Definitely worth reading this thread. Thank you @Liv_Boeree for your strong voice on this critical issue!
He is correct... and one of the most egregious examples of crony capitalism is the corrupt alliance between the Chinese-owned Smithfield Foods and senators like @SenJoniErnst , who are trying to push through a backhanded deal to FORCE gestation-crated pork back onto states which have already voted to ban it. Pay attention to the "Farm Bill" they're trying to sneak in through Brooke Rollins - it's a complete f-you to Republican values of states' rights of self determination, it hurts small farmers, and it is terrible for American health.

She’s right.
This is so f*cked. If someone kept a dog or cat like this for even a few hours people would lose their minds. Yet this law would force these animals live like this for YEARS. Unimaginable evil.

Thank you, @VivekGRamaswamy. Animal cruelty should be a non-partisan political issue and is already one that ordinary Americans care deeply about, no matter their party affiliation.
Animal cruelty will eventually become a genuine concern for conservatives. It’s already happening. Count me in.

Huge news from @Starbucks. Potentially a monumental advancement in further mainstreaming plant-based milks.

@GBraggsJr23 I believe she cleverly negotiated to let you pull her tooth out if you promised the tooth fairy would deliver her a DJ Moore-contract amount of cash under her pillow. Pay up @GBraggsJr23.

.@sarahelake makes a powerful case for government and corporate support for helping consumers eat more plant-based foods. Tremendous talk!

Really enjoyed watching this. It's not easy to make a film that's enjoyable and inspiring to folks who are deep into working to make the lives of animals better and folks who happen to, well, just like animals. I think the director pulled it off very well!

Just finished this profound book by @AustinFrerick about the “Barons” who control much of our food system. Wondering how workers, the environment, animals, and family farmers have been exploited by big food corporations? It’s in here, with a hopeful clarion call for change.

Check out this new book from @maisiegreen! I was honored to be interviewed for it and, MUCH more importantly, Maisie is one of the true trailblazers and heroes in creating a more humane food system.

If you're one of the many people watching this new @Netflix show, you'll remember seeing Dr. Michael Greger (@nutrition_facts) featured extensively. So much of what he talks about is in his New York Times best seller, "How Not to Age." It's worth reading IMO!

Thank you @JuiceHerbert for caring about animals and for speaking out on their behalf. I think so many of us have had dogs in our lives who've inspired us to help make the world a more humane place for all animals.

@AaronLemingNFL Hey, as someone who enjoys following your Bears work, I just want to say thank you so much more for your compassion and kindness to animals. I’m so sorry for the loss of Chips. I hope you know the difference you made in her life at the end. Thank you for sharing her story.

.@PeterSinger's first edition of Animal Liberation inspired me to look at animals--and advocate for them--in a way that changed my life. (I still remember reading it on the way to my college baseball game.) I just purchased his updated version of the classic. I highly recommend.
