I think this isn't getting enough attention. In a world packed with overwhelming bad news, I feel like this still ultimately will trump it all. Which is very bad.

Never-ending fossil fuel wars are a lethal distraction: New study shows global warming doubling in speed since 2015, to 0.35°C/decade, while we fight over the last drop of oil Apocalyptic warming isn’t coming; it’s here. Almost no one is looking up agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

When @MoatsTV George Galloway said the attack on Iraq would open the gates of hell he was spot on. Hell for all on earth except a small elite.

blacking out the morning sky for a city of 10 million from bombing civilian oil facilities. a horrific ecological and public health disaster. i have no words for this war crime, just unspeakable evil

One wonders what Trump’s Reichstag fire will be It’s coming, for sure

A scientific consensus isn't a group of scientists agreeing. It's repeated results from independent studies all pointing the same way. We don't agree smoking causes cancer. We know - because study after study shows it. Consensus = consistent evidence. Not collective opinion.

Bees lives less than 40 days, visit at least 1000 flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey. For us it is only a teaspoon of honey, but for the bee it is a lifetime of work. Thank You Bees!

🚨 Trump just bombed Iran’s freshwater desalination plants on Qeshm Island and took credit for it. 30 villages now have no clean water. Not a military base. Not a weapons depot. Not a missile launcher. The water supply. An elementary school. A boys’ school. A civilian airport. Oil depots. And now the freshwater supply for 30 villages. The White House official said the goal is to seize “all the oil.” Hegseth said “the only ones that need to be worried are Iranians that think they’re going to live.” Attacking civilian water infrastructure is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. Full stop.

This extraordinary illustration, titled Wild World, is a hand-drawn global map created by artist and cartographer Anton thomas. Instead of political borders and city names, the map highlights wildlife, placing animals in their native habitats across every continent and ocean. Over the course of three years, Thomas meticulously illustrated 1, 642 species using coloured pencil and pen. Each animal is positioned according to its natural range, transforming the familiar shape of the world into a celebration of biodiversity. By removing human boundaries and focusing on ecosystems, the map offers a powerful reminder that the planet is shared space. It invites us to see geography not just as nations and borders, but as living habitats that connect species across land and sea.

Talarico: They want us focused on how we're different, instead of on how we're the same. Because our unity is a threat to their wealth and their power. So they so they divide us on an hourly basis, by party, by race, by gender, by religion. So we don't notice that they are picking our pockets, they are closing our schools, they're gutting our health care, they're raising taxes on all of us while they cut taxes for themselves.  The real fight in this country is not left versus right. It's top versus bottom. Those billionaires want us looking left and right at our neighbors instead of looking up at them.

🚨 BREAKING: The House Oversight Committee just voted to subpoena Pam Bondi over the Epstein investigation. 24-19. Five Republicans crossed over. This is massive. Pam Bondi runs the DOJ that withheld Epstein images showing death and physical abuse. That redacted the names of powerful clients. That was caught red handed hiding FBI witness interviews of a woman accusing Trump of sexually assaulting her as a minor. And now five Republicans just voted to drag her in front of Congress under oath. The walls are closing in.

Can you imagine the Republican reaction if a woman president said she went to war because she had a “feeling”

Talarico: We’re running against the billionaire megadonors and their corrupt political system. They’ll call me a radical leftist. They’ll call me a fake Christian. They’ll call our movement un-Texan, un-American. They’ll call us a threat. The only truth in that is that we are a threat to their corrupt system.

🚨 BREAKING: The US just asked Ukraine for help intercepting Iranian drones. Let that sink in. The same administration that cut off Ukraine’s weapons. That humiliated Zelensky in the Oval Office. That called him a dictator. That parroted Russian talking points for months. Just called Ukraine for help. And Zelensky said yes — on his terms. Who has the leverage now? Trump started an illegal war with no plan, lost bases across the Middle East, closed the Strait of Hormuz to China, and now needs the man he tried to destroy to bail him out. The tables didn’t just turn. They flipped.

Karoline Leavitt: "we had a very stupid and incompetent leader in this White House for four years who gave away many of our best weapons for nothing, for free, to another country very far away by the name of Ukraine." Honestly, the sheer heartlessness, ruthlessness, and cruelty of saying that while we are still under attack, trying to survive. While entire families are being killed in russian bombings due to a lack of air defense missiles, and when we barely survived last winter’s humanitarian catastrophe caused by russian strikes on our infrastructure. I don’t know... I’m just stunned.

According to the IPCC global warming levels that scientists warn will obliterate up to 33-70% of Earth's species are expected within a handful of decades.

Co-extinctions Intense human activities (land-use change, overexploitation, climate change, pollution,introduction of invasive species, etc) is causing an extinction acceleration at least 10s to 100s of times faster than the natural process of extinctions. news.un.org/en/story/2024/…
