Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.

In Newark, where Mayor Ras Baraka asked to enter a newly reopened ICE detention facility. Delaney Hall operators did not let the mayor into the facility. Newark is currently suing the operator of the facility for alleged permitting and inspections violations

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

Your American allies.

We the people are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover. On April 5, 5.2 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy!
Save the date for our next national day of action on April 19th.

Despite the backlash in recent years (in Ireland anyway!), rewilding is now well established in academic and practical responses to the biodiversity crisis.

🍂 Incredible mimicry! 🧡 Thanks, Frank!
Did you know New Zealand and other south-west Pacific islands have LEAF-VEINED SLUGS?!
Unlike their omnivorous European relatives, these unique leaf-mimicking slugs eat only fungi. They breathe mainly through the skin of the back, which is kept moist by secretions passing along the many grooves! 🧪

Taken 2 weeks ago at Flagstaff Viewpoint, near Newry. As the sun slowly ascended from behind Rostrevor Mountain it painted the cloud above in fiery colours and Carlingford Lough began to be bathed in a warm, ethereal light.
