“Zionism is racism” is not a policy but a slogan. It compresses a complex history, going back millennia, and a very wide set of beliefs into one narrow meaning. The answer to genocide is not discrimination. We don't fight racism with racism. I’m gutted to see this motion adopted by the Green Party.

A photographer in Australia captured a poignant moment: a male koala embracing and squeezing his deceased companion. This heartbreaking scene demonstrates that animals experience and suffer emotions in a way similar to humans. 🐨💔

Its unlikely Simon Clarke has bad memories of the 1970s as he was born in 1984.
This helps to explain why he forgets a recession made worse by Thatcher driving interest rates up with her uneccessary monetarist policy.
The only thing that saved the tories was the Falklands war & North Sea oil.

Ospreys are disappearing along the US East Coast due to a shortage of Atlantic menhaden, a crucial food source for ospreys. One company alone harvested nearly 300 million pounds of the fish in 2024 but somehow claims they’re not at fault. 🧐
Ospreys are disappearing along the East Coast. Scientists think they know why.
At the center of a widening crisis for one of the nation's great wildlife comebacks is a fish most Americans would hardly recognize.
