Aloyce Mwakisoma, a renowned plant expert from Tanzania’s Udzungwa Mountains, was struck and killed by a bus on Oct. 6 near the village of Sanje. Mwakisoma, who was born and raised in the Udzungwas, had an encyclopedic knowledge of the plants and animals found in his home in the Eastern Arc.

They are just itching to get the bulldozers in and finish the job and steal the land for themselves.

NEWS! Doctors discover link between increasing number of children getting measles and their parents being gullible morons newsthump.com/2025/10/14/d...

Not homes. Not streets. ENTIRE TOWNS!

Grew up here. Never understood why Oxford thinks it is a cycling city. The cycle path up the Woodstock Rd is interupted by busstops, lampposts and trees all with painted markings that indicate that the cyclist should give way to them as well as every junction.

Sweet

The orange felon is really demented.

Some good news.

Who's next.

Lyme disease no thanks.

They love their dogs.

Ridiculous

It's getting pretty bad over there.

House Dems Launch Probe Into ‘Violent, Heavy-Handed’ ICE Raid of Chicago Apartment Complex

I sat on the Defend our Juries protest as a Jew opposing genocide and antisemitism countering the absurd insult that to oppose genocide is antisemitic. @defendourjuries.bsky.social @andrewfeinstein.bsky.social @owenjones.bsky.social @jewishvoice.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Meanwhile in Australia, the so-called National Press Club cancels decorated journalist, Chris Hedges, who was to speak on the "amplification of Israeli lies in the press, which most reporters know are lies, betraying Palestinian colleagues who are slandered, targeted and killed by Israel"

Exactly

Among the 161 arriving in Athens, MEP Rima Hassan reports that she was 'beaten' by Israeli police officers.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall — a UN Messenger of Peace — sat down for a deeply reflective conversation about her legacy and to immortalize her final words with the understanding that it would only be shared with the world after she passed.

Isr**l stinks.

Hope that many more will stand up.

In a characteristically Israeli act of revenge against the Sumud Flotilla, the IOF bombed the Gaza port today, murdering several children in the process.

A whopping 38% of Russia’s refining capacity is now offline, according to The Economist. Gasoline output fell by 1 million tons in September which has created a 20% domestic shortfall. Repairs may take months because of sanctions limiting access to parts and tech.

Global Sumud Flotilla had been pressing forward with its mission to break Israel's siege of Gaza.

She shall be dearly missed

Oh she shall be missed.

She's so good. I wish more Democrats would start nearly every statement they make by pointing out how historically unpopular Trump and Republicans are. Nobody wants what they're selling and it's good to point that out.

THREAD 🧵 #OnThisDay 25 years ago, Israeli forces shot and killed 12-year-old Palestinian boy Muhammad al-Durrah in Gaza as his father tried to shield him from bullets. The moment shook the world and turned al-Durrah into a symbol of the second Palestinian Intifada ⤵️

Are we now looking at sulphuramides as antibiotics fail.

And the same should apply everywhere. Public roads as well.

For centuries the British countryside has been a playground for bloodsport enthusiasts, killing any animal in sight. We're sick of it, join the growing movement to protect British wildlife.

After it was hit by several drones, Italy's defense minister said it has deployed a naval ship to protect the Global Sumud Flotilla as it seeks to break Israel's siege of Gaza and bring 250 tons of humanitarian aid. www.commondreams.org/news/italy-s...

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

Activists on board the Global Sumud Flotilla said they heard explosions and saw drone attacks late on Tuesday.

Or Farage's Britain?

Want to hear something shocking? We’ve managed to secure a Parliamentary debate on ending the badger cull (13th October) but right now, we think there are only about five MPs willing to speak out for the badgers.

It’s easy to take democracy for granted. It’s easy to assume that the Constitution is in stone. It’s not. This is a moment when your courage and your activism are most needed.

This, it seems, is what the BBC had in mind when it drew up plans in March to alter “story selection” to win over Reform voters.

There are two types of bathing:

Time will tell if this debate leads to real change but what’s certain is that we’ll keep up the pressure. This government needs to know we’re not going anywhere, and the public will keep demanding protection for British wildlife. #news #debate #parliament #wildlife

Stop our government from suppling arms to Israel.
