As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...

In 2019, a Persian leopard named Aren was first spotted in Armenia. Later that year, he was seen again, but he was missing a leg. Rangers believe he stepped on a landmine. Aren's story shows how roads, fences, & landmines fragment the habitat of this endangered species. By @ayleighk.bsky.social.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

The wealthiest and most powerful men on Earth have decided they will happily kill us all, whether with nukes or starvation or disease, to keep from facing the consequences of their lifetimes of crime The Epstein scandal, the warmongering, the worship of money, we're sick of it all Time for change

ZOHRAN: “TBH, I don’t think too much about how Republicans portray me. The power of an ideology is judged in the worth of its delivery— to be told a city-run grocery store is implausible but $500 MILLION/day to kill ppl in Iran & Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics.”

For the first time, researchers have documented sperm whales assisting in a birth—even when they aren't related to the mother. Sperm whales are known for "alloparenting," but this observation suggests their coordinated care begins at the very moment of birth. Story by Bobby Bascomb for #Mongabay.

We take you inside a lab at Environment and Climate Change Canada that could go from 9 scientists to 1, thanks to PM Carney's public service cuts. This lab makes sure our water isn't slick with oil, and our fish aren't infested with plastics.

A North Dakota judge ordered @greenpeace.org to pay $345 million in damages to the pipeline company Energy Transfer caused by protest actions in 2016/17. This is a textbook #SLAPP – a strategic lawsuit against public participation, designed to silence dissent through crushing legal costs. A 🧵

Today, US & Israeli forces bombed the Gandhi Children’s Hospital in Iran’s capital of Tehran. Nurses supposedly risked their lives carrying newborns to safety from the rubble. I’m having trouble finding more reporting about this, but here is at least a blurb from Reuters:

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Remember that one can be against a hateful regime, as is the case with the Iranian regime, as is the whole of Spanish society, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

Road salt applied to streets and parking lots is washing into Lake Simcoe and other watersheds throughout Ontario, putting biodiversity and drinking water at risk. @leahbortskuperman.bsky.social reports on the problem — as well as one potential solution. thenarwhal.ca/lake-simcoe-...

After decades of decline, North America’s birds are vanishing even faster. A new Science study finds populations falling across most regions, with intensive agriculture the strongest driver. Scientists warn the losses threaten ecosystem services that support food systems and human well-being.

Huge mistake. Now Carney looks like he’s a pedophile protector to the people of the United States, trying to oust our current murderous regime
