Beyond irresponsible. What part of enforcing a law passed 86-11 by the Senate does the President and his advisors not understand? It’s unconscionable that this administration is capitulating to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians every single day. If the President wants to actually bring down energy prices, he can do it by solving the Iran problem, not by doing a solid for Vladimir Putin.

Yesterday on fallow land I saw plants that once buzzed with bees & insects before 2000… now silent.
Pesticides didn’t just kill pests. They wiped out the pollinators that keep us alive.
No bees = no food security.
This is environmental terrorism by design. Hold the chemical corporations accountable.

The Alarming Decline of Flying Insects.
Did you know that there has been a 63% decline in flying insects in just 3 years? This is a catastrophic loss of biodiversity that threatens the very foundation of our ecosystem. Insects are a crucial part of our food chain and play a vital role in pollination, decomposition, and pest control. We MUST take action to reverse this trend and protect our planet's precious biodiversity. Share this post to raise awareness and let's work together to create a more sustainable future! #insectdecline #biodiversitymatters #sustainability

This tiny baby's hand wrapped in a blanket. I am completely broken and devastated.
I don't know what else the 'free world' needs to see. And I don't know how much of that 'freedom' is even left anymore.

GLOBAL FLOODING INTENSIFIES… ARE WE LIVING IN THE DAYS OF NOAH?
Something is happening with the amount of water moving through the atmosphere.
In just 30 days, major flooding has hit multiple continents while rainfall and river records that stood for decades, and even more than a century, have fallen.
Nebraska. Charleston. India. Nepal. Spain. Thailand. Japan. Australia. And the list keeps growing.
Now a potential Super El Niño is building across the Pacific, capable of shifting storm tracks and redirecting enormous amounts of moisture around the planet.
30 days. Multiple continents. Historic records falling.
And El Niño hasn’t peaked yet.
What are you seeing where you live?

We were warned. For decades, scientists told us where this was heading, but we chose delay, denial, and fossil-fuel profits instead.
Now, the consequences are here. There is no reset button. We are officially out of time.

😺 Six cats have been evacuated from Russian-occupied Oleshky by drone.
Soldiers from the Perun unit had delivered special pet carriers to the area in advance, then used heavy-lift drones to bring the animals across the Dnipro River.
The cats are now safe and receiving veterinary care. ❤️
Military personnel from Ukraine’s 11th National Guard Brigade and 34th Regiment also delivered nearly four tons of humanitarian aid to occupied Oleshky using drones.
The delivery included around 400 packages of food, medicine, and essential items for children.

The refinery strikes were never about gas prices.
That was cover.
Now we know why Trump keeps demanding Ukraine stop hitting Russian energy infrastructure. A multibillion-dollar Lukoil deal is on the table.
Witkoff and Kushner are tied to the middlemen.
The scheme is simple. A Trump proxy buys sanctioned Russian oil assets.
Sanctions get lifted on those specific assets. Putin sells more oil through them.
The family collects hundreds of millions a year.
Ukraine's strikes on refineries threaten the payout.
So the White House protects the loot. It pressures Kyiv to stop hitting the one target that actually works.

It's such a strange time to be alive. Understanding is incredibly limited. Apocalypse means revelation.
Plastics = human extinction
Pesticides = human extinction
Forever chemicals = human extinction
Climate change / sea level rise = human extinction
Ecological collapse = human extinction
The effects of all extinction events combined will be staggering.
Nearly 93% of known plastic chemicals used to wrap food and make clothes, toys, and other common household and personal care products pose a high risk to human health, according to a new investigation provided exclusively to CNN. cnn.it/3Twazj2
