Choose to stand against exploitation. Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Image of a newborn piglet lying against their mother on a metal farming grate. Below, white text on a black background reads: “They are vulnerable. And we exploit them. I refuse to be a part of this. I am vegan. I may be only one person. But I am one person.” The message highlights rejecting animal exploitation through individual vegan action.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

My life serves as living proof that humans can live a #vegan life, long-term, be healthy & more important - be nonviolent & show basic decency to all others; human & nonhuman. The best part of aging is more years of living #veganism, #AnimalRights & #nonviolence. Vegan living extends beyond diet.

It's despicable that they lowered the flag for this guy.

#Veganism is my religion. I am nonviolent to all #animals; both human & nonhuman. I live harmlessness. I do to others what I would want done to me. This is my #religion.

True, except recently. I've seen protests in Israel that say STOP Starving Gaza, & another where they hold up individual photos of Gaza Palestinian children. Also, there are the refuseniks who are choosing to go to jail rather than Gaza. Also 'Standing Together' bsky.app/profile/stan...

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

No, the Nobel Committee did not remove Donald Trump from the Peace Prize list, because no such public list exists. The committee maintains strict confidentiality regarding nominees for 50 years. Claims that he was "quietly removed" due to criminal proceedings or other violations are false.

This is false. I have to fact-check even here on Blue Sky. So much misinformation on social media, even from the Blue crew.

Trump has to rush his consolidation of power before he’s debilitatingly unpopular. That’s what authoritarians do.

What we do is organize massive, peaceful resistance that unifies the opposition, retakes power, and ushers in an era of accountability & reform: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

One good reason why zoos are unethical and why vegans don't support zoos; where animals are imprisoned and seen as a commodity.

Not under this horrific administration. She spoke against Trump. In her final interview that would be aired after her death, she was asked who she didn't like & would send on a rocket to Mars, and Trump & his supporters were on it.

Not all Israelis are pro the genocide. So you can only say the Netanyahu right-wing government & some Israelis are pro the genocide. I'm not pro the genocide, starving Gaza & war crimes, & killing children, but I realize Israelis want to feel safe, which they don't. Hamas charter = end Israel.

I have my older brother to thank. He was trying to get my portion of dinner, so told me the truth that meat was a dead animal. He got my dinner! I never ate meat again. My brother is now also a long-term vegan, as it turned out.
