Seen these videos going around of “shark rescues”? They’re all staged for clicks — and sharks are being killed to make them. In this video, I review evidence of hundreds of instances of illegal shark poaching on social media. Sign our petition: change.org/stopsharkpoach…
While starving Gaza and its 80% refugee population, Israel is expanding its war on Palestinian refugees—and on their very ‘refugee-ness’—in the West Bank. Our updated analysis shows that the Israeli military is continuing to carve up the refugee camps of Tulkarm, Jenin and Nur…
I have never felt so shaken. Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch. How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation…
The sheer intellectual collapse you have to experience to be faced with 122 international aid organisations telling you the same thing... ISRAEL IS STARVING GAZANS... only to decide they are ALL lying & that actually Benjamin Netanyahu, on trial for fraud, is telling the truth.

EGYPT: OPEN THE FUCKING GATES
UNRWA has enough food for the entire population of #Gaza for over three months stockpiled in warehouses–including this one in Al Arish, Egypt–awaiting entry. The supplies are available. The systems are in place. Open the gates, lift the siege, allow UNRWA to do its work and…
wrangled some frenchies A dog breeder dumped seven of these in a park. They were going to die of heat stroke since their collapsed noses cannot properly ventilate. This is the most popular breed in the United States. When you buy from breeders, you support killing dogs.
didn't realize just how much was being spent by the DOE on renewables R&D under Carter. like twice as much as under Biden
In just four hours of marine debris cleanup in Tampa Bay: •50+ abandoned crab traps •Thousands of pounds of plastic •Hundreds of feet of ropes and fishing line
I can’t believe my history teacher told me about losers like Thomas Jefferson, but not Guy Bradley.
89% of building in Rafah and 84% of buildings in northern Gaza have been destroyed. When the U.S. nuked Hiroshima it destroyed 67% of the buildings and 40% in Nagasaki. The destruction in Gaza is likely the most severe of any residential area in warfare history.

Shame on #Canada for continuing to allow Endangered long-tailed #macaques to be imported from #Cambodia by Charles River Laboratories. Hundreds were transported by #SkyTaxi & arrived at @YMXAirport on 15 July. Their likely fate is to be used in toxicity (poisoning) tests.
