A wild donkey in the Arizona desert will dig a well six feet deep with its front hooves, and for half a century the United States government has been shooting it as a threat to the desert.

August on a dry wash in the Sonoran. The creek has been gone since May. The sand is hot enough to cook on and every animal for miles is standing in what shade it can find, waiting for a rain that is not coming. A burro walks down the wash, stops at a bend for no reason anyone else can see, puts its head down and smells. Then it starts digging. Front feet, one after the other, like a dog after a bone, until it is in up to its shoulders and the bottom of the hole goes dark and wet.

It drinks and walks off.

Within the hour there is a queue. Mule deer. Javelina. A bobcat. A scrub jay standing on the rim. In 2021 a biologist called Erick Lundgren published the count in Science: 59 species of vertebrate drinking at donkey wells, 64% more species than at the dry stretches of the same streams, and in the driest months the donkeys were raising the amount of open water in the desert by 300% on average and by up to 1,450%. When the wells were abandoned, cottonwood and willow seedlings came up in them. The donkey had been planting the riverbank.

Asked about his methodology, the donkey had another drink and left.

When a beaver builds a pond, a film crew is sent. When a donkey digs a well, the Park Service sends a marksman. The burros came up from Mexico with the Spanish and the prospectors, carried the ore out of every mine in the West, and were turned loose when the mines closed. Then they were reclassified. In 1979 the National Park Service planned to shoot all 577 in the Grand Canyon. A writer called Cleveland Amory raised more than $500,000 and lifted 582 of them out by helicopter, slung underneath, the most expensive taxi ride a donkey has ever taken. Death Valley shot 400 between 1987 and 1994.

Lundgren said that when he started, people did not think a donkey digging a hole was worthy of scientific attention.

The animal was listed as a threat to the desert's water.

It was the one bringing the water up.

Fifty-nine species knew.

The ones with the rifles had never sat by the hole.

I’m sure this is nothing…

Probably nothing.

Got to be nothing, right?!

A queer film festival in Switzerland has decided not to screen Tell Me Everything, a story about a young boy discovering his father is queer and the evolution of their relationship.

Why? Because it is Israeli.

I'm sure a group of Free Palestine activists will see this and insist that no, it has nothing to do with identity, but with the filmmakers' support for Israel's war with Gaza.

Except the festival demanded that Moshe Rosenthal "declare his stance towards the current Israeli government." He did. He said that he does not support the government, he does not finance the government's policies, and he does not make films that promote the policies of the Israeli government.

That wasn't enough.

When Free Palestine tells you they are fine with "good" Jews, know they are lying. They were always going to boycott a queer story showcasing Israeli Jews.

🚨 OCTOBER 7 MUST NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

October 7, 2023, was the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. More than 1,200 people were murdered and more than 250 were taken hostage in the Hamas attack on Israel.

Yet so much of the conversation immediately shifts to “Gaza” and “Free Palestine,” while the victims of October 7 can be forgotten.

We can acknowledge the suffering of innocent civilians while STILL remembering who was attacked on October 7.

🇮🇱 REMEMBER OCTOBER 7.
✡️ REMEMBER THE VICTIMS.
🕊️ NEVER FORGET THE HOSTAGES.

Three years ago today, Hamas murdered about 1,200 people in Israel and took 251 hostages

This is the first anniversary without any hostages remaining in Gaza

Today, let’s keep condemning jihadism and supporting the brave men and women risking their lives to end it

BREAKING: The Flydubai pilot who helped avert disaster yesterday is in good condition and recovering ❤️‍🩹

The Indian Embassy in the UAE announced the Flydubai pilot Smit Machchhar is in good health and recovering.

Stabbed and bleeding, the hero pilot managed to open the cockpit door, allowing passengers and crew to subdue the copilot who attacked him and land the plane.

Sending my best wishes and gratitude for Smit's heroism.

"Because we are Jewish"

An Israeli family traveling in Austria 🇦🇹 was allegedly denied service because they were Jewish.

After already ordering food at a stand, the vendor threw out the burgers he was already preparing once he had learned that the family was Jewish.

The vendor has spoken to reporters, calling the incident nonsense, but would not go into further detail.

It did not matter if this family was from Israel. It did not matter if they had any direct affiliation with Israel. All that mattered was that they were Jews.

These hateful actions occur multiple times a week. To think we just read about it and move on to the next story, seemingly normalizing them, is troubling.

[Logical Centrist @LogicalCentris2]

@HenMazzig What needs to happen is for MORE people in entertainment to come forward & speak the truth, as P!mk, Boy George, Debra Messing, & many others have done! We can see that staying silent does not work. And going along with the false narrative is dangerous, as history has taught us.

Did You Know? Maternal Immunity to Measles Lasts Longer in Babies of Naturally Immune Mothers

Infants born to mothers who’ve had naturally acquired measles receive longer-lasting maternal immunity compared to those born to vaccinated mothers.

Know the facts. Make informed decisions about the measles vaccine.

Here's a great resource for scientific facts and research about measles: https://t.co/7udROOwB57

We have spoken about the Islamic terrorists who did the unthinkable on October 7th. We should also honor the Arab heroes who emerged that morning.

Meet Amer Abu Sabila.

Amer was a 25-year-old Bedouin Arab Israeli and father of two. In Sderot, he came across Odaya Swissa and her two young daughters after her husband, Dolev, had been shot.

Amer could have fled. Instead, he got into their car and tried to drive them to safety.

They were ambushed near the Sderot police station. Amer and Odaya were killed. The two little girls survived.

Amer died trying to save a mother and two children he had never met.

Remember his name: Amer Abu Sabila.
