The United States is moving B-2 bombers to the Pacific island of Guam, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Saturday, as Donald Trump weighs whether the United States should take part in Israel’s strikes against Iran. www.huffpost.com/entry/text_n...

Chamboi, an endangered black rhino, browsing with Twiggy the giraffe — our resident ‘mother hen’ and social butterfly. Rescued as vulnerable orphans, brought into our care, and now growing up in a protected space, they have access to food, doting Keepers, and unexpected friendships: t.co/RNRO7wx54j

It’s Raha’s favourite time: nap-time! As a baby, Raha was attacked by predators, leaving her with a mutilated rear end and a host of veterinary challenges. Her journey has been difficult, but we’re so encouraged by her progress and constantly inspired by her determination: t.co/WuE6D7kU4U

Two years ago, a tiny orphaned elephant began trailing safari vehicles in the Mara, searching for company. That brave little girl was Talek — small but mighty, and full of determination. Since her rescue, Talek has become confident, a little bit cheeky, and adored by everyone who knows her.

Shujaa and Weka have taken their playtime to the next level — going head to head in a very special session: mastering the skill of walking backwards! Whether it’s manoeuvring in tight forest paths or a waterhole, knowing how to reverse is key. Of course, lessons quickly turn into games.

We’re #1!!!

Dairy milk farm down the road from me just shut down after over 40 years of operation. Do you like milk? There are no workers to collect it now. Meat packing plants are struggling here. Workers are not showing up. Iowa feeds MANY people. Do you get it yet?

On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)

We rescued Chapeyu in February after he was speared, leaving him with wounds that could have proven fatal: He's been recovering at Voi ever since. On this day, Mbegu came to visit the herd and while he seemed (justifiably!) concerned that she might steal his stash of greens, he welcomed her company.

Guy who has golfed 33 days this year thinks Americans need to work more.

This is my hometown. Trump’s armed thugs are disappearing our neighbors off the streets without due process. Hey ICE, take your masks off and identify ourselves, you fucking cowards.

Donald Trump is the most brilliant military strategist in our nation's history, but it's completely unfair to force him into a decision about Iran when he's in the midst of rolling out his new cell phone service. Another two weeks is more than reasonable. by Marc Thiessen

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

Our three newest graduates are loving Ithumba life! Mageno, Muwingu, and Kitich only moved from the Nursery a week ago, but they’ve settled in beautifully. Older friends like Esoit (seen at the end) have been showing them the ropes. Full story and film of their graduation coming soon!

You can put them in the rank order of your preference, but they are all bad. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Maine state lawmakers passed bill to prohibit State and local police from detaining, or questioning immigrants. They are also banned from working with federal immigration authorities. Go Maine! States rights! #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory www.pressherald.com/2025/06/18/m...

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

On this basis the entire Israeli cabinet should be wiped out! Israel-Iran conflict live: Israeli minister says Khamenei ‘can no longer be allowed to exist’ after hospital strike www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

I'd love to know whether Merrick Garland has any regrets re his tenure as Attorney General. I think a large number of us certainly do.

A vote for Cuomo is a vote for trump.

Former President Barack Obama issued a warning about the future of American democracy, while speaking at an event in Connecticut. Obama cautioned that the country is “dangerously close” to normalizing behavior “consistent with autocracies.”

There’s nothing quite like the sight of our Voi herd racing in for their midday milk feed. Milk is more than a meal; it’s their lifeline. Each bottle provides vital nutrients they need to grow strong and healthy, especially in the early years when they are most vulnerable: t.co/nStdhlgvM4

The entire world will shun the US. God damn every idiot that voted for this.

1. BREAKING via the Financial Times British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has put his cabinet on alert for a possible US attack on Iran, just 24 hours after insisting Donald Trump had given no indication he was about to “get involved in this conflict”.

This is a superb read, ably written by @bearlypolitics.co.uk , show it to all of your hard of thinking, reform voting friends / family, and let it sink in! eastangliabylines.co.uk/politics/sho...

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers
