Calling a Black POTUS married 25 yrs to 1 wife with 2 children, no mistresses, affairs or scandals, ‘the antichrist’ but a white POTUS married thrice, 5 kids by 3 women, mistresses, affairs & scandals, ‘God‘s anointed,’ proves your religion is white supremacy.

@MissFlyByNight What now? You know best!

This pig's first morning of freedom at @DeanFarmTrust Animal Sanctuary! 🤗

Most pigs don't have it so lucky, but RT to celebrate this little one. 🧡

The sanctuary is asking for name suggestions. What do you suggest for him?! 🐷

"I'm so sorry they took your baby"

The heartbreaking reality of #dairy, where mother cows' babies are taken from them over and over, causing repeated trauma. 💔

A good reason to #DitchDairy and choose #plantbased milk instead. RT if you agree.

Autonomous cars and Hyperloop nerds are trying to solve a problem that trains fixed over 100 fucking years ago.

The problem is that US automakers sabotaged the railroad industry to sell more cars

I feel like we have been so fucked we do t know which way is up

@nharmertaylor That is tragic, Nathan. I'm so sorry.

A cogent, powerful explanation of why sentientism--which acknowledges the rights of all sentient beings--is the way forward. Goodbye, humanism. Goodbye, speciesism. https://t.co/LCci7Ev3sf

A few days late...take a listen anyway! I can't imagine my life without Pops!

‘No matter what people say; we painters work better in the country, everything there speaks more clearly, everything holds firm, everything explains itself’, wrote Vincent to his sister Willemien. Nature reminded him that he was part of something bigger. https://t.co/8mWHtYoz3m

@authoreddyhood When I'm well enough, I BINGE READ. No better way to become a better writer than to read--plus, it's FUN! #readtowrite

Revision: Diversity includes white men who are afraid they are not supermen. They have the right to feel however they feel. The issue is when they act on it. Hate women, gays, POC, non-Christians? Ok, but you don't get to harm them or take away their rights. I hate potato chips.

[Leah Ray @LRStoryteller]

I want Nazis/White Supremacists out of America. We are a democracy. We must stand for diversity and equal rights. Only weak, sick egomaniacs need to be told they are "supermen." #NoToNazis

@LeeSwaneyBeReal I'm betting I'm the only one gonna go with Fats Waller singing Your Feets Too Big...the film of him performing it is on YouTube, wink!

So Trump is a meteorologist now? Sorry, but just sleeping with someone named “Stormy” doesn’t make you a weather expert. https://t.co/5677ZGw6FC

Go, go, go! I'm even more radical now at 61 than I was at 16!
