When we start targeting people (billionaires) rather than ideas (wealth inequality), we're going down the wrong path toward justice and equity.

Let's focus on the dollars and sense, leaving heightened rhetoric where it belongs:

In the dumpster.

Frank Lutz rebranded the Estate Tax as the "Death Tax" to incense everyday Americans into believing that they, too, would inherit millions of $, when only about 30% of people ever see any wealth transfer, let alone assets exceeding $15M. (Most get around $40K-$50K.)

I fight for animals because I’m fighting for all life on Earth to be able to live free from harm and exploitation. I speak for those who have no voice, and in fighting for them, I hope to elevate the welfare and quality of life for all living beings everywhere. This is my 2026 promise. 5/5

Again, if people were chained to machines, forcibly impregnated, then had their children removed against their will, we would call that slavery. But we call cows “dumb,” justifying their enslavement—the same argument used to subjugate other humans. Denigration justifies the brutality. 4/5

I recently heard an episode of Marketplace interviewing a dairy farmer who snarkily said, “You hear anyone being abused around here?” Which means that abuse is only real if sounds like torture. 3/5

If an animal is worthy of humane treatment, why is it also worthy of being murdered? If we talked about owning slaves this way, by that logic, “nice” slave owners were treating those humans as worthy of kindness—but not their freedom. Thru that lens, this speciesism becomes clear. #AnimalRights 2/5

Yurp!!

Also—you should know you blew my mind at Reparations Book Club in LA talking about white women’s proximity to white male power… hence why I’m just chilling with my girls of all colors. Bye bye, white supremacist patriarchal bullshit!!
