boxes this morning, but our drones overhead & our sabs in the field were focused on keeping the wildlife safe.

I recently heard an NPR segment about bird flu. I was horrified by what listeners were being told.
USDA inspectors were telling callers that H5N1 was not a consequence of factory farming, just bad biosecurity; implying farming fewer eggs would not reduce zoonotic risk.
We have to face the truth.

There's been lots of stories about H5N1, but I've yet to see a deep dive into where it came from—which is also the story of how industrial poultry production methods are responsible for turning harmless influenzas into monsters.

I'm working on a project about the life of a dairy cow and - wow - the things we do to gentle, maternal animals for no good reason at all shocks the conscience. Mostly all things I already knew, but there's knowing and then there's knowing

Social care should also be about allowing disabled people to enjoy much of what non disabled people take for granted, like days out and weekends away.
That’s something we’ve left up to charities, leaving many disabled people shut away from society, and isolated.

The world will free itself from the grip of Western colonialism only when we reject its logic that views humans, non-human animals and land as commodities to be exploited.

Dairy fharmers are the real threat that no one ever talks about. They confine and exploit animals, endanger public health, fuel environmental destruction, and somehow always manage to paint themselves as the victims.

This really touched me.
I’ve been blind for 15yrs and I’ve spent most of it hidden away, it took me till last year to use my cane in a public place for the first time and not be too scared to speak up, and I’d sure have a lot to say to my younger self.
