Factory farming thrives in the dark. That’s why speaking about it MATTERS. ✊️ #KnowledgeIsPower

In 2018, Mercy For Animals teamed up with advocacy organizations to expose the reality of driftnets. Shortly after the release of our investigation, California passed a bill to phase out large-mesh driftnets in state waters.

I am proud and thankful to have served in the U.S. House of Representatives with my friend Thomas Massie, a giant among weak pathetic men.
Releasing the Epstein files was our demise.
But it was worth every single bit because now everyone knows the truth.
You are ruled by the Epstein class that cares nothing about you and your elected leaders are bought and controlled by a foreign lobby.
Tonight the future of the Republican Party was destroyed.
The Real America First Movement will rise led by the younger generations, who hate the old guard with an unquenchable passion.
Let us pray that we have a country left by the time these creatures are gone.

TRENDING: Indiana superstar quarterback Fernando Mendoza's post-game interview has gone viral across social media.
One of the all-time great interviews you will ever see.

Our 2025 Person of the Year is Jane Goodall.
The renowned primate expert, vegan, & animal advocate devoted her life to reshaping how humans perceive other animals and inspired so many to care for others.
Honor her life by being vegan, just like Jane 🤍

She wears a black turtleneck and a patterned shawl with orange-and-black butterfly wings, and holds a small stuffed chimpanzee. Text reads: “Dr. Jane Goodall has been named PETA’s 2025 Person of the Year!” with small sparkle icons.

Animal rights doesn't mean cows should vote.
It means if it's wrong to torture and exploit your dog, it's also wrong to commodify and exploit chickens, cows, fish, and pigs. It's about moral consistency and rejecting speciesism.

1/ The first time I saw a red error message, I thought I broke everything.
Turns out—it was just the computer trying to help me.

We’re heartbroken by the passing of Loretta Swit—Emmy-winning star of M*A*S*H and a tireless champion for animals of all species. She was a devoted vegan, a fierce advocate for spay & neuter, & a voice for animals in shelters, labs, & in nature. Her work will live on forever 🤍

#TheUnityMovement contains many factions--including #MAGA.
Here are some others:
1) The AntiWar movement
2) #MAHA
3) Silicon Valley renegades opposed to ESG madness
4) Politically homeless liberals
5) Real environmentalists
6) Libertarians
7) Bitcoiners
8) The medical freedom movement
9) Family oriented conservatives and others focused on protecting children,
10) Minorities who want a level playing field
11) Constitutionalists and those concerned about the surrendering of national sovereignty
12) People concerned about government control of speech and information
13) People who fear the homeland is being made vulnerable
14) People concerned about rampant corruption
15) Common sense conservatives
MAGA is mostly working class people who were economically betrayed and abandoned by the Democratic elite--especially since the Clinton administration. It has a special place in the Unity Movement because it was an effective political force all on its own.
Yes, the Republican Party has been very corrupt, and that element remains and must be addressed. But the Blue Team MUST be defeated in 2024 to Rescue the Republic and save the West.
Add any factions you think I have missed in the replies. Please share and use #RescueTheRepublic. Time is short. We need to get it trending to spread the word!
I hope that helps.

How do people not see?
Zuckerberg ADMITS our government forced his censorship of real news.
France arrests Pavel for not sharing private citizens data.
Brazil bans X for not censoring & limiting political opponents.
UK arrests citizens for speech they don’t like…
People wake up.
There is only one way this ends.
Read your history, 1984, Brave New World.
And someone protect Elon.

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE
Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.
This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.
After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.
WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.
As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.
Julian's freedom is our freedom.

Dr. John Robb speaks up for our pets!
Over-vaccinating and the overdosing of pet vaccines has become a global issue. 5 lbs dogs are receiving the same dose of the rabies vaccine as 150 lbs Great Danes, and vets are now witnessing terrible side effects.

Had a great time putting this perspective piece together with @LukeThompson on the present and future promises of environmental genomics for marine applications!
A perspective article by me and @peter_thielen entitled "Decoding dissolved information: environmental DNA sequencing at global scale to monitor a changing ocean" is now published in Current Opinion in Biotechnology.
