Reminder that shit like this is happening because Trump’s budget cuts to agencies like the FDA. Our food is less regulated now because of his choices as a leader.

Wow it’s almost like “tough on crime” doesn’t actually work and you have to address the root causes

The Trump appointee in charge of grazing policy owns at least 5 cattle operations that will directly benefit from the opening of federal lands to cattle grazing.

@RepAshleyHinson You’re a monster. I’ve never seen someone quite so proud to be part of such horrific abuse. Can’t wait for you to lose your seat over this 😘

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Pigs are among the most intelligent and emotionally complex animals on the planet. Look at the sickening and sadistic conditions in which factory farms keep them.👇

That industry is trying to federalize animal abuse laws to bar bipartisan reforms led by @RepLuna. Please read:

but when we say american kids should be able to eat lunch or people shouldnt go bankrupt to get cancer treatments the reply we get is: “how are we gonna pay for it”

[John LeFevre @JohnLeFevre]

Pigs are smarter than dogs.

They solve puzzles, play video games with joysticks, and can outsmart 3-year-old children on some tests.

Pigs are highly sentient, showing empathy by mirroring others' stress or joy, forming deep bonds of affection and love, and displaying loyalty through long-term memory and trust.

Yet the pork lobby is sneaking the 'Save Our Bacon Act' into the farm bill to lock millions in cruel gestation crates for life.

[Anatoly Karlin 🧲💯 @akarlin]

One or the great moral crises of our days. How we treat pigs with their dog-like intelligence is unconscionable.

One of these people is a published professor of medicine. The other caused a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people.

Sen. Mitch McConnell will receive the best health care money can buy.

The same can't be said for the millions of elderly citizens his age who don't have the affordable health care they need because Sen. McConnell spent his entire career working to block it.

Anthony Rapp: "I don't think it's realistic for Bob Iger and other CEOs to make 27, 35, 200 million dollars a year and expect that the labor that allows them to make that kind of money demands fair wages." https://t.co/ZxyhOOnavK

@HornellNick @sagaftra I likely won’t- and neither will any other actor guest staring or even as series regulars. The platforms are making huge profits while cutting us out. We are just looking to find fairness again. Hope that helps ❤️

[alex whit trewhitt @AlexTrewhitt]

@HornellNick @sagaftra The residuals you mentioned are very different now. Most features and shows are created for streamers. The residual breakdown for that is almost nonexistent. I had an episode of a big streamer get over 80 mil views and haven’t seen a dime of it. The way deals are structured now

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

“I urge us striking at the same time as the writers to change the awful inequity of money and power in film and television. I remember when we went on strike in 1960, the only time writers and actors struck at the same time. That strike got us film residual checks.  A monumental change.

This moment is important and unusual, not to be missed.”

I LITERALLY stopped working on my memo so I could read this indictment.

I am on page 24 and JESUS LUPITA NYONG'O CHRIST.

HOW this man still has the capacity to shock me after everything that's happened, i'll never know.

but I am sitting here *STUNNED*.

This is a side by side of two women gracing the front covers of two well known magazines.

The one on the right we all know is Martha Stewart, age 81. The one on the left is Apo Whang-Od, age 106, a tribal tattooist in a remote province in the Philippines.

There seems to be an unwritten rule which equates beauty with youngness. In an interview, Martha Stewart told the reporter she credits her organic, home-grown, farm-to-table eating, yoga, and actively healthy lifestyle to her youthfulness. While that’s an admirable journey for her, let’s not forget the amount of privilege that kind of lifestyle requires.

On the left is Apo Whang-Od, who is a 106-year-old tribal tattooist in the Philippines. The wisdom she carries in every forehead wrinkle and frown line is stunning. Her eyes are glass, reflecting back all that she’s witnessed over a century of lived experiences. Her tattoos a reminder of the ancestors she seeks to honor.

Both women are beautiful in their own right. But I wish we as women didn’t play into this idea that we have to look younger—and thinner—in order to fit some unrealistic beauty standard which will grant us acceptance and relevance in the world around us.

I’m writing this for any woman who, like me, may have had a punched-gut reaction to seeing an octogenarian in a swimsuit on the cover of a magazine looking more like a woman in her forties or fifties: Anti-aging is not a beauty standard.

There IS beauty in wrinkles, and saggy skin, and drooping breasts. These are markers of a life hard fought for and well lived. It seems odd to try and erase these battle scars.

So while I applaud Martha for her fortunate body, carefully curated procedures, and pristinely styled makeup, I also applaud Whang-Od for what others may perceive as imperfections.

Anti-aging is not a beauty standard.
Authenticity is.

The very same Texas Republicans who made it possible to carry a gun in public without a permit or training, now want to mandate that all third graders learn “battlefield trauma care," in school.

They want to teach children as young as 8 years old how to apply tourniquets and chest seals in class.

While making it possible for just about anyone to carry a gun at the same time.

How completely f*cked up is that?
