Thousands of long-tailed macaques are exported by #Mauritius every year to suffer & die in toxicity testing laboratories in the USA, EU & UK. Shame on @Ramgoolam_Dr & @SeeMauritius - the reputation of Mauritius as a holiday paradise is tarnished by such inhumanity to #monkeys.

Two-thirds of the horseshoe crabs taken from Delaware Bay get chopped up for bait. It's caused one shorebird to decline by 94%.

Fishermen cut up horseshoe crabs to bait traps for eel and whelk. Unlike the biomedical harvest, where crabs are bled and released, none of these come back.

Every spring, rufa red knots fly from the southern tip of South America to the Arctic. Nine thousand miles. Partway up they stop at Delaware Bay, timed to the exact two weeks when horseshoe crabs are spawning, and eat almost nothing but crab eggs.

They need to roughly double their body weight in that window. It's the only refueling stop on the route that works.

Fewer crabs, fewer eggs. A bird that arrives and can't put on the weight doesn't make it to the Arctic, and if it does, it doesn't have the reserves to breed.

The rufa red knot population is down as much as 94% over 40 years. It's listed as threatened.

The whole thing runs on a two-week overlap between an animal that predates trees and a bird crossing two continents. Take enough crabs off that beach and the overlap stops working.

Welcome back to one of the most consequential and courageous human beings of this century: easily one of a small handful of pioneers for the causes of a free internet and independent journalism.

Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer in California ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... I'm not all that interested in having a conversation about a Twitch streamer"

THE ULTIMATE BETRAYAL:
For the first time in decades, Madhuri discovered what being an elephant means.
She walked on soft grass. She splashed in ponds. She made a best friend named Shanti. ❤️🐘
Today, that life has been ripped away. 💔
After finally finding safety and care, Madhuri has been returned to shackles, isolation, and the very environment that left her physically and psychologically broken. While fireworks exploded and crowds screamed, she was dragged back into a life no elephant should ever endure. Instead of real trees, she will only have painted ones. And somewhere, Shanti is still waiting for her friend to come home.

Madhuri deserves rehabilitation, not imprisonment. Speak up for her NOW. 💔 Take action: https://t.co/LDhH05zeYv

I hope you become #vegan after you watch this.

Macklemore just summed it all up perfectly:

“I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.
The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone.”

Enough is enough. Stop the genocide and stop the assault on free speech that Israel is waging to silence any and all criticism of its barbaric policies.

Never in modern history has it been so obvious who the bad guys are in a conflict.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

#NeverForget the US used 9/11 to invade Iraq and kill 1 million Iraqis, despite Iraq having no involvement in 9/11 and no weapons of destruction.

IT WAS ALL BASED ON A LIE AS EVERY US WAR IS.

4.5 million people have been killed by the US in post-9/11 wars. Their lives mattered.

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

Hakeem Jeffries is fine with racism as long as it's against Muslim and Arab Americans. He chose not to say a word to defend Zohran Mamdani from the vile racist attacks against the mayor from the Islamophobes demanding he not attend the 9/11 ceremony in NY.

Despite receiving Mamdani's loud endorsement. Despite Mamdani shutting down a primary challenge to Jeffries.

This is who Hakeem Jeffries is: unyeilding support for Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and Lebanese abroad, notably silent on anti-Muslim hate at home.

Nah. You totally waited. Waited until there were no functional hospitals, until the death toll rose in the thousands, waited until they were dropping white phosphorus on civil population, you just waited....did NOTHING to stop the genocide.

Ha'aretz reports that Hamas, through Qatar, conveyed immediately on Oct. 7 that they were willing to return all the civilian hostages for nothing -- their only ask was for a mediator to arrange the exchange and establish a connection to then negotiate the further release of the soldiers. Israel refused to talk or hear about it.

So Qatar reached out to Antony Blinken to let him know that Hamas was willing to release all the civilian hostages.

Blinken told Qatar he didn't want to hear it because "Israel is still under attack, and there's no one to talk to."

Blinken had the opportunity to free every single civilian hostage and de-escalate the situation. Instead he wanted war.
