Family can be a waste of time advocacy wise. There are exceptions & exceptional families who grow together of course, but more often than not there is only additional biases adding to the burden of breaking through Earthling Ed’s mom isn’t V, learning that stopped me fr wasting time w my own family

"Leading by example" is utterly insufficient. Your friends and family say "Oh that's good that you do that" then blithely tell the waiter to bring them a steak.

[“I live vegan, but I don’t preach about it” 🥰 …we should be careful not to turn “leading by example” into a philosophy of INACTION & silence] 💯 Millions of animals are terrorized daily. THEY NEED US to be active voices, not pick-me-apologists prioritizing the feelings of those funding the suffering

Brendan Carr is a political hack using government power to push Trump's fascist agenda. I don't recall Carr complaining in 2022 when the networks skipped Biden's speech about democracy. The networks are not supposed to be tools of the ruling party, despite what Carr thinks.

NN: Should networks air Trump's speech? CARR: Of course. Any time the president delivers news or content in primetime, broadcasters should make sure public can see it N: Do they have a responsibility in terms of TV licenses? C: Broadcasters have an obligation to operate in the public interest

Another killing by ICE, this time in Maine. That’s twice in one week. How can America keep asking immigrant workers to work as usual if they are being shot dead on their way to work? Stop killing us.

It's quite amazing how from the day we're born we're encouraged not to think about any of these things. It's a given, a pre-supposition that we don't.

The stupid belief in the “necessity” of this has brought on a worldview of cruelty and abuse and contempt for the whole living world. And it is what is bringing us into an accelerating climate crisis. Can’t connect the two? Maybe this will help…

I hope you find room for one more piece sparked by America’s semiquincentennial: An attempt to think U.S. history as a continuity of conflict – 250 years defined by a relentless struggle over the ideas expressed in the Declaration and what role they should play in American life:
