In a historic environmental decision, Iceland officially canceled its 2025 whaling season, protecting hundreds of fin whales from being hunted. This move aligns with global conservation efforts to preserve marine biodiversity and protect endangered species.
Fin whales, the second-largest mammals on Earth, play a vital role in marine ecosystems by maintaining food chain balance and contributing to ocean health. Iceland’s decision reflects growing environmental awareness and commitment to sustainable practices.
By safeguarding these majestic creatures, the country sets an example for responsible wildlife management, proving that economic interests can coexist with conservation. The cancellation marks a triumph for marine life advocates and signals a shift toward ethical stewardship of the oceans.

It's hard to capture just how destructive the biased @nytimes coverage of the genocide in Gaza has been. I am joining 300+ scholars, public figures, and writers in boycotting the Times and demanding accountability. Learn more here: https://t.co/FX3vvk52TU
This will go down in history as a key part of the calamity. The public didn’t believe scientists most dire warnings so we had to focus on minor lifestyle issues like an increase in turbulence and the end of chocolate. That’s how far gone we are.
The UAE enabled these atrocities and rapes in Sudan with its ongoing support for the RSF militia. And in a broader sense, both the Biden and Trump administrations have been complicit as well, for they both refused to publicly hold the UAE accountable.
These irreplaceable old growth forests continue to be logged across British Columbia. Over 1,200 people have been arrested trying to keep them standing.
There is no time to waste. Protect the Irreplaceable.

On Thursday, a massive section of the Ismoil Somoni Glacier in Tajikistan broke off near Safedobi village, sliding down a gorge.
The ice, about 2 kilometers long, 25 meters high, and up to 200 meters wide, caused no casualties or major damage.
Experts warn heavy rain and further calving could trigger floods or landslides, threatening nearby farms.
Climate change is driving rising temperatures in Tajikistan, which are double the global average, and have already caused the loss of over 1,000 glaciers, putting water supplies for agriculture and hydropower at risk.
This weekend, the Israeli army began building its “Yellow Line” in Gaza — tall yellow-painted concrete blocks placed every 200 meters along the boundary it claims to have withdrawn to under the ceasefire. Each 10-foot marker bears a yellow metal sign. The line cuts across more than 53% of Gaza, splitting densely populated areas. The Israeli military is shooting any Palestinian who approaches the yellow line. 🧵
Gaza: "Two weeks into the ceasefire, more than 20 Palestinians are still being killed on average each day, many of them close to the yellow line. Consequently, very few of the displaced are returning to the area under Israeli control." https://t.co/brFSIuy0xH
BREAKING: 300+ writers, scholars & public figures refuse to write for the New York Times Opinion section in a collective effort to hold the paper accountable for its role in the genocide in Gaza.
This camera should be exhibited one day in the Genocide Memorial built in memory of the innumerable victims of Israel's genocide in Gaza.
Shame on all journalists not raising their voice against the massacre of their brave Palestinian colleagues while documenting the genocide.
At what point do world leaders admit Israel has gone too far?
This picture prompted president Reagan to call Israel's 1982 assault on Lebanon a "Holocaust" & force an end to the war
What's Gaza's tipping point? I thought Hind Rajab would be it; or the Flour Massacre; famine confirmations; Ward Sheikh Khalil walking through flames next to the corposes of her mother & siblings; Shaaban al-Dalou burning alive at AlAqsa hospital; the WCK massacre; mass graves; murdering women holding white flags; targeting children with direct shots to the heads; the Paramedics Massacre; bombing churches; bombing soap kitchens; bombing kids queuing for water; wiping out Rafah, Jabalia, Khan Younis, Beit Lahia & Beit Hanoun; killing the highest number of humanitarian workers & journalists in human history; bombing ambulances on camera; hundreds of children dying from hunger; displacing 90% of the population; establishing extermination zones; murdering over 2,000 people queuing for food; squeezing Gazans in less than 10% of the enclave; murdering a 100 people per day; murdering a whole class of kids per day...
It seems, nothing Israel does will ever be too far to the leaders of the "civilized world"!
Mariam Dagga, killed by Israel today, was an incredibly talented photographer. She relentlessly and courageously documented the genocide. I'm going to share some of her images. Graphic content included.
Two weeks ago, @NirHasson@YardenMichaeli conducted a virtual tour from the children’s department at Nasser Hospital for @haaretz, where they saw starving and dying children. Mu’ath Abu Taha held the camera for them.
Today, the IDF killed him, along with 17 others.
To my fellow journalists worldwide:
If you are not outraged by our colleagues in #Gaza being slaughtered — if you are not speaking out, demanding protection, and calling for accountability — shame on you.
History will judge this silence.

In runup to Trump/Putin meeting & today's meet with Zelinsky DN! interviews no Ukrainians at all! Instead "realist" professor Mearsheimer and liberal Matt Duss, both defeatists Friends of human rights should do a point by point refutation of vanden Huevel's excuses @newrepublic
