Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

This is what we're up against, #vegan friends.
Whether this specific person is being truthful we can't know. But I am inclined to believe it happens regularly.
Social media is awash with bad actors.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

We need a plant-based food system:
In a study asking 200 leading climate & food-system scientists (1/2 IPCC authors), livestock GHGs & herd sizes must peak now & fall ~60% by 2036
85% agreed that major shifts plant-based are essential, esp in rich countries

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.
