Jeff Bezos and his wife are the lead sponsors of tonight's Met Gala. Now seems like a good time to remind folks of all the ways Bezos is shafting American consumers and Amazon workers — and how his wealth is putting our democracy at risk. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos

Really great @mammalsociety.bsky.social conference in Inverness last week. Thank you to everyone who made this a success.

Steller sea lions are the largest member of the family Otariidae, the “eared seals.” They're also one of the species threatened by the Trump's latest push to open more than 100 million acres off the coast of #Alaska to highly destructive seabed mining. Take action 👉 bit.ly/3OQcITX

And suddenly it is done! #PhDJourney

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

😢

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

And this a few days after the UK Government published a National Security Assessment by MI6 which comes to the conclusion that global biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse are a threat to national security. It's a sobering read. Please share! assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/696e0e...

How does #BiodiversityLoss and #Ecosystem collapse impact National Security? Read the UK Government's assessment which has just been published to get the answer. #Nature #Wildlife #ConservationMatters assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/696e0e...

Aw, don’t be mean. Just let him have it.

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland. There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same. And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment. 1/

This! 👇

“The President of the United States is a criminal. He’s not just a convicted criminal. He should have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th. He is running the government like a mob operation.“

🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

Despicable!

A Message for ICE:

San Francisco’s Ocean Beach!

Jessica Tarlov leaves Fox speechless after debunking Trump regime lies about the killing of Renee Good. She brought receipts.

There is no 'But'! None! 😡

I have been following the disturbing American news from the UK in disbelief daily. This powerful song by thousands in Philadelphia is just stunning and gives me hope. A wonderful way to show unity and peacefully resist in the face of oppression. #Silenceiscomplicity

She was spot on!

If we allow the state to strip people of their citizenship, we will end up in a very dark place. Discussing this on BBC Sunday Morning Live, BBC 1 at 10.30am

#Cheetahs are the fastest land mammals. To give the cheetahs at Five Sisters Zoo the chance to show off this natural behaviour, I am pledging my first 5k in the Scottish winter for this enrichment fundraiser. 🥶 Grateful for any support!🙏 @parkrunuk.bsky.social fivesisterszoo.co.uk/product-cate...

Trump has told the UK that we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US! That is chickens kept in such horrific conditions that they have to be washed in chlorine to be safe to eat. I am so doing #veganuary. 🤢🐔 Please sign and share. 38d.gs/cc-wa

How to kick yourself in the balls... 😂

Those observing Christmas are celebrating a family of asylum seekers. If there is indeed a "War on Christmas," it's being waged by those trying to make our country less safe for the poor, for the marginalized, and for refugees.

#HappyHolidays Wishing you all fun and happiness! 🎄✨ Thanks to former keeper Zoë and #cheetah Oscar at Bristol Zoo Project for this great photo. 🐆🐾 #MerryChristmas #HappyYule #HappyMidwinter

Caring is an act of resistance in a system that thrives on indifference.
