"One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests. An area larger than Texas. The largest public land agency in the country. Just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it. And they did it with a press release on a Tuesday." hatchmag.com/articles/trump…

Absolute bombshell on Sky News. A Lebanese rescue worker completely dismantles the Israeli military narrative. He confirms the bombed area in Beirut was purely civilian with zero Hezbollah presence. Israel intentionally targeted innocent children and the elderly.

New drone shots of Kostyantynivka show the city in ruins. These are not random dots on a map. This city was filled with life, history and culture before russia arrived. Utterly despicable

Israel murdered Dr. Nadim Chamseddine in Mount Lebanon today. Not a fighter. Not a threat. A doctor. A healer devoted to saving lives. Israel slaughtered his wife Asrar, also a doctor, and their 3 children.

Absolute heartbreak on Al Jazeera. A brave resident exposes Israel's deliberate targeting of civilians. He breaks down after carrying a three year old child with shrapnel in his head. He confirms there were absolutely no military targets, just innocent families. Pure evil.

Israel destroyed the last bridge connecting southern Lebanon to the rest of the country. What Israel is currently doing in southern Lebanon is clearly aimed at ethnic cleansing and colonization. Civilians can't flee. Ambulances cannot reach the wounded or the hospitals on the other side. Laying siege cruelly cut off all fuel from entering, with threats to bomb aid trucks and medical vehicles heading south. Entire communities are cut off from essential supplies. Food, water, and medical supplies currently available in the south are sufficient for less than a month, with flagrant violations of international humanitarian law and the international community remains silent.

The plan for a Greater Israel extending over the West Bank into Lebanon and Syria laid out with great clarity by a senior government minister. This is of course completely illegal, goes against all the stipulations of International Law and should lead to immediate sanctions
Ihab Hassan@IhabHassane

At the inauguration of a new illegal settlement, Israel's Finance Minister Smotrich lays out his vision for a Greater Israel: “There will be expansion in Gaza that will extend our borders. In Lebanon, to the Litani, in Syria, Mount Hermon, parts of the north, south, and east.”

“The anger is widely spread” in Lebanon, says @DMiliband. “There's anger at Hezbollah for dragging Lebanon into the war. There's anger at Israel for the way in which it's conducting the campaign. There's anger at America. There's anger at their own government. There's a lot of anger, and the tension is high because a whole society is at risk.” In addition, he says, massive humanitarian aid cuts “are compounding the problem,” with research pointing to an increase in global conflicts since they came into force. “Yes, it's about politics that has broken down, but it's also about basic humanity that's broken down.”

Trump is overhauling the United States Forest Service. Dozens of research sites (including 6 in California) are being shut and offices merged. That means less science, fewer people on the ground, slower wildfire response, and worse decisions about how forests are managed. Less science + less planning + less coordination = higher long-term risk and potentially harder-to-manage fires.

Applebaum: Trump is listening to Putin. He is getting information about NATO only from his speeches. He is not looking at American history — which he doesn't know — nor at what's actually happening on the ground. 1/

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “It’s safe to say it is never a good time to get Rabies, but if you are going to get Rabies at some time in your life, do please try not to get it while Donald Trump is president of the United States, because in his infinite wisdom, among all of the other things he has done as president of the United States, Donald Trump has now, for some reason, broken the United States government to the extent that we’re no longer doing Rabies testing for the country anymore in the federal government.”🤦‍♀️

BREAKING! Amid widespread bombing across Arab regions, Israel approves its largest-ever colonial expansion. Under the "fog of war'', what I warned on 14 Oct 2023 is unfolding: the largest ethnic cleansing/land grab in Palestine, since the Nakba. It’s happening. Under our watch.
Itay Epshtain@EpshtainItay

BREAKING: More details come into view. #Israel’s Security Cabinet has reportedly approved 34 new settlements, further entrenching its unlawful presence deep within the occupied State of #Palestine. The secrecy surrounding the decree appears calibrated, not for domestic necessity, but to spare discomfort among allies in the region, Europe and the United States. The ICJ Advisory Opinion on the Legal Consequences of the Occupation of Palestinian Territory (2024) was unambiguous. Israel is under an obligation to bring its unlawful presence to an end, unconditionally and without delay. Third States are under a corresponding duty not to aid or assist in maintaining that situation, and to cooperate to bring it to an end. Yet the response has been one of studied inaction. The Court spoke with clarity; the world replied with silence. Israel, reading that silence for what it is, has chosen not restraint, but acceleration of its colonization efforts.

Fukuyama: The United States has never been as isolated as it is today. No sane European leader can believe backing America in Hormuz now would be reciprocated later by a Trumpist America. There has never been a time when the US was less trusted by friends and rivals alike. 1/

Hey @networkrail, there's a huge movement to protect and create nest sites for Swifts, a threatened red listed summer visiting bird, and this is what you do? You're an absolute disgrace! 😡 Sort it out! #UnblockTheNests
Deborah Pitman@DeborahPitman

Returning migrating birds face disaster in Derbyshire. @networkrail operatives have cemented nest entrances closed. Full details on the link. #UnblockOurNests #Swifts chapelbiodiversity.blogspot.com
