Great take on the federal war on universities. I wish @lastweektonight.com would follow up by tackling the problem of animal experimentation, which this episode infelicitously endorses. Most animal experiments cause immense suffering for no human benefit. We need alternatives to animal research.
This week’s main story is about Donald Trump’s grudge against higher education, what we stand to lose if he continues to withhold federal funding from universities, and which unexpected celebrity may hold the key to eternal youth. And yes, we have compelling evidence on that last point. You’ll see.

We lost our beloved Jane today. In her memory, I'm helping support the shelter where we adopted her as a young girl: the Humane Society of North Central Florida. It's one of the few no-kill shelters in our region, and they always need help.

After a ten-year ban on bear hunting, Florida is again allowing the killing of bears for fun. Permits are issued by lottery, and you can get one and keep them out of hunters' hands. It costs $5 to apply, and then $17 for the permit. #stopthebearhunt

⚠️ Newly-uncovered docs show the CFIA tested killing chickens with nitrogen foam in response to #BirdFlu. Some suffocated—but most survived, only to have their necks snapped.

Here's a heartbreaking example of turkeys being killed this way. Learn more ➡️ animaljustice.ca/AvianFlu

This comprehensive review by Canadian nutritionists shows that plant-based meat alternatives (like Beyond and Impossible Meat) are healthier than meat, contrary to what the meat industry wants us to think.

On English as official language: The meat industry in the United States is MAGA to its core. It opposes same-sex marriage and gun control, and supports voter suppression. Below is a page from their 2024 policy book, demanding English as the US official language.

Meat is MAGA.
