Before she passed, Jane Goodall was interviewed as recently as last week, and her message was clear, consistent, and timely: "Humans are not exempt from extinction."
Jane Goodall’s final, urgent, message
"Intelligent creatures don’t destroy their only home.”

“PROJECT 2025 Fame,” he writes, after denying he knew anything about it during his campaign.

He’s just drooling at the prospect of causing massive harm. It’s gross.
President Trump says he is meeting today with Russ Vought, OMB director and "of PROJECT 2025 Fame," to discuss cuts to "Democrat Agencies."

MAGA now celebrates cancel culture, promotes safe spaces for conservatives, believes free speech should be curtailed, and thinks words encourage violence.

Exact opposite of all their positions.

Its almost as if they're bad faith hypocrites who want power by any means necessary.

Nobody in history has deserved losing an election more than Democrats did in 24, even if the consequences of that loss are ultimately being felt by others.

I don’t know about you, but seeing these three together makes me feel a whole lot less safe. Marles handing over our cash with the same rote lines about shared history and values, and the other two grinning like cats about to eat a mouse. Time to end AUKUS and save us from this.

We're at the stage that it is news when Israel spends a day not committing war crimes.

Speaking as someone who consumed Italian news from a variety of channels, mainstream and not, Bergoglio's determination and sheer ability to remind people about Gaza had no parallels. This would have applied also to Catholics who followed Pope news worldwide. Really hoping the same of the next guy.

There were 69 journalists killed in all of WW2. 63 in Vietnam. The Israelis have killed more than 200 in Gaza. Deliberate murder to silence reporting.
