I wrote about animal welfare and the right to rescue animals from inhumane factory farms.

And about how vegans are right. (I’m not a vegan.)

But on the incomprehensible cruelty of industrial farming? They’re so, so right.

The #pork industry is using the Supreme Court to attack California’s Proposition 12 so it can continue to confine mother pigs in cages so small they're unable to turn around. This week, dozens of experts and organizations filed briefs supporting the law. https://t.co/pgwKa7K9Mb

[Humane World Farm Animals @humaneworldfarm]

The cruel #pork industry is suing so that it can continue to lock mother pigs in cages so small they can't turn around, despite voters’ overwhelming opposition. Today, we made the case for animals and public health in the Supreme Court https://t.co/v2SW7eiPoB

The US Senate *just* passed the inflation reduction act. Overall, funding for renewable energy seems to make it a net win for climate. But it increases oil/gas leasing & infrastructure, and also could lead to *additional* agricultural emissions. A 🧵 1/N https://t.co/f5kAin2k0p

"Empowerment is about more than just individuals, but what needs to happen at a societal level, what we need to do in terms of legislation, at your school...I want people to feel hopeful"

[Data for Progress @DataProgress]

NEW POLL: California’s Prop 12 took a major step to protect farm animals from cruel confinement. 80% of voters want to prevent farm animal cruelty — and a strong majority want to see animal protection measures from both politicians and corporations.

BREAKING: The @EdLaborCmte just passed the “Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids Act” including measures to expand access to healthy, #plantbased meal options!

Thank you to @BobbyScott @RepBonamici @RepBowman @NydiaVelazquez for their leadership

EPA has the authority to protect communities from harmful pollution from factory farms — yet @EPAMichaelRegan has so far refused to stand up for #EnvironmentalJustice. So, today 200+ groups are calling him out. https://t.co/wbG7R9wjnu

[New Roots Institute @newrootsinst]

Changing the default option to plant-based has been shown time and time again to increase the take rates of plant-based foods, and is an incredibly effective way to reduce consumption of animal products! @defaultveg this is a huge win!

“There’s been a lot of investments into electric vehicles, wind turbines & solar panels, but we have not seen comparable investment [in alt. proteins]. If you really care about impact as an investor, this is an area that you definitely need to understand.” https://t.co/uxg2TPDPZ8

Plant-based meat by far the best climate investment, report finds https://t.co/CGHXMaaXzm

Amy Halpern-Laff, policy director of Factory Farming Awareness Coalition, also a cosponsor, added, “We join our cosponsors in appreciation of Assemblymembers Nazarian and Kalra. We hope California’s model will inspire other states to provide plant-based school lunch options.”
