Israel responsible for two-thirds of record 129 press killings in 2025, says CPJ Committee to Protect Journalists report says Israel also to blame for 81% of ‘intentionally targeted’ journalist killings * The deadly toll on journalists in the Gaza war A record 129 journalists and media workers were killed in the course of their work in 2025, two-thirds of them by Israeli forces, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). It was the second consecutive year in which killings of members of the press reached unprecedented levels, and the second year running in which Israel was responsible for roughly two-thirds of the total, the New York-based independent organisation, which documents attacks on journalists worldwide, said in its annual report published on Wednesday.

Reading about kids being strip searched without parent/guardian present. Zones for teen girls where access is denied. No real oversight or mandate for humane conditions. Every aspect of these concentration camps is sick. Detainees have human rights!

If you think that the people running the EPA, DoI, and DoE are actually trying to destroy the environment and your health, you would not be wrong. Many of America’s top "regulators" are former chemical industry and fossil fuel executives with deep ties to heavily polluting industries.

A photo of several nautilus cephalopods arranged in a circle around a mystery object. They are probably having a dinner party, but the way they're positioned makes it look like an arcane ritual is being conducted on the sea floor.

I truly don't understand why more people aren't upset about this

This platform needs way more freaking out about Alysa Liu. Oakland chill yet extreme excellence is the antidote to everything that’s so broken right now.

My question to DHS: if you don’t care about the human beings in custody at Camp East Montana, will you at least care about the massive fraud?

If Democratic politicians don’t accomplish anything, what is all this shit being UNdone by Trump??

Induced Demand by Kalliopi Monoyios. An art infographic consisting of 8 large circular quilts made from single use plastic. Each quilt is sized according to how may million metric tons of plastic were produced globally in a given year. Each quilt has a colorful center with a thick white border — the color represents approximately 35-40% that was destined for packaging, shorthand for single-use.

currently working on expanding this art infographic showing 75+ years of global plastic production - Each quilt represents the amt of virgin #plastic we produced worldwide in a given year. 8 data points take up 18ft of wall—when I show it in 2027 in Tulsa it will be MUCH bigger!! #sciart 🐡🌎

Tell Your Senators: Protect our Democracy, Vote NO on the SAVE Act Contact Congress today!

Susan Collins has apparently decided to give Republicans the votes needed to pass the SAVE Act. This is a three-alarm emergency. We must act swiftly.

Tell every Senator right now we absolutely cannot let this pass:

EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

We should rename the United States. Divided States of America. At least until we get a real President.

Why Was Bad Bunny Singing on Top of a Broken Utility Pole at the Super Bowl? Bad Bunny’s 13-minute performance at the big game was an ode to Puerto Rico — and its energy woes.

When Bad Bunny scaled a utility pole during his Super Bowl show, it was more than a stunt. His performance highlighted Puerto Rico's frequent power cuts, which have been exacerbated by energy privatization. We're fighting for an equitable and just clean energy system for all Puerto Ricans.

Fascism is not an opinion, but a practice of oppression. It is not fought with neutrality, nor with hollow institutions that shelter it behind democratic display cases. Whether as “underground” Nazi groups or as parliamentary authoritarianism in a suit, fascism feeds on passivity and fear.

@ethanscorey.bsky.social and I have published a database of congressmembers who received donations from ICE profiteers GEO Group, CoreCivic, and Management and Training Corporation. Look up your reps at @inthesetimes.com + @theappeal.org. inthesetimes.com/article/ice-....

I have so many things I need to do, but all I really want to do is stay in bed. A memoir.

#PrivatePrison operators CoreCivic & GEO Group want to keep the contract $. Thus they don't spend it on decent food, clean water, heat, hygiene supplies & medication. Unconscionable. Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman, hello?

Image of Ocean Beach in San Francisco with text: "Tell State Officials: Stop Selling the Bay’s Sand for Concrete. One of the biggest threats to California’s coast and shorelines happens out of sight along the Bay’s floor, where private companies have been mining sand for over a century. The companies then sell the sand for profit—mostly to be turned into concrete and asphalt. Continued unsustainable sand mining will harm native wildlife and lead to greater vulnerability to sea level rise."

One of the biggest threats to California's coast & shorelines happens out of sight along the Bay's floor, where private companies mine sand for profit -- harming wildlife & eroding our beaches.

A president who combines hostility with intellectual emptiness isn’t just controversial...he’s structurally dangerous. It’s hard to tell which is more alarming: the policies or the lack of comprehension behind them.

Sharks deserve both our awe and protection. They play an important role in ocean ecosystems, helping to maintain the food web and support habitats like coral reefs and kelp forests.

But in many countries, #sharks are still caught and cruelly carved up for their fins.

Daily quotas and huge bonuses are a helluva incentive for these thugs. The massive Congressional funding of ICE must end.
