In his own words: the President is responsible for the shutdown.

A white graphic with a blue border includes the following text: My Statement on Middle East Peace October 9, 2025 After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families; and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza whose lives have been shattered. More than that, though, it now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of the U.S. and the entire world community, to begin the hard task of rebuilding Gaza – and to commit to a process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace.

The Story of the American Cranberrybush - Eat The Planet The American Cranberrybush (Viburnum trilobum) is a deciduous shrub that produces small edible, ruby red berries in the fall. Whilst the fruits greatly resemble cranberries, they are in fact of a comp...

It is listed as endangered, threatened or rare in the northeast. Mainly due to loss of habitat, from disappearing wetlands due to road or building construction. This in turn causes a fragmented population, making it harder for cross pollination between individuals.

Lyndon B. Johnson's response to satire

Lyndon B. Johnson's response to satire

For years, we’ve been sharing photos of some of the Asian elephants sporting fashionable accessories in the form of hay hats. Maia, and Guillermina are known to toss hay all over themselves (as did Lady back in her day) and wear their hay often and proudly.

For about 40 years at Ecoparque Mendoza, Kenya could only reach for trees outside her enclosure. 🌳 Now, at sanctuary, she’s surrounded by them—free to forage, snack, and enjoy as she pleases. A life once out of reach is finally hers.

Unfortunately, it’s common for elephants in captivity

National Parks Ordered to Remove Native American and Slave History Trump's obsession with rewriting narratives, coupled with his own tangled history, suggests a troubling shift toward fascist tendencies.

America was never supposed to be a nation built on amnesia. Our museums and parks exist to remind us of our trials—the good, the bad, and the ugly. It’s only regimes eager to control the narrative that silence inconvenient truths to make themselves look better.

Hard-Fought Treaty to Protect Ocean Life Clears a Final Hurdle

“If we continue to take from the ocean at the scale we presently are, and use the ocean as a dump site as we presently are, yes we’re putting the fish and the whales and the krill in Antarctica and the high seas at risk, but mostly, we are putting ourselves at risk.”

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?
