I haven't known how to introduce myself on Bluesky but thought I'd share this as a possibility, one that could prove to be mutually beneficial. After 15+ years of caring for my elderly parents, who have both now passed, my once big world became very small. It's time to come out of the woodwork.

Jane Goodall changed how we see animals. But was she really vegan - or is that just propaganda? I dug into the facts. Here's what I found... 🔗 www.pathlesspilgrim.... #vegan #veganism #JaneGoodall

If you consider yourself a compassionate person and still build your life and lifestyle on the suffering of others, human and nonhuman, such selectiveness indicates that you have gaping holes in your humanity. Often, it is our childhood conditioning that slices and dices it. It is on us to heal.

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked Trump from deploying the National Guard in Portland, ruling he overstepped his authority and violated state sovereignty. The court said Trump’s move lacked any “colorable basis” and was not justified by conditions on the ground.

BREAKING NEWS: We just secured a court order blocking the president’s order to deploy federalized National Guard troops to Portland when a federal judge granted our request for a Temporary Restraining Order. Read our statement. #orpol #nationalguard #portland #portlandoregon

Strongmen do not aspire to free the light of the people into the world. They conspire to extinguish it. It is the only way that they can gain and maintain power. Trump celebrates darkness and he's taken those weak in their morality with him into it. Plainly, we face a moral crisis.

We don't fail to imagine each other,we actively refuse to connect.Trump's genius was weaponizing that refusal, turning our fear of vulnerability into political identity.He made isolation feel like strength, disconnection like patriotism. And we all bought it, left and right, just in different forms

The media primes people to hate vegans before they’ve even met one.

NEW systematic review of the evidence shows that raising incomes is how to reduce food insecurity. The evidence does not support food-based interventions as reducing food insecurity.

Are all inclusive, love-based churches and mosques and synagogues going to be labeled terrorists along with 50+% of the American people? Will they extend it further to the Pope or the Dalai Lama? Trump’s NSPM-7 Labels Common Beliefs As Terrorism “Indicators” www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nsp...

I feel so for this man and his family. This is the stuff of Russia, not the United States. I don't know that I believe in heaven and hell, but, if there is a hell, this administration and its enforcers are prime candidates. I grieve for our country and its people, especially the children.

I ask everyone to read this article, and send it to your elected officials and whoever you deem necessary. Thanks. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nsp...

Sadly, this image could be called "the space in between." The space in between being thrown to the ground and thrown into prison; the space in between compassion and cruelty. And in taking a step back, I cannot help but yearn for the commons of love that can heal the space in between men.

If you heard about Judge Young's impressive ruling yesterday, but didn't want to read all 161 pages, I went through the whole damn thing and pulled out the highlights (there are a bunch, but it's still less than 161 pages).

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

If the US ever becomes a free nation again, this footage and particular meeting of Trump with the generals, in which he starts by telling them: "If you wanna leave the room you can, of course, there goes your rank and your career" Will be remembered as the turning point the fascist regime took hold.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

Vast Anomaly in Earth's Gravity Field Signals Shifts Deep Beneath The Surface In 2007, something strange happened over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. According to satellites orbiting Earth, our planet's gravity field developed a continent-scale anomaly before subsiding to its original state

I'm tired of all the hate & divisiveness. And the people who are acting as if nothing is wrong because "I don't follow politics." So to bring myself a little bit of joy, I'm sharing a quilt I made in 2022 that always makes me smile when I see it! (Pattern is Through Love Quilt by Taren Studios).

What Trump and his administration do not understand is that they do not own us. It is on us to make that clear. Even as a child I despised adults who believed they had a god-given right to dominate others, human or nonhuman, especially those who were inferior in intelligence. That's Trump to a tee.

the absolute truth.

One victim dragged by the leg 👺 The rest will follow to their DEATH That is one of the reasons humans choose herd animals like sheep to exploit and kill They are so easy to enslave and oppress #EndAnimalSlavery #liveVegan stop being complicit 🙏

Disgusting.

Is it not by default that Trump’s declaration of anti-fascists as terrorists that they are indeed declaring themselves as fascists?

If so, may they catapult the Republican party into the dustbin of U.S. history as well. Centrist Dems and old-school Reps can join to flank the right, and an inclusive, compassion-based party can rise on the left. We are missing out on our greater promise as a people being so skewed to the right.

Pretty privilege 🤝 Speciesism It sounds like: "Don’t hurt this animal, look how cute they are!" Every animal objectively deserves freedom from exploitation, no matter what they look like to subjective human eyes.

Withholding an endorsement for the Democratic nominee for mayor in your own city is bad enough, but then issuing a glowing press release praising the corrupt incumbent no one likes? All while doing fuckall to stand up to Trump? I swear, he's got the political instincts of an Amish child.

Worker-owned, or perhaps member-owned. An alternative to FB as well. While we're on the subject, I am seeking those with the knowledge to talk about a separate internet or new means of communication. We cannot rely on this government not to restrict, if not entirely shut down, the internet.

Yes, it is rich that they've indicted Comey over lying to Congress. Trump and his administration lie nonstop. And if Patel didn't just lie through his teeth in front of Congress then telling the truth is now officially redefined as telling a lie.

Close all slaughterhouses, too, as only a sadistic god would condone it. A loving god wouldn't have made these species sentient if exploitation is what it had in mind. And saying it's natural is akin to saying that sex is natural and then warehousing women for men to partake and dispose of at will.

I am befuddled at how many millions of my fellow citizens cannot see how seriously inferior in intelligence and humanity this man is that they elected. Yep, just befuddled.

MAGA is a Karen.

It always seems Like a restless dream A silent longing A silent scream But in that quiet moment between heartbeat and breath Our soul still yearns for what is unseen

I don't know what to say here, except that I would like to know the truth of whether Kirk's murderer was a Groyper. It was said that he was and then he wasn't and now he is, again. And Musk? In the big picture, I am not sure that the broad strokes labels of right and left are serving us.
