No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

Trump's D.C. Chainsaw Massacre: Over 500 Historic Trees Gutted to Build a Millionaire's Golf Course
Donald Trump has begun actively destroying hundreds of trees in Washington, D.C., and the lack of mainstream coverage is absolutely criminal.
Please scream this from the rooftops and spread the word immediately! These aren't dead, dying, or invasive trees — these are perfectly healthy, decades-old oak and maple trees that are being brutally clear-cut. This disturbing footage from Rick Maese at The Washington Post exposes the truth: the Trump administration is massacring upwards of 500 healthy, historic trees at the East Potomac Golf Course.
But honestly, why are we surprised? This is just the latest chapter in Trump's complete and utter disregard for our nation's historic capital. It follows the exact same playbook as his shocking demolition of the White House East Wing, and the disastrous, botched "renovations" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool that left an iconic American landmark falling apart and peeling. To make matters even more sickening, they've even been dumping toxic debris from the demolished East Wing right onto this very public parkland!
The National Park Service is trying to gaslight the public by claiming this ecological disaster is just routine maintenance, but we know the truth: they are gutting public land to build a glitzy, exclusive championship golf course. Residents across the city are rightfully furious and disgusted. Witnessing 500+ majestic trees being ripped out of the ground is an absolute horror show for the people living in this city.
Do not let them slide on this. Share this everywhere, expose this environmental atrocity, and follow for updates.

As we reveal in @forbes, the CEO of the world's most-visited theme park routinely rejects major brands and this is what gives it a magic touch: "We don't want to have them inside Global Village because then the experience would not be authentic"

It is sickening that the USA is now lifting sanctions on Russian fuel, and transparently ridiculous to blame Ukraine for the spike in prices that obviously began with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Putin is murdering innocent Ukrainian civilians every day. The Ukrainians are fighting for their lives. And yet the White House is apparently determined to force American drivers to bankroll Putin’s slaughter. It won’t work and I doubt it will make much difference to the price of fuel.
If we want Russian oil and gas back on the world market then let’s end this war - with a free, sovereign and independent Ukraine.

Our latest feature for @Blooloop reveals that if it wasn't for the funding from the UK government, Universal's UK park would not have gone ahead and the theme park market in the country would have remained "static". Find out why here 👇

What allowing Russia to sell oil products means was heard most clearly in Kyiv just now, when, after repeated attacks on energy facilities with jet-powered “shaheds,” Russia launched a ballistic missile attack as well. Some of the missiles were intercepted. This once again clearly demonstrates Russia’s true intentions. They count on prolonging the war, terrorizing ordinary people, and destroying infrastructure.
Every additional billion dollars they can earn from exports will be spent on nothing but sourcing and importing critical components and equipment to manufacture weapons, upgrading “shaheds,” producing missiles, and recruiting even more mercenaries to fight at the front. Russia’s choice is war. And they will be ready to end it only when they feel that their ability to drag the war out is diminishing.
Unfortunately, the signals Russia received yesterday were entirely different – signals suggesting that it could simply keep attacking. And this needs to be corrected. Strong signals are needed from the United States, Europe, and other partners – signals in support of Ukraine and to RESTRICT Russia’s ability to wage war and terrorize people. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!

Trump in his rally speech tonight: "China makes the windmills, but try finding a wind farm in China. There is no such."
Here's a map of wind farms in China, which has by far the most wind capacity in the world and continues to install far more than any other country:

There’s literally nothing which hasn’t been made so much worse by #Brexit
🔥 Brexit red tape threatening work to protect endangered species.
🦒 Importing animals from EU countries has become 'hugely complicated and time consuming' as zookeepers are blocked from importing them as breeding partners.
🦛 According to the British and Irish Association of Zoos, there were around 1,400 animal transfers between zoos in the UK and the EU before Brexit. Last year there were around 271 animal transfers.

"Je m’appelle Jean et je suis écogarde dans le Parc National des Virunga depuis 1996.
Ce qui m’a motivé à devenir écogarde, c’est de suivre les traces de mon père, qui lui aussi était écogarde. J’ai également été motivé par le fait que le Parc est une institution précieuse qui protège, entre autres, les forêts, les gorilles de montagne et d’autres espèces. Cette protection est rendue possible grâce à la collaboration franche et à la discipline qui existent entre les écogardes.
J’espère que le Parc perdurera encore pendant des siècles, afin que les futures générations puissent également en profiter."

There’s a new face in the Himalayan Highlands! A female snow leopard cub was born this summer to mother Dariga and father Moutig. The female cub is doing well and has now reached the age she can venture with her mother into the Himalayan Highlands exhibit. (1/6)

Some good news in the world.
The number of independent bookshops in Britain and Ireland is at a 14-year high. This follows a mini-resurgence in book buying, which, some research suggests, is being driven by young people.
In these days of digital overload, this is a hugely encouraging development. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c95y…

The UK’s spy chiefs examined the impacts of the collapse of overseas ecosystems, under pressure of climate crisis and biodiversity loss, on UK’s national security.
Their findings?
“Apocalyptic.”
UK defence and society at risk, impacts within 5 years.
