I am here doing my small part to fight against reactionary extremist forces. Focus on news, politics, philosophy, and critical thinking.

If one’s religion calls for them to intentionally cause pain to a living being they should carefully consider their morality.

[PROTECT ALL WILDLIFE @Protect_Wldlife]

Well done Greece 🇬🇷.

Greece’s highest court has issued a landmark ruling: animals must be made unconscious before they are killed.

This ends a long-standing exemption that allowed slaughter while animals were still fully aware. The court based its decision on animal welfare law and said the goal is to reduce suffering at the moment of death.

In plain terms, animals cannot be killed while they are awake and able to feel pain. Any slaughter method that skips the step of making the animal unconscious is affected. That includes some halal and kosher practices, though not all halal methods avoid stunning. Slaughter remains legal, but the animal must not be conscious when it happens.

Supporters call this a major step toward reducing cruelty and updating animal protection standards. Critics say it interferes with religious traditions and the freedom to practice them. The court chose to prioritize animal welfare, saying preventing unnecessary suffering comes first under current law.

Whether people agree or not, the message is clear: if animals are killed for food, it must be done in a way that reduces pain and fear as much as possible. Many say this change is long overdue and reflects what we now understand about animal suffering.

This can’t go on. The federal government needs reigned in.

A judge found probable cause to investigate Alex’s death as a murder and DHS blocked the police from accessing the scene anyway

[capitolhunters @capitolhunters]

@zhihuachen It's important to realize: this incident was not about fear. The contempt, the "fucking bitch" - that's hatred and anger, not fear. And that's why DHS released this video themselves. Because they thought others would hate these women too. 10/

Trump when he sees a 14 year old girl

Jack Smith would’ve easily won the J6 case against Donald Trump using only Republican witnesses. It’s a shame that our country has to live with this stain.

[Kate Levchuk @KateGoesTech]

Kristina will never go to a prom. She will never meet the love of her life. She will never get to see the world & learn new hobbies. She will always stay 4 years old because a demented old fuck decided we need to go back to the time of Ruriks.

[Notorious PJB @PJBrizzle]

In one of the most repulsive shifts yet, MAGAs have begun EXCUSING pedophilia as the evidence against Trump continues to grow. I don’t think anyone had THIS on their Bingo card 🤦‍♂️.

Yes, it’s a dangerous cult.

[The Possum Politic™ @PossumPolitic]

This is the kind of post that easily gets MAGA worked up because at first glance it appears non white families get a lot of aid. Look again - this means if you're an Afghan household. 45.6% receive aid. The overall number of Afghan households is small, while the number of "White" households is huge, so 8.6% of a big number means White households are the biggest users of food stamps.
@MilaLovesJoe probably knows this but posts the graphic anyway as she knows MAGA won't look into it further.

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

Yesterday, Trump said he wants to “eliminate autism,” while his first official said autism in children “is hard to watch” before RFK Jr. called it “an epidemic” and described cases of “full-blown autism.” This isn’t just offensive. It’s DANGEROUS. Autism is not a fucking disease.

[Nathan @ndbizer]

This whole thread is great! The conservatives broadly speaking do indeed indoctrinate their children, I was once an indoctrinated child myself. What’s really frustrating is how they just don’t see it.

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

Republicans accuse us of “indoctrinating children with our liberal politics.” Meanwhile, here are their kids:

Trump and Vance bought shares in a company that buys farmland (foreclosed) 3 months ago.
So did Lutnick, Bessent, and a few others.
Cool game, huh??

[Ania_In_UA @Ania_In_UA]

Trump is very inconsistent with his attitude towards monsters who kill Ukrainians. Some he condemns. Some he admires.

[Steven Hildreth, Jr. 🇺🇦🟢☀️🔴🇬🇪 @StevenHildreth]

Watching MAGA--who have enabled & cheered on russia's war crimes--suddenly decide to "care" about Ukrainians over Iryna Zarutska's murder is sick.

It's opportunism to promote racism & frame support for Ukraine as performative.

Fuck MAGA.

RIP to & justice for Ms. Zarutska.

[Tatarigami_UA @Tatarigami_UA]

Reminder: the account that posted a photo said to show Iryna Zarutska, with a BLM poster in the background, drew 18 million views. In May 2025, France’s defense and security secretariat tied this account to Storm-1516, a state-backed Russian disinfo group. But there’s more:

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

It's weird how MAGA has no problem with Putin murdering innocent Ukrainians on a daily basis, including children — yet are appalled by the murder of Iryna Zarutska. I hope it's not because it was a Black man who did the killing, instead of their white mass-murdering superhero.

[david D. @secretsqrl123]

the trump admin has just ordered the vast majority of US military museums closed!!
going from 41 to just 16...
the full list is not out yet and they are trying to keep it quiet.
one of the museums that is named is the san antonio military museum. and now that the CMH does not have the storage space for the items they will probably be disposed of by scrapping...
BUT the USAF is moving ahead with the 1 billion dollar upgrade for trump force 1 (that he gets to keep after he leaves office) , and the 100 million dollar change in the department of defense.... fuck that
FUCK THE PLANE, use the money to save history!!!!
did you vote for this?????

[Dave Troy @davetroy]

1/Russia and Thiel are done with Trump: Khanna, Massie, Greene, Boebert, Mace, Sherman, McGovern sign discharge petition to force release of Epstein files; will create significant public pressure for dirt on Trump, which will likely be difficult to fulfill.

[capitolhunters @capitolhunters]

The techbro takeover of the US continues: while CDC employees "clap out" their principled leaders who resigned, Trump swears in a 2-decade Peter Thiel advisor to lead CDC. Thiel's Palantir already has all your data. He controls your VP. Now he controls your public health too. 1/

On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout.

On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar.

This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media. Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵
