WOW.

AlJazeera just dropped a ONE HOUR documentary about ISRAEL’s CRIMES against the PALESTINIANS.

This is very HARD TO WATCH.

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

30,000 hours of footage, equivalent to 3 years and 7 months, were filmed to capture the blooming of 77 types of flowers, and the result is spectacular.

A sheep that is not sheared, dies.

Slowly. Wetly. With flies in the fleece and a temperature it cannot regulate.

The modern sheep, descended from twelve thousand years of selective breeding, no longer sheds its fleece naturally. It cannot. If left unshorn, the fleece keeps growing, traps moisture against the skin, attracts flies, develops fly strike, and kills the sheep slowly and unpleasantly over the course of a wet summer.

Shearing is not done to the sheep. Shearing is done for the sheep.

The shearer arrives in May. The sheep is held still for ninety seconds. The fleece comes off in one piece. The sheep stands up, shakes itself, and walks back into the field roughly four kilograms lighter and visibly relieved. The fleece becomes a jumper that will outlive three of your phones.

The alternative, the one being marketed as compassionate, is acrylic. Polyester. A petroleum-derived plastic spun into fibres that shed microplastics into every wash, every wear, every breath of wind, for as long as that garment exists. Which is forever. Acrylic does not biodegrade. It only breaks down into smaller pieces of acrylic.

The sheep needed shearing. The oil rig did not need drilling.

Have a think about which one is actually cruel.

Activist: "Your sheep are unsustainable."

Farmer: "Compared to what?"

Activist: "Anything. They're a drain on the land."

Farmer: "This land grows grass and nothing else. Too steep to plough, too wet to crop, too thin to bother. The sheep is the only thing alive that turns it into food."

Activist: "Grow plants instead."

Farmer: "Nothing arable grows here, I've told you. So walk me through it. A solar-powered animal eats a crop I can't, on ground I can't farm, and hands me back the most bioavailable protein going. What's the more sustainable version of that?"

Activist: "Lab protein. Soy."

Farmer: "Both want flat land, inputs, and a factory. Mine wants rain and a fence. And while she's at it she grows a fleece, a renewable textile that composts in a hedge, off the same blade of grass."

Activist: "Wool's barely used anymore."

Farmer: "Because you swapped it for plastic dragged out of the ground, shedding microfibre into the rivers, sat in landfill for four centuries. You picked the oil jumper and called the wool one wasteful."

Activist: "It's still livestock."

Farmer: "It's grass, sun, sheep, dinner, and a jumper, on land that otherwise feeds nobody. If you've got a tidier loop than that, I'm all ears."

Activist: "..."

Farmer: "Sustainable means it keeps going on its own. She's been managing that on this hill since before the word turned up."

@NYCMayor Most trolls here are repeating the same myths:
Arabs rejected partition & peace
Arabs started war on Israel
Palestinians fled out of their own will

So here's the most thorough debunking of those lies, from the mouths of Israel's founders themselves:

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

****Statement from Mosab Abu Toha in response to LeMoyne College's President's email to students today*****

This is deeply shameful. I cannot believe what I am reading.
How dare you tell a person who survived a genocide that they cannot speak about it?
On April 15, I had the honor of visiting and speaking at Le Moyne College. I spoke about my lived experience in Gaza, shared the family trees of those killed by Israel, and read my poems. I also played the actual recordings of Israeli airstrikes and artillery shelling that I documented myself while on the ground in Gaza.
This morning, the President of the college sent out an email condemning my use of the word GENOCIDE when describing these crimes. She claimed that using that word is "antisemitic." She stated that she recognized the "real hurt" that the word caused to Jewish students.
Seriously? Are the crimes of the Israeli state representative of all Jewish people? I personally refuse to believe that is the case.
It is utterly ridiculous to begin a letter by stating that your institution welcomes the "free exchange of ideas," only to immediately condemn a speaker, not for sharing abstract ideas, but for sharing his own life. I still carry the physical wounds of a 2009 airstrike on my neck, my forehead, and my cheek. My wife and I have lost over one hundred relatives, most of them children. Some of them have still not been buried.
Who are these students you are talking about? Not a single person who identified themselves as Jewish approached me after my talk to offer condolences or acknowledge the actual crimes committed against me and my family. I never once used the word "Jewish" during the entire event; I refuse to conflate the faith of Judaism with the actions of the state of Israel.
Yet, you suggest my language caused "hurt." Whoever went to your office to complain about my words should have been the first to approach the stage to show humanity and support for a survivor.
It may surprise you to know that I used the word GENOCIDE to describe Israel’s actions in Gaza long before most human rights organizations, including prominent Israeli organizations, and leading Holocaust and Genocide scholars arrived at the same conclusion. I hope this fact does not "hurt" anyone even more.
If anyone told you they felt "hurt" because I used the word GENOCIDE, then I ask you: how should I feel? How should my wife feel after losing her father? How should my three children feel after losing their grandfather?
At a time when a GENOCIDE should be condemned, it is the survivors and those who speak out against it who are being targeted instead.

SHAME!!!!!

Demain matin à 5h30, sortez dans le jardin. Sans téléphone, sans casque. Asseyez-vous. Écoutez dix minutes.

🌿 Ce que vous entendez n'est pas du bruit de fond — c'est un concert avec un ordre précis. Chaque espèce commence à chanter à un niveau de lumière différent. La séquence est la même chaque matin.

