In 2018, Mercy For Animals teamed up with advocacy organizations to expose the reality of driftnets. Shortly after the release of our investigation, California passed a bill to phase out large-mesh driftnets in state waters. ✊🌊➡️ bit.ly/4uebnXd #WorldOceanDay

I am proud and thankful to have served in the U.S. House of Representatives with my friend Thomas Massie, a giant among weak pathetic men. Releasing the Epstein files was our demise. But it was worth every single bit because now everyone knows the truth. You are ruled by the Epstein class that cares nothing about you and your elected leaders are bought and controlled by a foreign lobby. Tonight the future of the Republican Party was destroyed. The Real America First Movement will rise led by the younger generations, who hate the old guard with an unquenchable passion. Let us pray that we have a country left by the time these creatures are gone.

Our 2025 Person of the Year is Jane Goodall. The renowned primate expert, vegan, & animal advocate devoted her life to reshaping how humans perceive other animals and inspired so many to care for others. Honor her life by being vegan, just like Jane 🤍

@MaxVelocityWX @_HeartofGrace_ It’s fun to see auroras, but the weakening of the Earth’s magnetic field could set us up for some dangerous solar effects going forward.

Animal rights doesn't mean cows should vote. It means if it's wrong to torture and exploit your dog, it's also wrong to commodify and exploit chickens, cows, fish, and pigs. It's about moral consistency and rejecting speciesism. Pic: main hallway of MIT

We’re heartbroken by the passing of Loretta Swit—Emmy-winning star of M*A*S*H and a tireless champion for animals of all species. She was a devoted vegan, a fierce advocate for spay & neuter, & a voice for animals in shelters, labs, & in nature. Her work will live on forever 🤍

It is not fair that a small number of careless people can disturb the peace of thousands of peaceful residents. When is Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami going to enforce the law and stop those who explode these illegal and terrifying fireworks?

In addition to these exploding fireworks being illegal, they cause great stress to our veterans who have served in war, disrupt sleep of the elderly, children, and workers, lead to significant trauma to pets and pets running away, and death to wildlife.

Dear @JoeCarolloNow, @Manolo4Miami, @MayorDaniella, @FrancisSuarez, @MiamiPD, @MiamiDadePD, @MiamiDadeCounty & @CityofMiami: The residents of Shenandoah are fed up with the illegal fireworks exploding every Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, and Fourth of July.
