Just maybe the reason we are so heartless, soulless, and so bent on violence and domination, is because we have normalized the mass breeding, killing, and dismembering of our animal cousins. Just maybe.

NonVegans be like…

This right here deserves some honest reflection by those still supporting this animal ab/using industry #Fishing #Seafood We are #OneBillionScreams

And consider that we maintain an entire worldview—that is, how we view the living world and our place in the living world— to support these mass atrocities. This keeps us morally incomplete… selfish, soulless, and disrespectful of life.

Well, dairy consumers? What’s your excuse now? #NaturalTho

"‘A profound sense of being hunted’: with all eyes on Minneapolis, ICE arrests continue quietly across the US. Immigration operations are still stoking fear and disrupting the ability to go to work, school or doctor’s appointments." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Most humans are psychopathic towards farmed animals.

This could not be more critical to understand.

The thing that gets me is that there is exactly zero self-reflection coming from the alternative food movement. Read the Michael Pollan interview that ran yesterday in the NYT and he's like: "MAHA and me share some ideas! Huh! Weird!" MAHA is the food movement's ecofascist Frankenstein monster.

When invited to consider the nonhuman victims of human arrogance, people perceive a loss of privilege so instead their consideration becomes solely for themselves. Their counter arguments serve to re-centre humans in order to erase the victims of extreme violence. We are #OneBillionScreams

Perversely, an issue for most of you isn’t that violent cruelty is enacted upon a gargantuan scale, even upon the newborn, the problem is that there are people with a conscience & integrity who call you to account for your participation in indefensible, systematic violence We are #OneBillionScreams

Ethics do not reside in a political vacuum but that’s exactly where you’ve condemned us to live & die. Barred from your political realm, we’re denied rights & of meeting our subjective needs & legitimate interests. You pretend our abuse & suffering is apolitical. We are #OneBillionScreams

Sentientism isn’t just a worldview for individuals. It’s a worldview for institutions and systems. “Evidence, reason, and compassion for all sentient beings.”

Agrihoods reimagine urban living by putting food, not cars, at the center of the community. @mrmattsimon.bsky.social reports for @grist.org:

"Highly pathogenic strains like this one likely originate and intensify not in wild flocks, but in crowded industrial poultry systems." #AvianFlu www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

Avian flu is still out there churning away, churning away, causing suffering and deaths in millions of birds and mammals, and threatening a possible pandemic in our own species. Abolish animal agriculture. telanganatoday.com/tamil-nadu-s...

This is part of the sexual politics of meat, so many ads for mammalian milk show cows happy to share their nursing product; smiling, skinny, thinking only of the consumer. Most ads omit, of course, their children for whom the milk was meant.

This is extremely important. ICE is spending billions to build concentration camps around the US. These will not be used to house "dangerous illegals," but to house anyone who Trump wants to silence.

It’s important to be able to recognise those people for whom facts and values are simply irrelevant. Particularly when they have power.

You wash your hands of the rivers of our blood that you spill, you close your ears to the agonised screams of us victims, you hide your eyes from the callous violence we endure, then unashamedly, you act affronted when held to account for your needless, merciless actions. We are #OneBillionScreams

“Civilization“ was reactionary. For 99% of human existence, forager peoples shared everything, restrained bullies, and maintained equality across age and gender/sex. These restrained primate instincts for dominance and status-seeking. “Civilization“ unleashed the worst and bullies became rulers.

Because profits from my violation matter & I don’t, because the end products of the violence inflicted upon me matter & my pain & suffering doesn’t, because the violent oppressors have power, rights & influence & I don’t, anything done to me is protected & I am not. We are #OneBillionScreams

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...

