"The National Development Plan announced by the government this week has allocated nothing to nature, instead taking 3.15 billion euro from the Climate +Nature Fund for infrastructure."

The gutting of nature from the Infrastructure, Climate & Nature Fund to finance transport, energy & water infrastructure projects in the NDP is very alarming, deeply disappointing & flies in the face of the Government’s previous guarantees on nature restoration environmentalpillar.ie/environmenta...

Those complicit in Israel's genocide will go to jail.
Stop being defeatist. Stop making the lack of justice a self-fulfilling prophecy.
This crime is too extreme, too depraved, too confessed to, too documented.
It may take years. But they will go to jail.

The U.N. must be allowed unhindered access to Gaza. All access routes must be opened for aid distribution. Nothing is as important as this now. #freepalestine #feedgaza

If any country that actually cared about nature had only 1% natural woodland left, it would be paying farmers to keep their sheep OUT.
But in Ireland, they're paid to do the exact opposite, ensuring last remnants are eaten to death.
This is how much we care.

Global average temperature is expected to rise to almost 2C above preindustrial in the next five years, according to the WMO, with falls in crop yields and more than a third of the world’s population being exposed to extreme heat.
People, I'm sorry but we have to deal with this. Later is too late.

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch
A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...
![In an interview with Popular Information, his first with any media outlet, Hermosillo said DHS'.
's account was false.
According to Hermosillo, he was visiting his girlfriend's family in Tucson from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Several hours before his arrest, Hermosillo was transported to a hospital in Tucson by ambulance after suffering from a seizure. He has a New Mexico state ID, but did not take it with him during the medical emergency.
After being released from the hospital following treatment, Hermosillo did not know how to return to where he was staying.
He approached the Border Patrol officer because he was looking for someone to help him. "I saw a car, and I askled] him for help," Hermosillo said. He told the officer that he was staying in Tucson.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreie3gc6fndj7mtotijddm4eg264zgsqxpn4nbekb3xq5ubdmskvr6u@jpeg)
!["You"
re not from here. Do you have your
papers?" the officer said, according to Hermosillo. When the officer asked where he was from, Hermosillo said he told the officer,
"New Mexico." The officer then accused Hermosillo of lying. "Don't make me lout] like [I'm] stupid," the officer said. "I know you're from Mexico." After that, Hermosillo said, he was arrested.
Hermosillo said that he never told the officer that he was born in Mexico, was a citizen of Mexico, or entered the country illegally. And he would not have said those things because they are not true. He signed the transcript released by DHS because the officer ordered him to "sign everything." But Hermosillo did not read it, because he cannot read.
According to Hermosillo's girlfriend, Grace Hernandez, Hermosillo has learning disabilities and can only write his name.
Hermosillo said he did not graduate from high school and dropped out after the 10th grade.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreiensu64iobo4ftuqeaighf2p5k745uzdnmhcecugsi4ec74dnqse4@jpeg)
