Adidas selects an IDF soldier who was part of an operation that killed 232 Palestinian civilians to be its spokesperson for its new campaign on amputees — meanwhile Gaza has the highest rate of amputees of any place in modern history due to IDF soldiers and genocide. Barbaric. Stop buying Adidas.

This roll back on protected areas will be devastating for each of us. We’ve already lost so much.
Far out in the Pacific Ocean, there are tiny islands that few have seen. The oceans around them are full of marine life, from thriving coral reefs to sharks and tuna. The Trump administration is rolling back protections for these places. NPR got a rare visit to a remote area to see what’s at stake.
These are some of the last pristine ocean ecosystems. Now, they're losing protections
The largest conservation areas in the U.S. are in the Pacific Ocean, where tiny islands are epicenters of biodiversity. The Trump administration is now opening their waters to commercial fishing, sparking a battle over some of the country’s most pristine ecosystems.
