With a heat wave shattering temperature records across the country, let me just say that history will not look fondly on those who put fossil fuel profits above saving the planet.
These images should put any decent human being still supporting Israel into shame, but sadly, those people have no shame, no #humanity or #empathy.. neither does anyone world leaders who are letting these #atrocities to go on.
Former President Donald Trump said Monday that if reelected, he plans to work “side by side” with a newly formed religious organization that says abortion is the “greatest atrocity facing” the United States and should be “eradicated entirely.”...
A heartbreaking moment that was saved by an SS photographer at Auschwitz II-Birkenau during the deportations of Hungarian Jews. It was taken 80 years ago, most likely in late May 1944. A little child finds a dandelion in the grass and is handing it or showing it to an older boy.

The bald eagle could have easily gone extinct. But we did all sorts of "woke" things protecting it legally, ran conservation and study programs, banned DDT (that was good for other reasons too) and in 2007 they were removed from the endangered species list.
Likewise pine forests could be dead from acid rain.
The ozone could have a huge hole.
We CAN take care of nature when we want to. And the successes have been worth it.
@futurebird Too bad we won't take equivalent action to save #Humanity. We are facing #Extinction and are not intelligent enough to see the writing on the wall....
Major bad #ClimateCrisis news just published in today's #Guardian - "Exclusive: Planet is headed for at least 2.5C of heating with disastrous results for #humanity poll of hundreds of scientists finds - World’s top #climate scientists expect #GlobalHeating to blast past 1.5C target.
Hundreds of the world’s leading climate scientists expect global temperatures to rise to at least 2.5C (4.5F) this century, blasting past internationally agreed targets and causing catastrophic consequences for humanity and the #planet, an exclusive Guardian survey has revealed.
Almost 80% of the respondents, all from the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( #IPCC), foresee at least 2.5C of global heating above preindustrial levels, while almost half anticipate at least 3C (5.4F). Only 6% thought the internationally agreed 1.5C (2.7F) limit will be met."
Numerous experts said they had been left feeling hopeless, infuriated and scared by the failure of governments to act despite the clear scientific evidence provided.
“I think we are headed for major societal disruption within the next five years,” said Gretta Pecl, at the University of Tasmania. “[Authorities] will be overwhelmed by extreme event after extreme event, food production will be disrupted. I could not feel greater despair over the future.”
“Why isn’t he in jail yet? He’s completely ungovernable!”
“Gotta follow due process”
“…”
“Otherwise, their appeals will work immediately.”
“Soooooooo?”
“So we follow the process. Have the talks. Have them pay the fees. By the time they get to be put in jail, no one can fault us for not doing it right.”
A recent paper surveyed 59,000 people across 63 #countries and found that 86% said they believed in #climate#change – that action was needed, #humans caused it, it was a #serious#threat to #humanity, and/or a #global#emergency. Even in the country with the lowest agreement, 73% still agreed it was a serious threat.
Because for many of us from the moment we could comprehend religion our #propaganda machine taught us at every step of the way that #Muslims would slit our throats and watch us bleed out… tbh… we were mentally conditioned/brainwashed to believe Muslims want us all dead… Turns out #Zionists admit and preach it is what they want so looks like we have a lot of work on our plates if the world wants to maintain #humanity … #ceasefirenow#permanentceasefire
Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro.
You grow up in a home for people that some consider sub-human, but your proscribed life is not that different, filled as it is with love, pettiness and acceptance, and an aching hope that there is a secret meaning to it all, if you could just figure it out.

Human trafficking is always part of a #terrorist negotiation. The price per human life on display.
During this stage, Hamas would release all civilian women, children, elderly and sick hostages, in exchange for Palestinian women, minors, elderly and infirm prisoners, at a rate of 30 inmates for every hostage. @palestine @israel
Hamas would then release female soldiers at a price per soldier of 50 Palestinians — 30 serving life sentences and 20 others chosen by Hamas.
The Dawn of a Mindful Universe A Manifesto for Humanity's Future by Marcelo Gleiser, 2023
An award-winning astronomer and physicist's spellbinding and urgent call for a new Enlightenment and the recognition of the preciousness of life using reason and curiosity—the foundations of science—to study, nurture, and ultimately preserve humanity as we face the existential crisis of climate change.
#Humanity is still backward
still oppose each other for ... inventions, lies
power, religion, politics... 'I am better than you'
hasn't yet grasped the basic harsh reality
that we ALL are on the same boat
(planet)
in the future the world will probably divide into 2 anthill
it is simply a -geographical- consequence
east and west
who will compete for natural resources
"And yet the mere existence of this genocide on the heels of last century’s most famous Holocaust shows us that even time cannot mete out this blandly equalizing consolation if we don’t learn the correct lessons from history."
What heartens me so much about the #Wonka experience disaster is how hard the actors hired tried and what a wonderful job they did interacting with the kids, and especially that the internet quickly passed the urge to mock them and appreciated their humanity. Small hope regained.
