"Shocking new footage reveals the hidden reality behind greyhound racing in Queensland.
Her name was Tarawi Minnie. She deserved a loving home, but instead, undercover footage captured her being dragged into a vet clinic, only to end up dead in a freezer hours later.
She is just one of 216 greyhounds who were killed in Queensland in 2024 due to being deemed ‘unrehomable’. By comparison, the largest racing state, NSW, had 17 dogs killed in that category. The QLD racing industry wants you to look away, but we’re standing up"

Congenital tremor 💔This is not often shown by pig fharmers however it happens way more often than they will admit. This little piglet will most probably be killed by smashing the head on the concrete wall or floor 👺#EndTheAnimalHolocaust #GoVegan stop the atrocities don’t be complicit 🌱 https://t.co/GsQBdwZMnO

Hurling F-bombs at an 85-year-old scientist who won’t fight back doesn’t make you tough. Staying silent after your own daughter accused Rep. Max Miller of holding a gun to her head, pushing her against a wall, and fracturing your granddaughter’s collarbone makes you a coward.

So if I purchase a DVD and digitize it, that’s copyright infringement. But if an AI company buys my book and scans it to train their system, that’s perfectly fine? Once again, corporations are allowed to play by their own rules. I’m so sick of the hypocrisy.

This economy is whooping everybody’s asş. Please DO NOT feel embarrassed about your financial situation right now. A lot of people are struggling, and we’re all just doing the best we can to get through it.

MISSOURI — Nixon and Glendy, a couple living in Overland until they were deported last year were found bound, gagged, and murdered in a sugarcane field in southern Guatemala. Their 14 month-old was found crying behind her mother's corpse. Candlelight vigil is planned at Overland City Hall on Aug 2 at 6PM: https://t.co/nmoNi8dtwE

The full story here is NUTS 🤯

TLDR dude hikes 6.5 hours to avoid a helicopter medical bill impaled while his friends make kebab jokes…

> 32yo ER nurse named David is day-hiking Montana’s tallest mountain with his boys

> He slips on a rock near the top and full-on impales himself on his own trekking pole that goes clean through his lat with like 8 inches sticking out both sides

> nurse brain kicks in immediately, checks himself, realizes nothing vital got hit and he can still breathe fine
says screw the helicopter bill and just starts hiking the entire 10 miles back down with the pole still stuck in him

> takes SIX AND A HALF hours, friends are spotting him the whole way, one even runs ahead to warn families so kids don’t see this gnarly shit

> about 4 miles from the car they realize they’re actually gonna make it… and start cracking kebab jokes 😂

> dude never complained once, stayed in weirdly high spirits the whole time

> walks himself all the way to the trailhead, gets the pole pulled out later at the hospital, and already says he’s going back next year to finish the summit

Animal-free science isn't a dream for the future—it's already here 👏

Human-relevant methods exist. They're faster, superior, plus they don't force animals to suffer in laboratories.

A white woman called a Black child a nigger, raised $750k in a week, and was invited to speak at a “Freedom of Speech” rally called the 'Nigger March.' This is a reminder that racism and hatred are still very much alive and well in America.

Brazil has banned the production and sale of foie gras — the second country in the world to do so.

Its Congress voted unanimously to recognize force feeding as illegal animal cruelty.

It would be illegal in France too — the world's largest producer — if France didn't exempt force feeding from its cruelty laws as a protected "cultural" practice.

French diplomats allegedly lobbied Brazil's president to veto the ban. He stood his ground.

This is thanks to years of hard work by Brazilian animal advocates. Now let's ban foie gras everywhere.

[Black Journals @blackJournals01]

On this day in 1919, a Black teenager drifted across an invisible line in Lake Michigan. White beachgoers stoned him until he drowned. He was 17.

His name was Eugene Williams. The "line" was the unofficial boundary between the white and Black sections of a Chicago beach. A line drawn on WATER.

Police arrived. Black witnesses pointed out the man who had thrown the stones. The officer refused to arrest him and arrested a Black man from the crowd instead.

That refusal lit Chicago on fire. Thirteen days of white mobs raiding Black neighborhoods, and Black veterans fighting back: 38 dead, 537 injured, roughly 1,000 Black families burned out of their homes.

It began because a child couldn't see a border that existed only in white minds.

This is why we have documented 150 crimes against Black people that remain unanswered for https://t.co/V6OJtayKnF

@kylegriffin1 I’ll play along… If you’re not medically cleared to leave rehab and return to your job after being absent for more than a month, you need to vacate your seat. The end.

It's been a week since the body of 14 year old Zane Johnson was found in a river. Interesting the difference in how Black advocates and media report about our missing children. Nolan Wells goes missing and Whites are involved. The media is involved. But Zane represents over 193,000 missing Black children under 18 in the US. Where was his national coverage? What happened to

[KATY PERRY @katyperry]

I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.

I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for.

My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.
