Repression cannot go unanswered.

EU Foreign Ministers just took the decisive step of designating Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organisation.

Any regime that kills thousands of its own people is working toward its own demise.

In a blistering ruling, a Bush-appointed conservative federal judge said that ICE "has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence."

Congress must not give one more cent to this rogue agency.

Look closely – a wire snare had wrapped around her ear so tightly it rotted completely. She simply walked into the wrong patch of bush on the wrong day. But help was at hand. Our Mara Vet Unit treated her – and we've seen elephants overcome similar injuries before.

If one extended family was killed in Britain, it'd be the crime of our century.

Our population is 69 million.

In Gaza, Israel exterminated more than 2,700 extended families.

Their pre-genocide population was 2.2 million.

Don't forget Gaza 👇
A new study on the Gaza genocide should shock you:

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.

Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility.

He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week.

The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral.

ICE reportedly denied the request.

Unimaginable cruelty.
