carsonxvx:
If you own pets, you are not vegan. You are an animal abuser and a prison guard. You don’t know if your pet wants to be owned or not. You never gave them an option to begin with.
You are an idiot and you have no understanding of what veganism means.

1) “Cisgender” and “cissexual” are not slurs. Many people who are known for expressing the most transphobic views in public, react very badly to the term “cisgender,” claim that it is a slur, that it is imposing gender on them. It’s none of these things – it simply means “someone who is not a transgender person.” However, saying that it is a slur is transphobic, because if...

The developments in Washington...

The anti-choice chuckleheads in the do-nothing House of Representatives have begun attacking the HHS mandate on birth control. This means that before employers and insurance companies are even required to comply 100% with the requirements (full coverage of all FDA approved methods of birth control, no deductibles, no co-pays — none of these kick in until August), anti-choice...

socialismartnature:
More proof that Obama is anything but a “peace” President. Whatever his personal disposition may or may not be, as President of the U.S. his job description is to do the bidding of the collective economic, political, and military ruling class.
If that means backing apartheid Israel to the hilt and using war to extend U.S. hegemony in the oil-rich Middle East, than so be...
