You'd be shocked to discover how many products you use are not cruelty free. Many companies that claim to be cruelty free still profit by selling to countries that require animal testing. Here are sites where you can find humane alternatives. Please share widely (list).

Saying that what happened on January 6, 2021 was not an insurrection is like saying the Hollocaust never happened. They both happened. Fact.
Coincidentally, world leaders have compared Donald Trump to Hitler, and Donald Trump defended neo-Nazis. Fact.

Never forget January 6, 2021.
A running list of things Republican leaders have said about insurrectionist Donald Trump and the modern @GOP:
“My, how the mighty have fallen and sunken to the lowest of lows that Donald Trump is your savior."

Republican leaders and experts have warned that @realDonaldTrump is a "one-man crime wave," "liar," "racist," "sexist," "fraud," and "blowhard" who "doesn't know what it means to be president." This isn't about Dems, a hoax, or "deep state." It's about Trump.
You can argue about Democrats until you're blue in the face, Trump supporters, but you can't argue against the words of your own party leaders and experts.

With one outrage always burying the next, too many people forget @realDonaldTrump 's abuses and what even @GOP leaders have said about him. Here is an ongoing thread about his crimes and transgressions.
.@realDonaldTrump invited Russia to hack our election. This is illegal election tampering. Foreign hacking is also an act of war. Inviting a foreign nation to commit an act of war against your own country is treason.
Connect the dots on @realDonaldTrump , Russia, and the @NRA (thread):
Trump's son said they got all the money they needed from Russia.

Just so we're on the same page (thread):
- The GOP blocked efforts to protect Mueller
- The GOP twice blocked efforts to release the Mueller report
- The GOP president hired a man with glaring conflicts of interest and a predetermined outcome, and who previously mis-characterized legal opinion, to oversee the Mueller investigation and its public release

World leaders compared Trump to Hitler. A senior Trump official warned he endangers America. 50 GOP national security experts said Trump's unfit. US intelligence members warned Trump is not a king. Psychiatrists warned Trump is dangerous and unfit. When will the @GOP listen?
North Korea Says Donald Trump Is Like Hitler
.@Alyssa_Milano makes a strong point about the connection between @realDonaldTrump 's #MAGA hats and KKK white hoods. It's a point that can't be ignored. (thread)
If MAGA hats are not analogous in many ways to the Klan's white hoods, why does former KKK grand wizard David Duke hold the #MAGA hat boy out as a symbol to rally around by having his picture on his Twitter header?
I call on the @UN to investigate the @realDonaldTrump administration for crimes against humanity. Children have been torn from their families, thrown in cages, and died in custody. This is an abomination against humanity.

UN human rights head: Trump policy separating migrant families is abuse
The argument that a criminal president should not be indicted rests on the premise that it would destabilize the government and interfere with the president fulfilling his constitutional duties. Trump has destabilized the government already and he's attacked the Constitution.
For a criminal sitting president who has held himself above the law, indicting @realDonaldTrump would help restore the rule of law and, through his removal, would help restore political stability.

Serious question, @GOP : Just what will it take to get you to open your eyes to see what you're doing to America?
Under Donald Trump, hate crimes have risen.

Terrorism is the use of fear, especially to achieve a political goal. Trump labeling the media the "enemy" achieves multiple goals for Trump: (thread)
Trump calling the media the "enemy" plays into people's distrust of the media, stoking the fears and hate of his supporters. This draws them closer to him and makes them more likely to listen to him and ignore the media.

I was in a building locked down during a shooting and my mother and I were stalked by a man with a gun. I've also read the research. Guns do not make us safe. They only create the illusion of safety while profiting the NRA and gun manufacturers.
#NationalSchoolWalkout
As an educator, I support our children walking out today. They deserve to be in school, learning in a safe environment. But when so many adults put profits before life, it's time to stop and listen to our children.
