never forget when rand paul sat on the senate floor and railed against federal funding to study the screwworm’s reproductive cycle as wasteful 😌

California voted 63 percent to ban this. Massachusetts voted 78 percent. The industry sued and lost at the Supreme Court.

So they slipped a provision into the House farm bill to void both votes and block every future state from trying. One lobbying campaign undoing two supermajority referendums.

The largest beneficiary is Smithfield - owned by a Chinese company. Congress is being asked to override American voters to protect a Chinese corporation's factory farming practices.

84 percent of Americans called this unacceptable in polling. The Senate gets to decide if that number means anything.

The FBI explicitly stopped tracking Neo-Nazis & their ilk in 2025. The San Diego massacre is on Kash Patel

Strange how neo-Nazis and white supremacists do not make it into the White House Counterterrorism strategy

Seems very bad that the pork industry and the Trump admin are trying to ban basic animal cruelty laws.

Some states banned inhumane practices like gestation crates & overcrowding. They're trying to sneak the 'Save Our Bacon Act' into the farm bill to kill those state-level bans.

The Trump administration has denied federal protections for the monarch butterfly.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

The Trump administration has scrapped all protections for a critically endangered whale species known as the Rice's whale, allowing oil and gas drilling in their natural habitat.

The regulatory meeting dooming the 50 remaining Rice's whales lasted just 15 minutes.

There have been only four Black congressmen elected to the U.S. House from Louisiana since Reconstruction.

They’re all in this photo.

The conservative Supreme Court gave the presidency to Bush, gave Trump immunity from his crimes and just gutted the VRA to help Republicans win the midterms btw.

[Steven Pinker @sapinker]

It may be unrealistic to expect the world to become vegetarian (at least not until synthetic meat is produced at scale), but that doesn't mean we must treat farm animals with vicious cruelty. Small protections can reduce massive harm at tolerable costs. Tell your senator to vote NO on the Farm Bill if it includes the "#SaveOurBacon Act."

@NotWoofers There’s definitely some kind of astroturfing going on. Maybe the meatpackers lobby activated some bots to countersignal against Billie Eilish

"Vegan diets are always too expensive!"

FALSE

Nutritionally equivalent vegan and vegetarian diets in high-income and upper-middle-income countries are on average ~25% lower than meat-inclusive benchmark diets.

@shadowy_vistas @Benthamsbulldog It does imply a possible “vegan cannibal” type of person. Surely at least a few of those in history.

[ꉓꍏꃴꍏꈤꍏꁅꃅ @SamCavanagh3]

@ahmedPsta9 Vegan diets are definitionally cheaper than omnivore diets, because it takes more energy to produce the same amount of calories from meat compared to plants. https://t.co/PQPDoQqOeA

veganism is anti-capitalism.

and agriculture has a lot of cruelty in its farming and labor practices, but we could reduce that cruelty and environmental harm by not feeding 80% of it to livestock

[dead boy tj @biheretic]

The fake “I’m not vegan because I respect indigenous communities” thing drives me crazy like what about the indigenous communities having their land burned down in the Amazon for illegal cattle ranching?
