Africa is building an 8,000 km "Wall of Trees" spanning the entire width of the continent.

The Great Green Wall project aims to restore 100 million hectares of degraded land, battle climate change, and bring food security to millions.

Why is Jivani taking pictures with a U.S. official who called Alex Pretti and Renée Good terrorists and defended their murders at the hands of ICE and Border Patrol gestapo?

He should explain himself.

[Ross 🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦 @ggrmcd]

Should we ask them questions about attending events like this?

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.

No President in History has ended the same war so many times.

Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.

No President has ever done this before.

And he is nowhere near finished ending it.

It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Wow — Active duty Air Force Major Jason Watson. Arrested for protesting Trump.

Trump is personally responsible for 28% of the national deficit of a 250 year old country.

Let that sink in.

We should all be embarrassed.

Running a gas leaf blower for 30 minutes produces roughly the same hydrocarbon pollution as driving a car 1,100 miles and shreds next summer's insects.

That's before you get to what the air does to the yard itself. Leaf blower air exits the nozzle at up to 200 miles per hour. That's enough to shred caterpillars, strip butterfly eggs off leaves, and fling overwintering fireflies, ladybugs, and ground beetles into the street.

The leaf litter being blown to the curb is where next summer's insects were waiting out the winter. A chickadee pair needs 6,000 to 9,000 caterpillars to raise one brood. Most of those overwinter in exactly the debris being removed.

California banned gas-powered leaf blowers. So did Washington DC and a growing number of cities. Germany's environment ministry advised citizens to avoid them unless "indispensable," which is a very German way of saying please stop.

The leaves can be raked into beds as mulch, mowed over and left as nutrients, or just left alone. Any of those options take roughly the same time and produce approximately zero hydrocarbon pollution and zero shredded caterpillars.

The leaf blower is loud, bad for air quality, and running a massacre on the insects that feed your birds. Is it time to ban them entirely?

Four Supreme Court justices have argued that Donald Trump can change the Constitution with an executive action, BUT JOE BIDEN CAN’T FORGIVE YOUR STUDENT LOAN DEBT.

It’s rigged. Burn it all down.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The Constitution barely survived today.

By a 5-4 vote, Trump’s Supreme Court declined to let him rewrite the Constitution and end birthright citizenship.

We’re hanging on by a thread. The fight to defend our democracy is far from over.

Everyone talks about coyotes like they're criminals lurking outside plotting to murder your pets, steal your man, and commit tax fraud. Most of the time, they're just hanging out eating rats.

Coyotes now live in nearly every major city in North America. Chicago has studied them for more than 20 years. New York City has them. Los Angeles has them. Your suburb almost certainly has them.

But most people never see them because urban coyotes are extremely good at living around us without being noticed. Chicago researchers found they shift much of their activity to night, use greenways, rail lines, drainage corridors, parks, cemeteries, and other scraps of habitat, all to avoid you and your dog.

Despite prevailing belief, their usual diet isn't labradoodles, cats, and toddlers.

In many cities, coyotes mostly eat rodents, rabbits, fruit, deer carrion, and other available prey. They also help suppress opportunistic animals that boom in human landscapes: rats, mice, rabbits, geese, raccoons, skunks, foxes, and woodchucks.

When you remove top predators from a landscape, you don't get peace. You usually get more of whatever they were controlling.

But here is the honest part coyote haters and lovers need to hear: coyotes will take small pets if we make it easy for them.

A loose cat outside at night in coyote country is not 'getting fresh air.' It is prey-sized animal in predator habitat. A small dog wandering unsupervised near woods, parks, golf courses, creek corridors, or brushy edges at dawn, dusk, or night is also at real risk.

That does not make coyotes evil. They're predators doing what they do, and your pets are your responsibility.

If you live in coyote country, keep cats indoors. Go outside with your small dogs. Use a leash. Pick up fallen fruit. Do not leave pet food outside. Secure trash and compost. Never feed coyotes. If one gets too comfortable near you, scare it off: yell, wave your arms, make noise, make yourself big, and do not run.

Coexistence doesn't mean pretending coyotes are harmless woodland puppies, but some really simple actions can keep you, your family, and your pets safe.

Brazil has a 46-meter wall of stone covered in 400+ undeciphered symbols carved beside a flooding river.

Pedra do Ingá is ~6,000 years old. Researchers have found what appears to be a solar calendar, star maps, and constellation groupings carved into basalt.

No one knows who made it. No one knows what it says

Whoever wrote this dialogue deserves serious recognition.
