Please tell me where you are/are going? (A just in case tweet - if you have a backup social media account let me know where please). Suspect I'm spending a chunk of this weekend tracking people down elsewhere!

Israel responds to Iran's retaliatory strikes by cutting off all aid to Gaza.

This is a state which routinely collectively punishes civilians as a tactic of war.

This is monstrous, and it is also a grave war crime.

[Ernesto’s Sanctuary for Syrian Cats @theAleppoCatmen]

Could I ask you all to vote for Ernestos Sanctuary Syria again please? We are in position 7 on the leader board. It would be wonderful if we could get into the first 5 - but even at position 7 we will win some much needed cash.
Its free to vote and you can vote once aweek. The voting closes at the end of June.
Can I ask you to share with friends and work mates and neighbours too please

Such a sad photo. Two scientists on a remote island collect seeds from the last known example in the world of a type of tree, hoping to preserve it.

Imagine being beside the last known of anything in the world. A humbling experience

💔 THIS IS HEARTBREAKING. COULD DARTMOOR TRULY LOSE ITS PONIES? 🐴📉

A devastating warning has been issued by campaigners who fear that up to NINETY PERCENT of Dartmoor’s iconic semi-wild hill ponies could completely disappear from the moorland.

Over 23,000 people have already signed an emergency petition demanding action to protect them.

New rules drawn up by Natural England mean that grazing limits across the moors are being slashed. But here is the catch: campaigners say the famous ponies are being lumped into the exact same livestock quotas as commercial cattle and sheep.

Because they are competing for the same reduced space, it's feared farmers will be forced to remove the ponies to make way for more financially viable livestock.

The Dartmoor Hill Pony Association warns that numbers have already plummeted from 7,000 to just 900 in the last 25 years. They are already listed as an officially endangered native breed. Campaigners warn that once they are gone from the moor, they are gone forever.

Natural England says they want to ensure "optimal numbers" remain and that ponies are vital for restoring the landscape—but officials confirm they must be included in the total livestock count.

Dartmoor simply wouldn’t be Dartmoor without the ponies. Do you think it’s fair to treat these historic animals the same as farm livestock?

Whilst we were distracted, the groundwork for our AI control grid has slowly been growing. The map below shows Data Centers in Britain. Each one of these data centres use up to 5 million gallons of water per day and enough energy to supply 50,000 homes.

One of the most heartbreaking stories…

Imprisoned doctor Hussam Abu Safiya sent a message asking to reach journalist Anas Al-Sharif so that the voices and suffering of prisoners could be conveyed to the world—unaware that Anas had already been martyred.

His son, Elias, revealed that his father, who is living in harsh isolation in prison, still saw Anas as a voice capable of bringing the suffering of Palestinian prisoners to the world’s attention. Hoping his message would reach the public, he asked for contact with him.

The message reflects the severe isolation endured by prisoners, their determination to hold on to hope despite everything, and their constant search for any window through which the reality behind prison walls can be heard.

More actual evidence of the depravity of this Labour Government, how they conduct themselves and the rot that runs throughout the entire party.

[help cats @helpcatsmsallam]

I was born with a sensitive soul in a world that does not know how to listen.

I perceive what passes unnoticed by others, and I feel the weight

of details they easily overlook. I never learned to live on the surface; every emotion reached me whole, sharp, and sincere. This sensitivity was a light that revealed the depth of things, and at the same time a shadow that weighed on my heart. With time, I came to understand that it is neither a burden nor a privilege alone, but a different path..

because those who feel more live more deeply, and those who live deeply pay the price and gain meaning at once...
My dear friends, it seems things are getting worse in Gaza. We are beginning to feel the implementation of their plan to advance beyond the Green Line and expand it, so that the total area occupied in Gaza will reach 70% of our land...
Every day we hear the sounds of explosions from tanks, and the sounds are clear to everyone; it's the highest point resulting from the tanks' advance...
I can't imagine how war could ever return... We've been through some very difficult times...
That's why I'm still insisting on stockpiling cat food... because if war breaks out, there will be famine here. The pictures below show how much weight I lost during the famine... and another picture of the aid rations they airdropped, which I received once during the war...
My dear friends, please... things are getting worse day by day... the campaign to stockpile food is not going well...
I want to store enough for 6 months for the cats...
I am very grateful to you for your support.