To enjoy the end products of violent abuse one must ignore what has happened to the individual so you may reduce them to a consumable product. Within this callous, dishonest deception you erase the individual & deny the gratuitous violence that they endured in your name. We are #OneBillionScreams

'If you're going to sanction oppression against one vulnerable voiceless group, it's really just where you draw the line.' - Akber Khan This Harvard Law student explains why animal rights IS social justice. Listen on your fav podcatcher, watch on YouTube, or visit ourhenhouse.org/ep897

🧵 1/2 Rather than doing what’s right, what is ethical, most of us do what’s easy, what’s convenient, what everyone else is doing, regardless of ethics, regardless of justice, regardless of the very real pain & death endured by the victims of our selfish, callous apathy. We are #OneBillionScreams

Whatever we’re doing, it’s not enough.

And people wonder WHY humanity is doomed? Look at all of the victims?

If we ignore injustices that others are subjected to, if we only care about oppression when it’s happening to us, then we clearly don’t care about injustice. It’s not convenient to fight for what’s right, but that’s it, eh? You only care when it inconveniences you We are #OneBillionScreams

The new food pyramid brought to you by the sexual politics of meat www.nytimes.com/2026/01/10/o...

There is no respite for us victims forcibly bred to feed insatiable human greed. There is no reprieve, no amnesty, no reward & no mercy. There is only pain, torture, fear, trauma, disease, separation, suffering & a brutal death at a mere fraction of our potential lifespan We are #OneBillionScreams

Non human sentient beings should be part of every moral conversation. It’s not enough to address them as an afterthought on the rare occasion that someone asks the awkward question. Unthinking, unchallenged anthropocentrism is even more dangerous than explicit anthropocentrism.

I can’t stop thinking about foragers, our ancestors and 99% of our time on earth. Before state & government. Their keys to success: -keep numbers down, -stay mobile, -few possessions, -stifle dominance -share everything. Things to keep in mind as the climate crisis worsens.

Talk about infantile narcissistic injury--it's like the planet is being held hostage by a two year old. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

You who in arrogance decide that killing us is “humane” or our violent abuse is “high welfare” are you who benefit from our exploitation & murder. Your sole consideration is how you feel about condemning us to death as you ignore the only perspective that matters: Ours We are #OneBillionScreams

Why struggle to find meaning in this world when so many sentient beings need our help? #Sentientism

3/3 . . not on dialectical, scientific or ethical grounds, but solely on the basis that they are not homosapiens. Solely so we may exploit, commodify and kill them with impunity. We are #OneBillionScreams

2/3 . . so it follows that they are persons in their own right. Language is anthropocentric & designed to serve only human interests. It acts in ways to prejudicially exclude other animal individuals from its categories and deny them both selfhood, personhood & equal moral consideration, . . .

🧵 1/3 All sentient animals are each unique, autonomous, self determining, individuals, with a conscious awareness of themselves & the world. They are therefore subjects not objects, thus they are not “it”, they are “he” or “she” or “they.” They are each someone, hence they have personhood . . .

Most animals are factory farmed, yet only a small portion of consumers say their meat comes from farms with inhumane conditions. This suggests a stark gap between people's values and the food systems we've set up.

From the moment they’re cognisant, you must condition your children to be indifferent to cruelty lest they judge you for not only your own indifference to cruelty, but your willing participation in systematic, egregious cruelty on an unfathomable scale We are #OneBillionScreams

Even the word "fascism" seems too mild for these people. "We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/u...

We surely have a duty to interrogate the cultural norms we are conditioned to accept. We surely have a duty to not only reject any that cannot be justified, but to fight against them. Social justice has never been advanced one inch by unthinking conformism. We are #OneBillionScreams

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

Veganism is the refusal to support a violent system that prioritizes profit over life and reduces individuals to products and commodities, a direct rejection of exploitation in all its forms.

I think the thing is, we lost touch with reality ages ago.

To assign the right to moral consideration on the basis of species membership rather than upon sentience & whether an individual can suffer & feel pain, is to ignore the most significant moral criteria & act upon arbitrary, prejudicial, self-serving speciesist grounds. We are #OneBillionScreams
