We are not going ANYWHERE ! Anti-Zionist Jews set the Israeli flag on fire. "Israel Is a - TERROR STATE!"

Israel gave final approval to a settlement project in the heart of the occupied West Bank that supporters and critics alike say will deal a major blow to the contiguity of territory that Palestinians hope will be part of a future independent state.

With no other European nation coming to Ukraine's aid, Russia is calmly continuing its war of extermination against the Ukrainian nation and its culture. On Monday 18th, Russian Soldiers used drones to attack a university building in Sumy, destroying 15,000 books and expensive research equipment.

In case you're wondering why a youth sex ed site would create something like this—a leading cause of youth homelessness is coming out as LGBTQ to your parents. I'm a big fan of Scarleteen & you should throw them a donation if you can.

We aren't well served by our news outlets when they uncritically repeat questionable opinions or downright false claims by celebrity moneybags with a vested interest.

The recovery of gray whales gives me hope. The Pacific population was hunted to near extinction and rebounded to 27k in 2016 thanks to protections such as working w/ fisheries on take reduction. The latest counts show a dip to 14,500. Much like our rights, protecting Nature requires vigilance.

Climate change made the relentless heatwave in Norway, Sweden and Finland about 2°C hotter and at least ten times more likely. Our latest study was published this morning. “This event should be taken as another reminder that no country is safe from climate change” - @frediotto.bsky.social 🧵

When asked to comment on his A-level results by the BBC reporter, this young man replied "So, on that note I just want to say Free Palestine. End the genocide, and the BBC is complicit." Legend. #FreePalestine #EndTheGenocide

The gutting of nature from the Infrastructure, Climate & Nature Fund to finance transport, energy & water infrastructure projects in the National Development Plan is very alarming. Great to see our view on the NDP referenced in a recent @irishtimes.com editorial www.irishtimes.com/opinion/edit...

If there was ever a doubt the council/government message is now crystal clear in Ireland: Pay an increase in tax for living in your home Pay nothing if you let property rot onto the street Clearly tax is theft when it comes to property hoarders, speculators, developers ... #DerelictIreland

Tell those cowards to uncover their faces. Imagine being a woman and several masked individuals approach you like this and try to force out into a van.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.