I am also very grateful for your support in covering their food and veterinary care at the shelter for the cats during this time via PayPal

Thank you so much. I am very grateful to you, my friends.

Thursday morning, an Israeli airstrike struck the home of Mona Khalil in Mansouri, South of Lebanon. The home itself was modest. But what it sheltered was extraordinary.
For decades, while many spoke about protecting nature, Mona lived that commitment every single day. From her small house overlooking the sea, she became the guardian of a coastline, the protector of countless sea turtles, and a voice for creatures that could not speak for themselves.
She chose to stay. She stayed through uncertainty, through fear, through danger. She stayed because the beach she watched over was not just a stretch of sand. It was a sanctuary. A place of life. A place worth defending.
Mona was seriously injured and her assistant suffered burns. Both are thankfully in stable condition. Yet the tragedy goes far beyond their wounds.
With war reaching a woman whose life’s mission has been to protect life, something deeper is injured, a part of our humanity is wounded. Violence does not distinguish between a fighter and a conservationist, between a military position and a nest of endangered turtles, between those who destroy and those who dedicate their lives to preserving.
Mona Khalil spent years protecting one of Lebanon’s most fragile treasures. Today, it is Mona who needs protection. And perhaps the greatest tribute we can pay her is to ensure that her courage, her mission, and her love for this land survive long after the smoke has cleared ❤️🇱🇧

The Israeli army shot dead a 7-month-old Palestinian baby in the West Bank.

It was in broad daylight.

The father says:

"I stopped as I was instructed to, and then they simply shot at the car."

Israel routinely kills babies - and the West is silent.

In the 1990s, Canadian ecologist Suzanne Simard made a groundbreaking discovery that challenged everything we thought we knew about how forests work. While studying managed forests in British Columbia, she noticed something puzzling: when birch trees were removed to promote the growth of valuable Douglas firs, the firs did not flourish as expected, they actually struggled and grew more slowly.

Determined to understand why, Simard traced the movement of nutrients using radioactive carbon isotopes. What she found was astonishing. Trees were actively sharing resources through vast underground fungal networks known as mycorrhizae. These delicate, thread-like fungi connect the roots of different trees across the forest floor, forming a complex web that allows the exchange of carbon, water, nutrients, and even chemical signals, sometimes between entirely different species.

She discovered that older, larger trees often serve as central "hubs" or "mother trees," supporting younger saplings by redistributing vital resources and helping the entire ecosystem remain resilient. When these key trees are removed, the underground network weakens, and the health of the remaining forest declines.

Simard’s research overturned the traditional Darwinian view of forests as battlegrounds of ruthless competition. Instead, she revealed a far more sophisticated reality: forests operate as highly cooperative systems where trees communicate, support one another, and even warn neighboring trees about threats like drought, disease, or insect attacks.

What appears to the human eye as a silent, still forest is, in truth, a vibrant, interconnected living network, built not on isolation and rivalry, but on deep connection and mutual aid.

A white man named Chas Chorrigan has just been jailed for life for murdering a Saudi student, Mohammed Algasim, in Cambridge.

There will be no political circus around this. No strong words from Farage. This selective outrage is what causes further division.

[Extinction Rebellion Global @ExtinctionR]

Rivers around the world are quietly running out of oxygen, and climate change is emerging as the main culprit. A sweeping global analysis of more than 21,000 river systems found that nearly 80% have been steadily losing dissolved oxygen over the past four decades, threatening fish, biodiversity, and the overall health of freshwater ecosystems. Tropical rivers are being hit the hardest, even more than rivers in rapidly warming polar regions.

That’s why Zack is right. We need to make sure any British national complicit in war crimes is held to account.

Amnesty has an Urgent Action on behalf of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. Israel must release him now. Why oh why such cruelty? Why oh why those with the power to hold Israel authorities accountable for their cruelty failing over and over?

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya should be with his loved ones, and caring for the many many people in need of his skills. The last place where he should be is solitary confinement.
