I was going to make this exact point after spending a full day at a pig farm outside London last week. Nobody should be forced to change their diet. But if you're going to support an industry that tortures & mass slaughters animals, at least inform yourself about who they are.
Speaking of which, I'll be in San Francisco this weekend along with Amy Goodman and thousands of brave animal rights activists for the Animal Liberation Conference. Come if you can! sfgate.com/news/bayarea/a…
Pigs are beautiful, gentle, highly social, and incredibly tranquil sentient beings who experience suffering, pain, joy and connection. Factory farming is a moral evil

These 2 tweets from @Gizmodo writer @thetomzone are undeniably false & defamatory: that @mtracey was fired from TYT & is paid by Fox. But since the object of his lies is someone disliked by the cool kids of Brooklyn digital media, there's zero need to correct or retract
When a journalist clique so openly and even explicitly stakes an entitlement to lie about people - in the most demonstrable & blatant ways - provided that the person they're lying about is sufficiently disliked, they deserve all the scorn and loss of credibility they get.
If you're a journalist who sanctions or is too afraid to condemn outright lying by your colleagues because the target of the lies is marginalized or disliked by popular cliques, please don't express bafflement or anger that people hold journalists & journalism in contempt.

At a @DxEverywhere protest at a horrific duck slaughterhouse in Sonoma County. 800 diverse brave activists: dozens rescued from inside, other protesters chained themselves with dying or dead animals from inside
Lots of young, brave activists, chained together, preventing further factory farm atrocities, facing arrest
The real criminality is the systemic torture and slaughter of billions of animals in the cruelest, filthiest, most sadistic conditions. It breaks multiple laws. But the police protect the corporate criminals, & instead arrest those saving lives

Drag an African-American day laborer into the spotlight and try to ruin his life because he made a trivial video about Nancy Pelosi. The only worse part is how you're celebrating yourselves like you did something brave and important. Nauseating.
The justifications being offered by rank-closing journalists to justify a major media outlet having investigated, doxxed and exposed an anonymous day labourer for the crime of posting a mocking video of Nancy Pelosi are almost more repugnant than the journalistic bullying itself.
Can't believe (honestly) that journalists don't see why it's so repellent to unleash the resources of a major news outlet on an obscure, anonymous, powerless, quasi-unemployed citizen for the crime of trivially mocking the most powerful political leaders

Some of you are red-pilled, some of you are not. Some of you don't even know WTF a red pill is. Some of you think you're red-pilled but aren't. So anyway, here are some thoughts. You might feel some discomfort in what I write, so you are free to challenge what I'm saying. /1
My mum has diabetes. She knew there was something up with her, as she was having a funny tingling in her feet. So she went to the doctor. The doctor examined her and said "I think you're starting to get diabetes. It's manageable, but you'll need to...<treatment>...<diet>". /2
So, what do you think my mum did? She look the doctor straight in the eye and said: "Don't be so ridiculous! Of course I haven't got diabetes!" and left the Doctor's surgery annoyed that the doctor hadn't diagnosed her with a condition she felt appropriate for a woman like her /3

It's Day 51 of your Nebraska Legislature, and the first day of all-day debate. The big question is what Legislature will we see today? The lawmaking body that worked thru some disagreements earlier this year or the, knock-around Legislature we saw Thurs?
The big news from Monday's recess was the plan to implement the voter-approved Medicaid Expansion. Long story short: Voters approved it in November 2018 and it will not go live until Oct. 1, 2010. journalstar.com/news/state-and…
Here we go. First thing on the agenda is some more confirmation reports. This one for the NET board, which is as innocuous as the emergency response board. Sen. Justin Wayne, continuing down the war path, asks Sen. Mike Groene what the vetting process was for these individuals.

Full-court press on Trump-Russia collusion began last week of July 2016. Here’s the @lawfareblog 7/27 post that apparently is mentioned in McCabe texts. Same week the Clinton campaign tries to salvage fallout from DNC email hacks, same week Carter Page... lawfareblog.com/trump-russian-…
Starts getting calls from reporters. The same week that Bill Kristol, who hasn’t been right about anything, magically nails down an article in the Weekly Standard with same talking points about Putin and Trump:

Same week FBI opens up Crossfire Hurricane.

Listen to cadres of workers on strike when they tell you that you are in danger because they are underequipped, understaffed, overworked and un(der)paid. Y'all shouted over them with "at least you have a job" "at least you are marketable in any economy". See now. /Thread
I talked a little about this earlier in my first thread about the massively tragic series of unfortunate events that put Mr. Simon Kimani on the table instead of Mr. John Nderitu. I'll put that here for reference.
Another repost for reference is this paper Prof David Ndetei et al wrote about burnout in KNH workers. Here's the link to the whole thing, and a handy screenshot of its alarming conclusion that 95 out of 100 KNH workers are burned out. omicsonline.org/open-access/bu…

This is my travel thread:

I am officially 100% nomadic. I sold everything I own to travel perpetually. First stop: London. From there, I’ll just keep traveling. Namaste 🙏🏼
I really did sell everything I own to travel forever, and I made a video to kick things off. Check it out:
Always take the bottom bunk.

We are dying younger, in part, because of deliberate policy choices made over decades:
• Rejecting universal health care.
• Cutting taxes for the rich.
• Shunning income support.
• Abandoning universal child care.

Those choices increasingly set us apart in the world. #SDoH
