Remember the video of the endangered manta ray captured from the wild for SeaWorld UAE under a special license from Florida Fish & Wildlife?

Rachel Maddow sounds the alarm on Donald Trump’s latest move to track the phones of all Americans: “This turns your own phone into a spy against you. This is a surviellance capability I have been laying awake at night thinking about for the past couple of years”

As for the Israeli army’s military prosecutor who dared to investigate their case — an investigation that led nowhere due to pressure from the Chief of Staff, the Defense Minister, and Netanyahu — she allegedly leaked the videos of the rape to the media. She has now been placed under detention on charges of obstructing the investigation after attempting suicide yesterday during the rapists’ press conference. She was dismissed from her position, defamed publicly, and is currently under investigation.

The IDF and ISA struck the Hamas terrorist Hassan Abdel Fattah Mohammed Aslih in the Khan Yunis area overnight.
Asilh, who operates under the guise of a journalist and owns a press company, is a terrorist operative in Hamas' Khan Yunis Brigade. On October 7, he infiltrated Israeli territory and participated in Hamas’ murderous massacre. Asilh documented and uploaded footage of looting, arson and murder to social media.
Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance and additional intelligence.
We will continue to operate to remove any threat to the State of Israel.

It's serious - and already dangerous.
But there are solutions.
The science is clear: the faster we cut emissions, the less suffering we will cause, and the better off we'll all be.
