❗️BREAKING — The UK Ministry of Defence admits it is “currently training” Israeli military personnel in Britain.
The Labour government has until now refused to answer questions about this, which we covered last year.

Fuck Israel!! Free Palestine, Free the activists, Free the world 🇵🇸
Can’t believe it’s not satire.

No other political discourse other than vile, outright fascism so completely authorises absolute violence against the vulnerable.

Imagine the mental gymnastics a person who consumes the end products of this violence must perform to convince themselves that they are not fascists.
Genuinely scared for the activists. Keep your eyes on the Madleen!! Keep your eyes on Palestine, until Palestine is free 🇵🇸
Israel’s Defense Minister has once again threatened unlawful force against civilians, attempting to justify violence with baseless smears. We will not be intimidated.
The 'Madleen' is a peaceful civilian vessel, unarmed and sailing in international waters with humanitarian aid and ...2/
in clear violation of international law—an approach that has led to the deaths of tens of thousands and turned the Mediterranean into a graveyard."

All violence, all injustice, all oppression is interlinked. How we treat nonhuman animals sets the lower boundary for how we treat each other. The more cruelly we treat non-humans, the more terrible a weapon dehumanization is.
What happened to anything like empathy, kindness, even just a basic level of decency? All around us there is violence, suffering and death - of both people and animals and some people still want to add more, for fun! As if it’s not enough. I can’t deal with this place anymore. It’s insane.
Male chicks are being moved on a conveyor belt before being dropped into a macerator to be ground up alive.
7 BILLION male #chicks are killed every year in the #egg industry because they can't lay eggs and are seen as "useless". 💔😢
On their FIRST DAY of life, they're gassed, suffocated, or dropped into macerators ALIVE. Can you believe this? 😡
Boycott the egg industry. Live #vegan.
It's the same machine of death that crushes the vulnerable and those who can't defend themselves, whether in slaughterhouses or war zones. Pretending there's a difference only enables more atrocities.

Under capitalism we are left with only two options. Either we choose to reinforce and normalize oppression or we challenge it by refusing to ignore the suffering behind every product we consume. There are no neutral choices. The decisions we make perpetuate or resist its brutality.
The bravest humans, doing amazing things. Solidarity to you all and with the people of Palestine 🇵🇸 be safe.
Everyone should read this book by @jimmasonauo.bsky.social - speciesism is the root of it all. When we chose to ‘other’ , when we chose to make groups ‘lesser than’ then we chose oppression and violence - not just for animals but for each other.
A young male calf is being grasped around the neck by a farm worker who is hurling him backwards into a crowded slaughterhouse truck.
The one form of social injustice that most people dismiss & don’t want to talk about is coincidentally the one they participate in; the violent exploitation of nonhuman animals. All their claims to moral decency evaporate the moment they interfere with their pursuit of petty self-gratification.
This replica of the car in which 6-year-old Palestinian child Hind Rajab was killed while fleeing Gaza City with her family last year was displayed in Bradford, UK, on what would have been her 7th birthday. The original vehicle was shot 335 times by Israeli forces.

As long as you disregard the pain inflicted on one you make yourself numb to the pain inflicted on all. Compassion can't be selective, for all our struggles are connected.
Part of being vegan for me is not just looking after the hens and dogs here. It’s about giving nature a place to thrive too. There are no weeds here, only beautiful wild flowers. There is life, vibrancy, insects, birds and mammals. Wildness is beautiful.
The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.
Read that back.
Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
Nonvegan leftists, please describe for me the goal.
A world where humans uphold just systems and social equality and egalitarianism, reject oppressive hierarchies, aaaaand exploit, violate, and needlessly slaughter subjugated animals with impunity?
Do I have that right? 💔🧠 👀
A young white chicken with blood on their feathers stands on the blood soaked ground of a slaughterhouse. The white tiled wall is also spattered with blood.
“To empathise is to civilise; to civilise is to empathise” J Rifkin
Without empathy, there is no compassion. Without empathy & compassion, violence becomes inevitable. Withhold or suppress our empathy & compassion & we become entirely complicit in normalising all violence.

It really is quite disturbing how conditioned we’ve been to turn a blind eye to the needless #oppression & #violence inflicted on our fellow animals, simply because they’ve been cruelly labeled as livestock 😞
When empathy dies violence is the only resort left. Soceity is built from empathy without it we can longer grow to support each other and civilization dies.
Why can’t more people see the connections between our current ecological / justice crises and human supremacy / dominionism?
A farm worker in a corridor between rows of female pigs tightly and cruelly imprisoned in tiny ‘farrowing crates’ swings a newborn piglet by their back legs over his head in order to smash the infant’s head against the concrete floor.
Each time we respond to violent abuse with callous indifference, each time we demand that others suffer & die with our needless, selfish choices, we tacitly normalise violence. We ensure the eternal perpetuation of all forms of violence. We make the world violent.

Because we refuse to care, the violence continues unabated. Due to our ongoing callous apathy, it’s unfolded & increased over decades, dragging more & more sentient victims into its innumerable ranks, into its vile embrace. In cowardice, we hide ourselves from the atrocities perpetrated in our name.
Not your fucking dinner 🐮
