@SenatorHick You’ve been in Colorado politics for almost 30 years, and you’re blaming Trump?

Why didn’t you solve the water crisis? You fossilized impotent fool.

A donkey skin sells in Kenya for $130. Boiled into a Chinese beauty product called ejiao, it becomes part of an $8 billion industry. Almost 6 million donkeys are killed every year to feed it. The finished products are sold on Amazon.

Ejiao is a kind of gelatin made by simmering donkey skin for hours. It's mixed into face creams, anti-aging pills, candies, and tonics. Even China's own health regulator has admitted ejiao is just boiled donkey skin. No clinical trials show that it works. But a hit Chinese TV drama called Empress in the Palace put it back in fashion around 2012. The country's growing middle class started taking it for anemia, fatigue, miscarriage, even premature aging.

Donkeys can't reproduce that fast. A female donkey is pregnant for 12 full months and has just one foal at a time. She doesn't start breeding until age two or three. So when Chinese demand exploded, China's own donkey population collapsed from 11 million in 1992 to under 2 million by 2020.

The hunt then went global. Africa has roughly 33 million donkeys, two-thirds of the world's supply. Botswana's donkey population has halved since 2016. In Kenya, government-approved slaughterhouses killed about half the country's donkeys in three years. According to The Donkey Sanctuary, 41% of African donkey owners surveyed had at least one animal stolen.

Donkeys are walked for weeks across borders, denied food and water, until they collapse. They're hit on the head with sledgehammers. Their throats are slit. Some are still breathing when they're skinned. A 2017 PETA investigation in China found foals as young as 5 months old killed this way. Up to one in five donkeys dies before reaching the slaughterhouse.

In February 2024, all 55 African Union countries voted to ban the trade for 15 years across the continent. China is Africa's biggest trading partner. The continent banned this trade anyway. The Donkey Sanctuary still projects demand will hit 6.8 million skins a year by 2027. Within weeks of the ban, donkey theft spiked across Africa. The trade went underground. Chinese companies are now in talks to set up donkey farms in Pakistan instead.

A donkey in rural Africa is often a family's only way to fetch water, carry goods to market, and send kids to school. When it gets stolen overnight, the women and children become the donkey. They walk further with heavier loads. The girls drop out of school first.

The donkey in this photo is leaning against a wall because it's exhausted. The industry on its back is worth $8 billion.

The pork industry lost with voters. Lost at the Supreme Court. So they turned to Congress—and got the "Save Our Bacon" Act buried in the House Farm Bill. It's the biggest rollback of animal welfare protections in U.S. history. A thread. 🧵

Here’s Mayor Pete announcing the Biden administration’s decision to fight the Jet Blue and Spirit merger so they could protect consumers and ensure low fares. Now the airline doesn’t exist and passengers are stranded across the country.

Most pigs you eat in the US have never seen dirt. Most pork in the US is factory farmed by foreign companies. They are not treated well. This farm bill is going to give big Ag more leeway over the small amount of states that have at least made an attempt to make sows lives better. Please call and have your representative vote no on the farm bill. Pigs deserve better. You deserve better pork. There are other options!!

[Jeff Sebo @jeffrsebo]

This is a pivotal moment not only for sparing millions of pigs from torture, but also for testing whether any meaningful regulation of industrial animal agriculture—an industry that devastates animal welfare, public health, and the environment—will be possible in our country in the near future.

Please call your representatives today, and ask them to kill the Farm Bill.

[NothingIsArt @NothingIsArt]

The worst day of my life would be the best day of these animals’ lives. Most humans have not even scratched the surface of suffering.

[Marianne Frost @mariannefrosty]

Kill the bill and free the pigs. This is severe animal cruelty.

[Tomi Lahren @TomiLahren]

The Farm Bill CANNOT include the so-called “Save Our Bacon Act” which is nothing but a gift to foreign owned corporate farms that torture pigs to squeeze a few extra cents out of their margins. NO!

This ain’t gonna fly! We will push!!!!

[Andy Masley @AndyMasley]

The situation with pig farming specifically makes me feel so bleak. In a sane world it'd be so easy to get sign-off on not torturing a hundred million pigs each year. They're each obviously as smart as a dog. But there's almost no reaction to this and it's drowned out by jokes.

We need to say goodbye to:
Fur farms

Compassion isn’t optional. It's overdue.

After doing some digging into the proposed budget for Colorado, it's alarming what our tax dollars are going to. Here's a few: 

Taxpayer-funded abortions doubled in just one year. Over FY25-26, we will have paid $2,928,800. This is projected to double the following year to $5,857,600. 

The Office of Gun Violence Prevention gets a little over 3 million a year. 

Immigration Legal Defense takes $350k of our tax dollars! 

As of right now, we are still in a $500 million deficit from the statutorily required 15% reserve. This comes after extensive cuts.

Well, would you look at that? Thanks to the Fb group that publicized the decisions of this committee with names and faces. Less likely to forget.

Vote them out.

In Colorado, you can rape a child and get probation instead of prison. A bill to change that just failed — for the third year in a row. Four Democrats voted it down. 4 to 3.

For the third consecutive year, Colorado lawmakers have killed a bill that would have required prison time for convicted child rapists. Senate Bill 26-111, titled "Protections Against Child Rape," was voted down 4-3 on a party-line vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 18, 2026. The four Democrats who blocked it: Adrienne Benavidez, Nick Hinrichsen, Katie Wallace, and Mike Weissman.

Under current Colorado law, a person convicted of sexually assaulting a child can be sentenced to probation instead of prison. The bill would have eliminated that option for certain Class 3 and Class 4 felony child sexual assault cases. It was sponsored by Republican Senator Janice Rich, with bipartisan House support from Republican Brandi Bradley and Democrat Regina English. Bradley said on record: "In our state, in Colorado, you can rape multiple children as long as it's only one time and receive probation."

The same type of bill was killed in 2024 (8-3) and 2025 (6-5). This was the narrowest version yet — and it still failed. One of the four lawmakers who voted against it, Senator Hinrichsen, is also the lead sponsor of a bill to decriminalize prostitution in Colorado. Both bills went through the same committee.
