So Zack Polanski and Hannah Spencer are both canvassing in Gorton and Denton. Nigel Farage is in the Maldives and no one knows where Matt Goodwin is. Have Reform thrown in the towel already?

A better take still, from a well-informed journalist: bsky.app/profile/kenn...

80% of agricultural land is used for livestock (and textiles), yet this huge land use provides only 17% of our calories and 38% of our protein. 16% of the land used for crops provides 83% of our calories and 62% of our protein. It's past time we rethink what we eat.

“It’s scandalous that billions of euros of EU taxpayer money is being used to prop up a high-emissions industry at a time when scientists are telling us that we need – on health & environmental grounds – to shift to lower-meat diets” say @foodrise.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Neo-liberal capitalism and AI have had another baby. This one's called Surveillance Pricing. But just keep believing their spin that AI is for the good of humanity, and the capitalists' $$ will trickle down to you eventually.

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich. Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else. Trickle-up economics.

This proposed change would criminalise protesting or “interfering” with facilities linked to animal testing. Since it was announced, it has sparked widespread public outrage and serious political concern.

Factory farms are centers of waste, disease, pollution, animal suffering - all subsidized by the British public. #factoryfarms #animalrights #biodiversity #ecosystem #pollution #water open.substack.com/pub/herbivor...

ICE isn’t just brutal. It’s also big business. From 2008 to 2021 ICE spent *$1.2 billion* on geolocation tracking, $561M on data analysis, $252M on government databases, and $97M on data brokers. Most of that went to companies who will lobby for this system to stay in place.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Happy to talk to @olliemilman.bsky.social about the potential impacts IF people followed the new dietary guidelines. We’re talking potentially 100M acres of additional ag land and 100s of millions of tons of more CO2e. But if we instead ate more plants, we could have our protein and forests, too.

Omg. Iran killed 16,500 protesters and injured 330,000 in two days.

Why is it that we always root for these animals to escape and find safety...while simultaneously paying for them to go to slaughter in the first place 🤔 Make it make sense 😔

Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas. Remember: these are people who entered the country legally. Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

Today's my 1st BIRTHDAY. For a beef cow, this means I've lived half my life - 'cos when I'm 2 years old I'll be at the point of maximising the rancher's profit & providing humans with the tastiest meat I could live 20yrs, but this time next year I'll be getting my throat slit at the slaughterhouse

Sharon Wilson and Justin Mikulka work for a small nonprofit named Oilfield Witness that documents methane released from oil and gas infrastructure. Many of these methane plumes are not leaks: “Those are intentional releases to protect the equipment and maintain operation,” Wilson said.

More than 46 million turkeys will be consumed on November 28, and nearly all of them were raised in some of the most inhumane conditions imaginable. These practices strip turkeys of their ability to live as the sentient, curious beings they are.
