Basque ❤️💚🤍

The Basque language has always been surrounded by mystery with regards to its origin. Today, there has been a massive breakthrough on its history and origin 🧵

The Scottish Parliament voted for Scotland to have the powers to hold an independence referendum.

Because Scotland’s future should be decided by the people of Scotland.

When a family member attempted to cross a barrier to embrace their loved ones, the Ertzaintza (Basque autonomous police) suddenly and shockingly responded with violence.

What should have been a moment of relief and familial comfort was interrupted by even more brutality.

[alemvelasco_ @alemvelasco_]

Aquí se ve perfectamente cómo es la Ertzaintza la que unilateralmente y sin causa alguna que lo justifique apaliza a las militantes de la Flotilla que acaban de ser liberadas del secuestro y las torturas de Israel. Asco es poco. Nauseabunda y criminal complicidad con genocidas.

[Thiago Ávila @thiagoavilabr]

OUTRAGEOUS! In front of their families and the entire Basque press, our Flotilla volunteers were attacked by the airport police in Bilbao, Basque Country-Spain, upon returning to their home country.

[Malcolm iXa 🍉 @ideiazabaldub]

Este es el trato inhumano de la Ertzaintza en el ambulatorio de Deusto a uno de los detenidos y heridos en su violenta e injusticada carga en Loiu. Las imágenes recuerdan a las que hemos visto en Israel con el ministro sionista Ben Gvir.

INFAMIA TOTAL 👇🏼

[Malcolm iXa 🍉 @ideiazabaldub]

🤬| La Ertzaintza ha recibido a palos a los miembros vascos de la Flotilla torturados en Israel. Las imágenes son increibles y gravísimas.

Es una actuación propia de la armada sionista.

Esto debe tener consecuencias inmediatas, qué vergüenza! 👇🏼

In 24 hours, Mikel Arteta took Arsenal to first league in 22 years, Andoni Iraola took Bournemouth to Europe for first time ever and Unai Emery took Aston Villa to first European trophy in 44 years, first of any kind in 33 years. All born within 30 miles of each other. Gipuzkoa.

That photo costs about $17. The premium version, where the tiger’s head rests in your lap, goes for around $140. Selling these poses made Thailand’s Tiger Temple roughly $3 million a year, until police raided it in 2016 and pulled 40 dead tiger cubs out of a freezer.

Thailand has about 1,960 tigers locked in cages right now. Almost all of them are at places that sell tourist photos. The most recent Thai government count of wild tigers came back at 179 to 223. There are eight to ten times more tigers in the photo business than tigers out there hunting deer in the forest.

Police forced their way into the Tiger Temple in May 2016 and walked out with 137 live tigers. They also found 40 frozen cubs in a kitchen freezer. Twenty more cubs were floating in jars of preserving fluid. Authorities stopped a temple staff member trying to drive off the property with two whole tiger pelts, ten tiger fangs, and around 1,500 small good-luck charms made from tiger skin.

Speed breeding is what keeps the supply going. Mothers get their cubs taken at two to three weeks old. The females come back into heat much sooner and pop out another litter long before nature would let them. World Animal Protection investigators walked through Thai tiger parks and found half the cats they saw in cages smaller than a one-car garage. A wild tiger covers 10 to 20 miles in a single night.

Cubs work the photo line for a few months. They get passed from tourist to tourist hundreds of times a day. Most are declawed, which is exactly what it sounds like: amputating part of each toe so they cannot scratch a paying customer. Once a cub grows too big or starts pushing back, it is finished with the photo business and too expensive to feed.

The same animals start a second life as product. In 2007, Thailand signed an international treaty banning the sale of tiger parts. Other tiger countries signed too. Authorities still seized 641 tigers, dead or alive, in smuggling busts across Southeast Asia between 2000 and 2011. DNA tests traced 275 of those straight back to the same kind of farms that sell tourist photos. China and Vietnam are the destination, where the parts are sold as tiger bone wine, tiger skin rugs, and traditional medicine.

After the 2016 raid, the government took custody of all 147 rescued tigers. Eighty-six died within three years. Decades of speed breeding had inbred their bloodlines so badly that their immune systems were already gone by the time anyone tried to save them.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.
