Relentless "improvement" of the countryside leaves no space for nature.

But ever more people are now helping the wild return, through *rewilding*.

No matter who you are or where you live, you too have a part to play in the fight.

There is no better New Year's resolution.

as both an alum of the Village Voice and a former advisor to Greedhead Records (the label Das Racist used to be on), is that the reason Zohran volunteered for Ali is because he read an interview with Heems in the Voice that plugged Ali’s campaign. Zohran’s rap fandom indirectly led to this moment.

Okay, one more fun bit: when Zohran was handed the leather ledger that he needed to sign to make his swearing-in official, it was handed to him by Ali Najmi. Ali’s 2015 city council campaign was Zohran’s formal introduction to city politics, when he began by knocking doors for Ali. The part I love…

Insanity beyond all measure. This would destroy billions of dollars of research and decades of research people spent their entire careers on.

Whither are they going to deport the Hawaiians to achieve their dream of turning pipeline into an empty parking lot?
This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

In all seriousness it is something special to know that the mayor of the largest city in the country is a Muslim Indian who is the son of one of the most esteemed de-colonial scholars on the planet, and who is steadfast with Palestine; and who is visibly proud of his identity and his politics.

Add up all the African-Americans and other non-whites, though.

That’s what these gutter trash bigots mean.

There aren’t anywhere remotely close to 100 million aliens in the US, undocumented or naturalized.
DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

It's hilarious to me how they made a big point about how Ryan Day himself is calling plays and then OSU comes out and shits all the way down their legs for the entire game so far.

My takeaway from the trump Zelensky meeting is that Ukraine agreed to the 90% of the peace plan that wasn’t demanding them to hand over land to Russia. Ukraine doesn’t need to cede any territory to Russia. Putin needs to get out of Ukraine. 💙🇺🇦💙

ISW: Iranian security forces shot live fire to disperse protesters in at least 2 instances on Dec 31, as protests continued across Iran for the 4th day. Iranian regime is taking steps to prevent further protests at universities and likely views uni students as a serious threat to regime stability.
