they've built concentration camps and i'm expected to act like it's a mere difference of political opinion

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

After the dams came down on the Klamath River, the Yurok Tribe didn't wait for nature to fix itself.

For decades, four hydroelectric dams turned a living river into stagnant reservoirs. They blocked salmon and steelhead from 400 miles of spawning grounds, fueled toxic algae blooms, and raised water temperatures past what the fish could survive.

When the last dam came down in late 2024, the river ran free again. But the exposed reservoir beds, 2,200 acres of bare sediment, were unstable and wide open to invasive species.

So the Yurok Tribe got to work. Along a 38-mile stretch, tribal crews hand-sowed billions of native plant seeds, planted 76,000 trees and shrubs, and seeded 28,000 acorns.

Nearly 100 native plant species. All by hand. All from seeds collected locally and grown out specifically for the restoration.

It's already working. Salmon are spawning in the Upper Klamath Basin for the first time in over a century. Lupines and willows are stabilizing the banks. The river is breathing again.

The Klamath is now the largest dam removal and river restoration project in US history, and the people doing the heaviest lifting are the ones who have lived along that river for thousands of years.

@ChazakielDoremi @achillghost I only ever get voted most likely to mix up laconic and iambic

@beergnome1st @SovietKaren @rockabilly_blu @NashvilleZoo I mean just because you can't read properly doesn't mean you're in your 40s but it would make sense

[Angrenost Hobbies @AngrenostH]

@beergnome1st @SovietKaren @rockabilly_blu @NashvilleZoo If you're not ready to take the heat your fellow anti-zoo activists are getting best stay out the kitchen youngin

[Angrenost Hobbies @AngrenostH]

@beergnome1st @SovietKaren @rockabilly_blu @NashvilleZoo There are many species zoos are helping bring back from the brink, a local example is the black-footed ferret was declared extinct by the 70s, a small population was rediscovered, and a mix of Zoos and state/fed agencies have brought the species back to over 600 wild individuals

[Angrenost Hobbies @AngrenostH]

@beergnome1st @SovietKaren @rockabilly_blu @NashvilleZoo I never see you anti-zoo activists going after "aquariums" even those that have tigers, for profit aviaries, safari parks, outdoor cats or factory farms. It's always going after zoos which have almost entirely pivoted to conservation programs now

Stand with us to protect the future of Nashville Zoo.

A proposed 69,000-square-foot data center is planned next to the Zoo, but no environmental impact studies have been conducted. Sign our petition to help protect the animals in our care ➡️ https://t.co/q2ISQnxLBK

[sam🌪️ hit the wall @star1ightstan13]

genuine question, why does a train line or a new park have to go thru years of votes and environmental impact studies but something like this can just? happen?

Earlier this week, I talked about how Congress is hiding the U.S.–Israel military relationship in the defense bill.

There is a second bill that goes further. It makes it law that a president can't pull intelligence sharing back without clearing a legal hurdle, even if you elect one who wants to. 🧵

I don’t understand how such a moronic degenerate piece of human filth has the power to decide the fate of an entire species of one of earth’s beautiful creations just so the pedophile class can have more money to kill children in the middle east

The US deserves its downfall

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

When the students of Columbia started their encampments in April 2024, their main demand was divestment of the university from Israel. Soon, students from multiple universities followed suit.

Because those encampments were brutally shut down, divestment was never even considered.

Two years later, this is the result:

Its a huge shame to the Left we don’t talk enough about what Brazil is doing to indigenous ppl in the Amazon.

Not only are they killing them right now but they are doing it to rape the rainforest.

60% of the worlds oxygen comes from Brazilian rainforest this affects all of us.

Good time to be reminded that rich Westerners paid to be able to shoot at Muslims in Bosnia.

The right is framing this as a story about how white people are mistreated, but it's actually a story about what cops are like. This is how they treat people!!

[James J. Zogby @jjz1600]

All 3 of Netanyahu’s main opponents in the next election condemned him for surrendering to the US & agreeing to a “ceasefire” in Lebanon. They say he sold out & became a “vassal state” of the US. So if you’re thinking getting rid of Netanyahu makes Israel better - think again

I'm a grizzly.

They just decided one acre is all I need.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just redefined "secure habitat" for grizzly bears in Montana.

The science said 2,500 acres minimum.

They changed it to one.

No public input. No new science. Just a rewrite.

And it wasn't random. The change conveniently cleared the way for a 17,700-acre logging project cutting straight through the corridor grizzlies use to travel between two of their last strongholds in North America.

A former Forest Service wildlife biologist said it plainly: "A one-acre island of forest surrounded by roads isn't secure habitat. It's a death trap."

Courts already rejected this same playbook when agencies tried 10-acre patches near Yellowstone. They lost. Then they came back with one acre.

Who's going to tell the grizzly it only gets one acre?

🧵"Desidero che la Papamobile venga trasformata in una clinica mobile e donata ai bambini di Gaza"
Questa è una delle ultime volontà di Papa Francesco prima di morire.
Ad eseguire la disposizione di Papa Francesco, il Vaticano incarica il cardinale svedese Anders Arborelius che a sua volta incarica la Caritas svedese per la trasformazione del veicolo.

Quando la stampa dà la notizia dell'incarico alla Caritas svedese di trasformare la Papamobile in clinica mobile per i bambini di Gaza, scatta la solidarietà dei cittadini svedesi che in pochi giorni inviano alla Caritas cospicue donazioni.

Grazie alle somme raccolte, la Caritas, non solo riesce a trasformare la Papamobile in una clinica mobile fornita di attrezzature mediche di ultima generazione, ma acquista altre 12 ambulanze da inviare a Gaza.

A novembre dello scorso anno, quando i lavori sulla Papamobile sono ultimati, per celebrare l'evento e assolvere all'ultima volontà di Papa Francesco, il Vaticano sceglie Betlemme, la città simbolo per eccellenza della cristianità, la città dove nacque Cristo.
In Piazza della Mangiatoia, il cardinale Anders Arborelius benedice la Papamobile e le ambulanze in partenza verso Gaza.
La Papamobile viene rinominata "Veicolo della Speranza".

Passano giorni, settimane e poi mesi ma gli occupanti israeliani non consentono alla Caritas di fare entrare il Veicolo della Speranza a Gaza.
I rappresentanti del Vaticano e della Caritas chiedono più volte spiegazioni ma Israele si prende gioco di loro inventando storie assurde.
"Non è pervenuta alcuna richiesta di autorizzazione"
E poi ancora: "I materiali sanitari all'interno della Papamobile potrebbero finire nelle mani di Hamas ed essere usati come armi".

E intanto la Papamobile, trasformata in un gioiello della tecnologia medica, in grado di curare 200 bambini al giorno, è ancora lì, dopo sette mesi, sotto una teca in un parcheggio a pochi metri da Piazza della Mangiatoia in attesa di raggiungere i bambini di Gaza.

In uno stupendo articolo scritto dal cardinale Arborelius su ICN, Independent Catholic News (*link nel primo commento) il cardinale si rivolge alle autorità israeliane, chiede, quasi supplica, di lasciare entrare il Veicolo della Speranza ma non rinuncia a scrivere: "Negare le cure mediche ai bambini significa oltrepassare un limite morale che dovrebbe turbare tutti".

Limite morale che non turba i leader politici occidentali che ostentano senza ritegno la loro fede cristiana ma restano in un vile silenzio mentre la colonia di plastica denominata Israele umilia il Vaticano prendendosi gioco delle ultime volontà di un Papa.
Che schifo!
