I was trying to find old photos of Rafah and how it looked before 2023 but it was a real struggle to find them and all the photos I could find were of death and destruction. We’re witnessing an erasure of a once lively and bustling place via image search. Real time ethnic cleansing.

Endangered wildlife can't survive if streams they live in are "devoured by hungry cows & made into stinking manure pits year after year." New report @biologicaldiversity.org urges feds to get cattle out of sensitive habitats where they don’t belong. www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/pub...

Happy to see SOMEONE finally standing their ground for once. Wish it was someone who isn't bought by AIPAC (Booker is #20 in most Senate AIPAC $$), but I guess there aren't too many of those out there these days. theintercept.com/2019/03/30/c...

Salam. I don't know if we'll survive. A stifling siege and a famine resembling the end of the world. Electricity has been cut off, wells have dried up, and the air has burned. We're experiencing a real famine, to the point where we'll start eating animal food. For the second year. Ethnic cleansing😔

1. Wildlife photographer shocked after “ghost neighbour” Cougar he tracked for four years is killed by hunters. John Marriott had been tracking the cougar for four years using trail cameras, and recently he was shocked to discover that hunters killed her and left her kittens to fend for themselves.
