“Musk wants to promote a worldview that is right-wing, nationalistic, rather white... and he’s got the means to do it.”
“He controls the algorithm, amplifies politicians he likes, the platform then pays those politicians according to their engagement.”

And the mass (unnecessary) slaughter of BILLIONS of farm animals globally every year is "normal" apparently. All of which harms animals, the environment, our health and puts us at risk of another pandemic. Human lives matter but we need to also respect the lives of animals #vegan
The genocide of Jewish people called “holocaust”
The genocide of the Irish people called “famine”
The genocide of Native Americans called “discovery”
The genocide of Africans called “colonization”
The genocide of Palestinian called “self-defense”
The genocide of Lebanese called “security threat”
Language matters. A genocide is unjustifiable wherever happens. Never again
Had the privilege of seeing the Rukara gorilla family in Bwindi recently. Money paid for permit goes towards supporting guides, rangers & trackers helping to conserve these wonderful animals. Money also goes to supporting local communities. Thanks also @vivacampaigns
There are just over 1,000 mountain gorillas left in the wild, and nearly half of these can be found in Uganda. They need our support. 🦍 Invest in the people protecting one of the world's last mountain gorilla populations.

🐷 How much do we really know about what happens inside Britain’s factory farms?
We’ve been working on something for a long time.
On 1 September, we’ll reveal a story hidden behind the closed doors of Britain’s factory farming industry.
Follow us to see what comes next.
❗️ Sign our new petition calling on the Government to end factory farming by 2040: https://t.co/NXxToFJ9OK
What if farming smarter meant giving land back to the wild? 🌾 Wild grasslands once stretched far and wide. Now, most of that land has been damaged by intensive farming.
But there's a path back: helping farmers adopt practices that are better for nature, making sure the meat we eat comes from sustainable sources, and looking to new technologies or alternative foods to help ease the pressures of food production.
Smarter land use means more opportunity for wild grasslands to return and thrive. How do you play your part at home?

Cows make milk for their babies. That’s the only reason milk exists. We take that milk by force after forcibly impregnating her, taking her calf away, and doing it again and again until she can't, then we kill her. This is dairy.

Palestinians force to leave and Israeli settlers move in. This is a pattern being repeated in villages across the Jordan Valley in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
We're in Mu’arrajat, which until a week ago had a population of around 500 people.
It's a two-way street. If people are skint, they can't spend. No money for food, no money for fun - and that means no money to keep the economy moving. But here’s the thing: while millions struggle, a tiny few hoard more wealth than they could ever spend in ten lifetimes. That’s not just unfair - it’s bad economics.
Want a healthy economy? Tax the hoarders. Share the wealth. Watch the economy grow.
Talking about animal abuse in the meat, dairy and egg industries makes people uncomfortable. That’s exactly why we have to talk about it. Nothing changes if no one speaks.
If everyone was vegan, would we have had the COVID-19 pandemic? Guess we'll never truly know but surely would have made it much less likely to happen... #govegan
Historical Pandemics & Their Origins
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), three out of four emerging infectious human diseases originate in animals.
Maybe it's a sign that we should stop exploiting animals 🙅 The consequences are huge 💔
Today, the government blocked the establishment of an independent, public inquiry into the UK’s complicity in genocide.
This isn’t over. We will uncover the truth, and bring about justice for the Palestinian people. https://t.co/52HARZQwHC
