It's good to be well-rounded in one's activism
The way forward is recognizing nonhumans as equals, nonhuman autonomy, recognizing children and young adults as equals, and child and young adult autonomy as well as permissive parenting. #environmentalism #youthlib #youthliberation #communism #socialism #anarchism
Most people care about farm animals — our food system doesn't reflect that

Surveys worldwide show that most people find common animal farming practices unacceptable, even where meat consumption is high.

Tell Trump’s EPA: Don’t Poison Our Drinking Water

EPA water chief Jessica Kramer just made the threat official: Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency wants to reopen and erase key limits on PFAS in drinking water. The first-ever federal protections against toxic forever chemicals are now on the chopping block. PFAS have been linked to cancer, heart disease, and harm to babies. But instead of protecting families, Trump’s EPA is giving polluters more time and trying to gut the safeguards meant to keep these chemicals out of our taps. Tell EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin: Stop weakening PFAS protections and enforce the full drinking water rule now. PFAS are called “forever chemicals” because they do not easily break down. They build up in the environment, in our water, and in our bodies. Millions may be drinking contaminated water. And now Trump’s EPA wants to make it easier for these chemicals to stay there. That’s a betrayal of all of us. Parents should not have to wonder whether a glass of water could expose their children to chemicals linked to cancer or low birth weight. Communities should not have to pay the price for decades of corporate pollution. And EPA should not be helping polluters dodge accountability. This rollback is not final. Zeldin and Trump’s EPA can still back down — but only if the public pressure is impossible to ignore. EPA’s job is to protect people — not protect the companies that poisoned our water in the first place. Add your name now and demand Trump’s EPA stop gutting PFAS protections and keep toxic forever chemicals out of our drinking water. The petition to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin reads: “Stop weakening PFAS drinking water protections. Enforce the full federal PFAS rule and keep toxic forever chemicals out of our drinking water.”
