Preaching about “free speech” while giving Trump a kill switch on every story.

Bigots, racists, antisemites, Holocaust deniers (and advocates for its repetition), Hitler apologists, Hitler fans, misogynists, transphobes, supplement grifters, white nationalists, theocratic autocrats, homophobes, kleptocrats, speciesists, conspiracists… all are welcome in the @GOP 🇺🇸 🤮

Why not celebrate by being kind to a sentient being? Or even all of them?

John and I had a great conversation with the wonderful @jamiewoodhouse.bsky.social of @sentientism.bsky.social.

In this talk, they explore the possibility of constitutions protecting all sentient beings and discuss Adenitire and Fasel's book "Animals and the Constitution: Towards Sentience-Based Constitutionalism". Watch their talk on YouTube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrKn... (2/2)

Such a pleasure to talk to Raffael and John about this radical but intuitively powerful idea. This will be our future.

Repairing the Farage / Tory damage… step by step… and way too slowly.

Dear media. Here is a reward 🥇 from #BigAnimalAg for talking about climate change, deforestation, biodiversity loss, food waste, pollution & zoonotic disease without mentioning animal agriculture’s impact 🙏 via feed conversion ratios, land use change & brutal exploitation 🏆

One privilege of doing the @sentientism.bsky.social podcast / YouTube is that I get to discuss, with world-leading legal scholars, whether Luna 🐶 should have a constitutional right to belly rubs. #SentientistConstitutionalism #SentientistConstitutions

Do Americans really want: - Foreign policy: Pro Russian & pro-authoritarian? - Health: Anti-vaxx, anti-public health, pro-conspiracy & pro-supplement grifter? - Domestic policy: Kleptocratic, neo-fascist Xtian nationalist? Hope they get the chance to say in the mid-terms.

Looking forward to our 3rd IRL @sentientism.bsky.social Community Meetup tomorrow. We'll be chatting about our visions for #sentientisteducation. What education grounded in "evidence, reason, & compassion for all sentient beings" might look like. Come join us! luma.com/uxs5ot2n?tk=...

Kindness shouldn’t just be for humans. #Sentientism

Even in war, good people care about animals. Imagine we could make this compassion for sentient beings universal ❤️ In fact, why just imagine? @sentientism.bsky.social

Listening to some BBC Global News bulletins about “the war between Russia and Ukraine,” you’d have no idea that one side 🇷🇺 is a genocidal invader and the other side 🇺🇦 is defending themselves and Europe 🇪🇺 Can you help them out Steve? @bbcstever.bsky.social

Please request this book at your local library. Everyone should know about this secretive industry. ISBN 978-1590567364 We don't have to depend on governments and corporations. We have the power to address the most pressing problems of our day every day with our choice of what we consume! #vegan

Has anyone come up with a gene 🧬 therapy to cure dark tetrad yet?

The most insidious cons are those people desperately want to be conned by. #BigAnimalAg

Just listened to a caller on LBC extol the virtues of living in Dubai because it’s a society ‘based on respect’. Yeah, right, unless you’re a woman; gay; a foreign labourer; criticise the government, Islam, or the monarchy, etc. The word you are looking for is ‘authoritarian‘ not ‘respect’.

Is the essence of your family celebration really the consumption of dead sentient beings? Your supermarkets seem to think so.

If we resist “might makes right” ethics and epistemology when used against human sentients, let’s also resist it when used against non-human sentients. @sentientism.bsky.social

Religion and non-religion both lead to the same conclusion -- if God made them sentient, we shouldn't harm them. If this world is all there is and they just happened by some extraordinary combination of circumstances to become sentient, we shouldn't harm them!!

"If you’re a liberal and you think the fundamental political task is to stop tyranny… then the animal question just seems to be obvious… It’s the most blatant example of the unaccountable exercise of power…" Will Kymlicka, on the Knowing Animals podcast #sentientistpolitics

So many, otherwise great, thinkers destroy their own credibility by talking about their views on non-human animal ethics. Others destroy their credibility by never talking about it at all.

Must read--the truth about the people who run our world: Epstein's clubby relationship with everyone from Peter Thiel to Noam Chomsky. "What the Epstein class understands is that the more accessible information becomes, the more precious nonpublic information is." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/o...

until quite recently, I had never thought much about fish, but now they're all I think about Please read my piece about FISH MINDS! the great fish pain debate, and what it tells us about science and ourselves. gift link in reply!

Isn’t this exactly the sort of thinking that we criticise among the #Conspirituality / MAGA crowds? “As a meat eater I deny the suffering of the animals I eat. I kind of put that away somewhere and don’t think about it while I enjoy a tasty steak.” podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/2...

New playlist: #Sentientism and #Religion Inspired by the latest episode of @ourhenhouse.org and by all my wonderful guests! I prefer @sentientism.bsky.social, a non-religious worldview, but whatever it takes! @marisul.bsky.social @jasminsinger.com www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

In a world of people who cared consistently about non-human animals, vegans wouldn’t be seen as heroes or role models. They’d just be seen as normal.

I find it oddly dissonant when pro philosophers / public intellectuals talk about vegetarianism as a moral response to the horrors of animal exploitation. I think they mean veganism, but they seem to have “vegetarian” as a strong language default. What’s going on here?

Religious people and atheists should team up to help animals. Professor David Clough @dlclough.bsky.social from the University of Aberdeen joins me on #Sentientism YouTube and podcast episode 239. Here's a clip, and full episode links are here: sentientism.info/religious-pe...

Imagine teaching your kids a fixed set of answers instead of teaching them to be curious and to learn.

The monster is sentient. Not something, but someone. #Frankenstein

In a worldviews workshop this morning I asked a group of 60 kids: “Why do we care about humans?” A 10-year-old girl immediately answered, “Because we have feelings.” Yep 👍 #sentience

If you’re not a white Christian I’d suggest you shouldn’t support white Christian nationalists. If you are a white Christian I’d suggest you shouldn’t support white Christian nationalists.

We all know that, while we need to wear clothes, we don’t need to wear a fur coat. Just as, while we need to eat and drink, we don’t need to eat or drink animal products. Ethics is so easy 🤷‍♂️

Here’s a better approach: sentientism.info/why-should-w...

It's 2025 & prominent environmental thinkers are still talking as though fossil fuels are the only problem & humans are the only victims. The catastrophic impacts of animal agriculture don't get a mention. Nor do the obvious solutions of plant-based agriculture & the resulting land use change.

We all want to be kind to animals ❤️ One great way is not paying people to exploit, hurt and kill them.
