HEY USA, GET YOUR ASS OUT OF AFGHANISTAN AND GET INTO SYRIA IF YOU REALLY WANT TO HELP A FUCKING COUNTRY OUT. 

another Syrian massacre took place. most of the dead were children and full families. 
what the fuck? WHY ARENT WE DOING MORE 

Because Team America: World Police was a work of fiction. While these atrocities are absolutely horrendous, and are rightfully condemned, it is not the United State’s job to fuck up other countries, despite all their actions to the contrary. Letting the US invade another country will not fix the problems there.

The new Team Earthling episode is here, and it’s a good one! We talk about Paul Watson’s arrest and possible extradition to Costa Rica, how live export has failed again, Tasmania phasing out battery cages and sow stalls *years* before the rest of the country, and whether veganism ought to be a protected human right. We also wax lyrical about the power of informed consumerism, voting with your wallet, and ethical money.

Team Earthling went to a talk by Lee Coates, founder of Cruelty Free Super.  Read about it here.

LGBT Activism of the Day: Texas rapper Adair Lion’s new single, “Ben,” calls out big-name rappers for dissing homosexuality: “Where you at, Wayne? Where you at, Ye?”

Best line: “To all the little dudes learnin’ to mack –- the hottest girls got a gay in their clique, remember that.”

The song, which samples the hook off Michael Jackson’s 1972 hit of the same name, is part of Lion’s upcoming tribute album Michael & Me, which drops June 25, the third anniversary of Jackson’s death.
