Welp.

Trump is trying to sell the message, that the Iranian Ayatollah Khamenei who fires missiles into Israel every night, is a really bad guy, while at the same time, Putin who fires missiles into Ukraine every night, should be allowed back into the G7 and have his trade with the Democratic world […]

Feisty little Ashanti has never let anything hold her back — not even a shortened trunk. She’s full of life and full of opinions… especially when it comes to her favourite treat: range cubes! Add some to our wishlist and help Ashanti (and friends!) enjoy many more delicious moments: t.co/nStdhlgvM4

With Our taxes and children

Lemeki’s story began in a river. Just a week old, she was spotted bobbing in the flood-swollen Mara River, carried far from her family by the powerful current. Today, Lemeki has traded the chaos of floodwaters for playful dips in her own “swimming pool”. Become part of her journey: swt.bio/lemeki

Talek’s early days are a mystery, but what’s clear is her courage. She was spotted alone in the vast Maasai Mara at just seven months old. Now, Talek is a polite little elephant — most of the time — but don’t be fooled by her size. Talek has a strong willed and a bold spirit: swt.bio/talek

On 9th June, Mageno, Kitich, and Muwingu graduated from the Nairobi Nursery to our Ithumba Reintegration Unit, where they will continue their journey back to the wild. Enjoy our film documenting their journey and the warm greetings they received from old friends, and new, in Tsavo: t.co/7TDgCYB5MO

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Just wait until you see the letter @schumer.senate.gov is gonna write.

Well...

BREAKING: The US says it is optimistic that the Iran war will be as quick and easy as the 20-year war with Afghanistan when we replaced the Taliban with the Taliban ♥️

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.