Le rougegorge familier (Erithacus rubecula) ouvre le chœur. Il commence quand le ciel est encore presque noir — jusqu'à quarante minutes avant l'aube. Phrases mélodie uses, fluides et variées, depuis la branche d'un arbre ou un arbuste bas. Si vous entendez un chant flûté et riche dans l'obscurité totale, c'est lui qui déclare son territoire avant tout le monde.

Le merle noir (Turdus merula) entre juste après, dans la semi-obscurité. Son chant est lent, riche et improvisé — phrases longues et musicales avec une qualité flûtée profonde depuis la cime d'un arbre ou une corniche. Le mâle chante depuis les points les plus hauts du jardin.

La grive musicienne (Turdus philomelos) arrive quand la lumière commence à grandir. Elle se distingue par une habitude unique : elle répète chaque phrase deux à quatre fois avant de passer à la suivante. Si vous entendez une phrase répétée avec insistance, c'est elle.

La mésange charbonnière (Parus major) entre quand le ciel est déjà clair. Son sifflement en deux notes — "ti-ti-ti" strident et régulier — s'installe depuis la même branche en boucle. Toujours la même structure, répétée avec confiance.

🐦 La raison de cet ordre est biologique. Chaque espèce a un seuil minimum de lumière pour démarrer — déterminé par la taille des yeux, la sensibilité rétinienne et l'habitat qu'elle préfère. Le chœur de l'aube est une horloge naturelle que vous pouvez lire sans regarder le ciel.

L'expérience dure dix minutes. Première espèce : obscurité. Deuxième : pénombre. Troisième : lumière diffuse. Quatrième : soleil à l'horizon. En dix minutes, votre jardin s'est présenté — sans avoir vu un seul oiseau.

🔥Whitney Webb cuts to the core of "World War III":

"[The Trump admin. has] turned the White House into a trading desk, and they're causing all of this volatility because Trump [et al. are]... insider trading all of it."

"Pete Hegseth... [is] obviously retarded."

"The person behind [Hegseth] is the person running things. And it's Steve Feinberg of Cerberus Capital Management, which [has] on its board... a host of ex-spooks and former top neocon officials."

"The U.S. and Israel have horrendous track records when it comes to civilian deaths. And it's nasty and terrible and makes me sick to my stomach that so many innocent people are dying so the rich can get richer."

This clip of Webb (@_whitneywebb), author of One Nation Under Blackmail and contributing editor of unlimitedhangout(.)com, is taken from an interview with Jimmy Dore (@jimmy_dore) posted to Rumble on March 26, 2026.

----------------Partial transcription of clip---------------

Dore:

"Any, any, any comments on the World War III?"

Webb:

"Oh man, that's very open-ended. Yeah, I think this was clear at the end of Trump's first term, if not earlier than that, that this is where Trump was going to take it because the people he puts in charge, just like he did in his first term, are rebranded neocons. And they are going to try and wealth transfer through endless wars.

"And if it's not just endless wars, it will be the downstream economic devastation that the destabilizing effect of this war will have on oil markets that will cause a lot of problems for the rest of us. But not like Trump, not for Trump and his billionaire friends or for the people that are insider trading the information on Polymarket, where insider trading is now legal. Or on Kalshi, where Don, you know, which is also a prediction market where people can bet on world events, and Don Jr. is on the board of that, I believe.

"So, you know, it's basically plutocracy. And, unfortunately, the US and Israel have horrendous track records when it comes to civilian deaths. And it's nasty and terrible and makes me sick to my stomach that so many innocent people are dying so the rich can get richer.

"I don't know what else to say about it except I would like to point out to people that Pete Hegseth is a clown, but he's not actually in charge. People should be looking at the Deputy Secretary of War who's actually running things because Pete Hegseth doesn't know— I mean he's obviously retarded.

"So the person behind him is the person running things. And it's Steve Feinberg of Cerberus Capital Management, which the people on its board are a host of ex-spooks and former top neocon officials. And he used to own DynCorp and other major military contractors and is a very shady dude. He's also very good friends with Peter Thiel and that's why he gave the contract for the Golden Dome to Thiel-connected companies like Anduril who we talked about earlier being brought to Ohio and the Southern Air Transport Airport by Jobs Ohio.

"But, you know, we need to pay attention to these people that are actually running stuff. I would like to see a lot more people talking about Steve Feinberg and his role in this war. It's, you know, instead of, you know, Pete Hegseth is a, is a Fox and Friends TV host. He's there to serve that function as the public face to, you know, Boomers that liked watching him on Fox News, hoping that they would trust him when he leads them into war with Iran and boots on the ground and, and whatever.

"I mean, it's been crazy to see what's been going on with this war, because a lot of people like to paint it as incompetence, what the Trump administration has been doing in a communications sense. But really what they're doing is that they've turned the White House into a trading desk, and they're causing all of this volatility, because Trump can cause volatility in these markets just by tweeting something or putting something on Truth Social or saying anything. And the Iranians deny it because it's not happening, but he's just saying whatever to swing markets. And they're insider trading all of it."

Medellín, Colombia dropped its city's warming temps by a whopping 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

How?

They created "green corridors" of trees and plants throughout the built city.

It cost $6.50 per resident, and will save the city millions of dollars each year.

We need more of this!

"I'm not obligated to be polite to them. In fact, to be true to my people, I should say even more than I'm saying. Frankly, they deserve more. They deserve harsher words. I just don't have a vocabulary that's terrible enough to describe what they're doing...So I have bad words to give them, & that's what I'm going to do, and I think everybody should do it. I think no words, no terrible words should be spared for these monsters. Because they are monsters."
