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?

“Hamnesia.” What is it with this need to mock animals fighting for their lives and their freedom?
Sept. 23 (UPI) -- Police in Washington engaged in an "old-style farm roundup" when multiple chickens, pigs and piglets fled from their home and tied up traffic on a Kent-area road.

The Kent Police Department said on social media that officers responded to a 911 call about farm animals obstructing traffic and arrived to find several creatures running loose in the roadway.

"The crew began corralling them, but they ran a-fowl when the free range feathered friends kept evading capture," police wrote. "We thought the pigs might recognize the PD as friendlies and be more cooperative. But perhaps in their collab-boar-ation for a freedom run, they bonked their heads and had hamnesia."
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.
we are all antifa at heart. a 🧵

How to get through to people to please stop equating cops (who exist to serve and protect the interests of capital) with pigs (among some of the most victimized by capitalism on this earth).
Nonhuman animals are so oppressed and invisiblized that billions of them screaming and bashing their skills against iron bars their entire lives does not enter the radar of everyone from Noam Chomsky to Gayarti Spivek, or at best a mere footnote

seems if there’s mass killing involved the US government is always happy to subsidize it

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.

How bird flu being found in dairy milk can impact Arizonans
Reposted by miggie aka mike
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

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.
