My lower lip may one day become bloody from the number of times I have scraped my teeth against it from pronouncing the word FREE.

We won! Ridglan is closing and all the dogs are coming out! And I want to share two important things about how we won. (Hint: it wasn’t me. It was someone else!)

This is excellent news! Great job to all of the activists and people who stood up to Ridglan!

Seals are so cute. Please let the seals live. I’m worried about the little seals. 😢

New mass surveillance system introduced in America “If you thought flock cameras are bad, law enforcement now has a system that identifies you based on the signals coming off of every single device you have” “It collects your Bluetooth, your Wi-Fi, your RFID signals from your phone, your smartwatch, your headphones, your car, your car's radio, absolutely everything. Then it builds what they call an electronic fingerprint, and their website gives an example of this. So picture 70 cars drive by one of these systems. Every car has an iPhone, but not every car has the same iPhone model, same smartwatch that's on you, same headphones, same everything else. So they build a profile based on you, not just your car's license plate anymore. So that combination is unique to you. They don't just need your license plate anymore. They don't even need a picture of your face. They just need the signals that your devices are already broadcasting. Can work in malls, subways, any public place, pretty much anywhere this can work. And then all of that information is gonna get stored on a server where it could be searched for later.” This isn't some random theory, it's real and I researched the details It’s called SignalTrace, its commercially available law enforcement tool. It extends beyond traditional Automatic License Plate Recognition by capturing publicly broadcast radio signals from everyday devices Signals Captured: Bluetooth from phones, watches, headphones, car systems, Wi-Fi, RFID like tags, key fobs, luggage and other local device emissions It creates a Electronic Fingerprint unique profile by correlating multiple device signals that travel together with a vehicle and person. This includes your specific iPhone model smartwatch car infotainment headphones This is a massive mass surveillance tool tracking profiles without needing faces, plates, or warrants in many cases. Networks of these sensors could map movements across cities It builds persistent tracking profiles without needing faces, plates or warrants. Networks of these sensors could map movements across cities We have to stop this type of technology for being normalized. This is unlawful surveillance without a warrant

Trump promised not to “touch” Medicaid. Now he is cutting it by $1 trillion and taking health care away from patients with cancer, AIDS and other life-threatening diseases to pay for tax breaks to the top 1% and his wealthy campaign contributors. Unimaginable cruelty.

The amount of people who genuinely believe the US military won’t turn on citizens if ordered is troubling at best.

Never before have we had so much income inequality. Last year, the bottom 50% saw their income go down by $27, on average, while the top 0.01% gained $2.9 million. And the top 0.001%? They saw their income go up by $20 million. In a single year. Yes. We must tax the rich.

I've been working on farm animal protection for a while now, and I haven't seen anything quite like what's happening around the Save Our Bacon Act. People who have never organized before, including some genuinely prominent voices, are hosting events, calling senators, and fundraising from friends. And those of us who have been here a while, across many ideological divides and every strategic disagreement, are showing up together. We've always punched above our weight (out of necessity!), but this feels substantively very different. The political and social cost of supporting this barbarism is finally rising.

Taxing 50% of AI companies' stock to ensure that AI benefits humanity isn't radical, but let me tell you what is: Since Trump was elected, the 7 richest men in America, all Big Tech oligarchs, became $1.15 trillion richer while 60% live paycheck to paycheck. That's radical.

The Trump administration is offering tens of thousands of acres of Colorado elk habitat to oil and gas companies. The lease sale could impact America's elk, pronghorn, and mule deer populations.

Wayne Hsiung, the animal rights activist facing 31 years in prison for his role in the Ridglan Farms beagle rescue, has published a detailed plan to target Marshall BioResources in North Rose, New York, which he describes as the Death Star of vivisection. MBR is believed to house around 20,000 dogs and 40,000 other animals including cats, ferrets, and pigs. Hsiung says it supplies approximately half of all dogs used in experiments across the United States, making it larger than all other suppliers combined. Leaked footage from the facility showed beagles thrashing against inhalation masks during training for toxicity experiments. Some dogs were used in phosgene gas experiments, a chemical weapon banned under international law that killed 85,000 people in World War One. Dogs subjected to phosgene slowly drown over many hours as their lungs fill with fluid. Hsiung's plan calls for rescuing every animal at MBR by the end of 2026 through political pressure, mass mobilisation, and if necessary direct action. New York Congressmember Nick Langworthy has personally visited the facility and expressed support for its closure.

Did you know 20% of animals killed for food are just thrown in the trash? Over 20 billion animals a year.

🚨 HOLY SHIT. CNN just cited a New York Times estimate saying Trump has reportedly profited $1.4 BILLION from the presidency. And the wildest part? One panelist said Trump made MORE MONEY in the last year than in the rest of his life combined. Think about that.

Everyone’s in the CIA, unfortunately.

I really need a sparring partner.

Donald Trump Jr takes a financial stake in a company… 3 months later, the Pentagon gives it $620 million… after Trump’s White House told them to… And the company’s valuation rose from $200 million to $2 billion as a result. This is corruption. propublica.org/article/donal…
