Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

What made you become a conscientious objector to the dairy industry?
Some dairy industry facts:
The average lifespan of a U.S. dairy cow is 2.5 lactations.
A 2014 study of 45 herds in the U.S. Northwest found that 21% of cows had a gait abnormality (clinical lameness ~4%) in those herds.

So, a senior Justice Department official — along with several members of Congress — used the authority of their offices to boost an obviously dubious conspiracy theory accusing a federal employee of a horrific crime.
And now it’s clear the allegation was baseless.

“According to Gaza’s Government Media Office, Israel has violated the “ceasefire” nearly 500 times in 44 days, killing 342 civilians. The deadliest day was on October 29 when the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) killed 109 Palestinians, including 52 children.”
"The 'ceasefire' is a diplomatic sham – a cover for the continuing extermination, displacement and erasure of the Palestinian people in Gaza and a distraction for the international public and the media."

No, there is no ceasefire in Gaza
Israel’s bombing of Gaza is not a ‘violation of the ceasefire'. It is a continuing genocide under diplomatic cover.
