An Australian documentary exposing the dark underbelly of modern animal agriculture through drones, hidden and handheld cameras, the feature-length film explores the morality and validity of our dominion over the animal kingdom. The documentary presents an uncompromising, damning exploration of the various ways animals are used and abused by humans, particularly in the meat, dairy, egg, clothing and entertainment industries.
Filmed in Australia, ‘Dominion’ combines footage from handheld, hidden, and aerial drone cameras, much of it never seen before, to convey both the terrifying scale of an empire built on secrecy – and the individual stories of its victims.
Focusing on the legal, industry-standard practices that occur all over the world, the film questions the morality and validity of humankind’s dominion over the animal kingdom, advocating not for minor improvements to their welfare but for a deeper conversation about our right to exploit those we deem inferior to ourselves.

As the Trump Administration puts efforts into weakening the Clean Power Plan, renewable energy is still increasing in Ohio. According to a new report by Environment Ohio Research & Policy Center, Ohio went from producing 1 Gigawatt hour of solar energy and 15 GWh of wind energy in 2008, to now producing 260 GWh of solar energy and 1,563 GWh of wind energy.
“The last decade has seen explosive growth in the key technologies to power Ohio with clean, renewable energy,” said Nancy Goodes, Campaign Organizer for Environment Ohio “Ohio is poised to accelerate its shift away from fossil fuels. With renewable energy prices falling and new energy-saving technologies coming on line every day, Ohio should work towards the long-term goal of obtaining 100 percent of our energy from clean, renewable sources.”

The week of July 9th took me back to a world my young daughter left behind years ago. A leader is choosing like-minded friends for his team no matter how badly they play the game. A stubborn, immature lout is willing to accept a tough punishment rather do something healthy. Then there’s a poorly-raised little shit who runs around shooting off his mouth offending everyone in sight.
To replace the outgoing Justice Kennedy, the president nominated Brett Kavanaugh. He is a circuit court judge in DC with a solidly conservative track record. He clerked for Kennedy before working for the Bush campaign in Florida and helping to steal the 2000 election. He is not smart enough to handle money; accruing tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt for sports tickets and a private Catholic school for his kids. So before we dig deeper into him, the Supreme Court nominee is a devout Catholic with money problems and a lack of respect for democracy. So far, so good, right?!
