This is the worst “strong support” I’ve ever received.

However, the malevolent uselessness of @EnvAgency is not limited to the recent incident on the Aldersbrook. Over the last 10 years I have been battling, along with hundreds of dedicated local volunteers, to protect & restore the River Roding against all the odds. The Environment Agency has not lifted a finger to help in these actions & indeed has often been a blocker to our work on the river.

Here’s some examples of the “strong support” we’ve received from the Environment Agency over the years… 🧵

Mayor Mamdani promotes expanding pet-friendly housing in New York, arguing families shouldn’t have to surrender animals due to rental rules. He emphasizes the importance of keeping people and pets together, especially in housing crises where community support is vital.

A barrister hired a digger and physically restored a dead river, brought back fish, herons and dragonflies, and the Environment Agency response is to threaten him with two years in prison for not having a permit.

Looks like a deal!

The chief says it will take MONTHS to investigate this like we can't all see the video. What they hope is people will forget about it and the cop will be free to kill actual people next time.

Because of my anti-Trump posts, my account with over 700K+ followers was reported by MAGA and was shut down.

I’m back with a new account and will keep speaking out.

Please follow, repost, and help me rebuild. Thank you.

I feel like I'm going insane.

🇺🇸🇮🇹 Trump Humiliates Meloni in Phone Call — Rome Cancels US Trip

Trump told Italian TV that Meloni "begged" him for a photo at the G7 in Évian and that he "felt sorry for her" — adding he wasn't even "obligated" to talk to her.

Meloni responded on video: the claims are "completely invented," she's "frankly stunned," and "Italy and I never beg."

Foreign Minister Tajani scrapped his Miami trip outright, calling the remarks "grave and offensive to all of Italy."

Bison Who Killed 70 Year Old Woman Won’t Be Euthanized After Public Backlash

A bull bison that fatally attacked a 70 year old Canadian woman in South Dakota’s Custer State Park has reportedly been spared from euthanasia after widespread public opposition.

According to investigators, the woman and her husband encountered a group of bull bison while hiking. Officials say the couple initially moved away from the animals but later continued following the herd. One of the bulls eventually charged, tossing the woman into the air and inflicting injuries that proved fatal.

After the attack, many assumed the bison would be put down. Instead, public backlash quickly followed, with many arguing that a wild animal should not be destroyed for behaving like a wild animal. State officials ultimately agreed to relocate the bull to the Rosebud Sioux Tribe rather than euthanize it.

The decision has sparked a debate among outdoorsmen and wildlife enthusiasts. If a wild animal attacks someone after being approached in its own habitat, should it be destroyed, or should relocation be enough?

What do you think?

I think neither ~ it is in its own territory so leave it be!

Land bordering Yosemite, Sequoia, and Pinnacles National Parks — now cleared for oil rigs and fracking. YES fracking!

Two hundred thousand people said NO. The federal government did it anyway.

Over 1 million acres of California public land just got opened up - land that touches ancient sequoia groves older than the country itself and sits right in Yosemite’s backyard.

Patagonia's CEO came out swinging, accusing the administration of putting oil profits over the planet's health and saying public land was never meant to be sold off to drilling companies.

And the man who'll make the final call? He was recently confirmed to run BLM after his own state party called him "an outright enemy of public lands."

Who's going to tell a tree older than the country that its time is up?

This is a pretty amazing thread of the most influential people in the world standing up to corruption and supporting compassion for pigs.

Pigs!

The world is changing folks. And we're just getting fucking started!

Caught a very sad older cat whose chip details were not up to date. Found out original owner had died some time ago. Safe now.

The U.S. government just made a land deal with the world's first trillionaire. Not a sale. A trade.

Because apparently that's how we do things now.

715 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge - built by Congress in 1979 to protect one of the most biodiverse wildlife corridors left in North America - handed to SpaceX.

Endangered ocelots. Aplomado falcons. Piping plovers. Land the Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation of Texas has called sacred since long before there was a United States.

SpaceX built a rocket launch site next door. Then came the explosions. Concrete and metal hurled six miles across refuge land. A 2024 study found that after one launch, every single monitored shorebird nest near the site suffered egg damage or loss. The Fish and Wildlife Service's response was not enforcement. It was a land swap.

FOIA documents show internal planning for this transfer started as early as April 2025 - while Musk was running DOGE and threatening to fire federal workers who didn't justify their jobs to him. The agency developed what they called "the most expedited schedule possible" to get it done.

Part of what's being handed over includes the Palmito Ranch Battlefield - the site of the last battle of the Civil War. A National Historic Landmark. Once transferred, SpaceX can restrict public access whenever they want.

25,000+ people submitted public comments. Most opposed the deal. The government moved forward anyway.

A coalition of tribal and conservation groups filed a federal lawsuit this week to stop it. Because someone has to.

Why are we cutting real estate deals with a trillionaire when we could have just made him pay for it?
