Canaima National Park encompasses 3 million hectares in southeastern Venezuela, where the country borders Brazil and Guyana. It’s distinguished by its numerous tepuis, massive flat-topped mountains that rise from grassy savanna and are often covered in mist.
Healthy ecosystems & human development can and should go hand in hand.
Policies that balance conservation with community needs, like sustainable fisheries and wildlife management, show us how to thrive while protecting nature.

Wer "lückenlose Überwachung" von Gefährdern ins Feld führt, wie es Merz heute tat, der kann nicht rechnen. Bei 9.100 Gefährdern in Deutschland und mit 2 Überwachern pro Person, bei täglich 3 Schichten, würde man 54.000 Beamte nur dazu benötigen, Gefährder zu beobachten. Stattdessen: Festsetzen und wo immer möglich, abschieben!
This is a disgrace.
A Gulf War Marine veteran named Albert O’Toole who served this country, took a blast that left him with TBI, and was later diagnosed with Alzheimer’s was beaten by his aide Matthew Cox inside the New York State Veterans Home in Montrose, New York.
His wife Angela Sangro became concerned after seeing unexplained bruises and heavy sedation. She installed a hidden camera. The footage shows the aide yanking food out of Albert’s hands, grabbing him by the neck, throwing him into a chair, punching him, and striking him in the head with a broom while he cried out in pain. No one came to help.
The state fired the abuser.
But the federal VA? Still has him employed. Still paying him while the case drags on.
You make veterans fight through hell just to get the benefits and compensation they earned with their blood and sacrifice. You move fast to cut or reduce what’s owed to them.
But when one of your own is caught on camera assaulting a defenseless veteran? You keep him on the federal payroll like it’s nothing.
@SecVetAffairs you talk about accountability. Here it is. Fire this man from the VA now. No pay. No protection. No more dragging it out.
@SecWar our warriors come home broken from fighting for this nation. They deserve better than a system that protects abusers while making veterans fight for every dollar they earned.
@SpeakerJohnson this is on you too. Oversight without teeth is just theater. Do your job.
This isn’t how you treat the men and women who served. This is a betrayal.
Veterans FIRST.
Zero tolerance for those who abuse them.
Immediate action. No excuses.
If you’re not outraged by this, you’re not paying attention.
Semper Fi.

In Iran, seven men were arrested for the gang rape of a girl, and the perpetrators begged the victim for mercy and forgiveness.
However, the girl refused, and all of them were sentenced to death by hanging.
Do you think this punishment is appropriate?
Tom Fletcher, @UNReliefChief, and Hans Grundberg, @OSE_Yemen, provide updates to the Security Council on the situation in #Yemen 🇾🇪.
They called for bolstered efforts to stave off rising hunger and foster a path towards permanent peace.

On April 14, 1865, just days after the American Civil War had effectively ended, President Abraham Lincoln attended a performance of Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. During the play, actor and Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth entered the presidential box and fatally shot Lincoln at close range before escaping.
Lincoln was carried across the street to the Peterson House, where he died the following morning on April 15, 1865, becoming the first U.S. president to be assassinated. Booth fled the city but was tracked down nearly two weeks later in Virginia, where he was killed after refusing to surrender to Union soldiers.
The assassination shocked the nation at a critical moment in its history. Lincoln had just begun outlining plans to reunify the country after the Civil War, and his death profoundly influenced the course of Reconstruction. Today, he is remembered as one of the most influential and respected leaders in American history.
Iran's biggest mistake was launching missiles on Diego Garcia base, demonstrating that the range of its ballistic missiles already covers most of Europe.
