A look at how environmental crimes are prosecuted in the Dominican Republic

The functions of three institutions, linked by the common denominator of environmental protection, complement one another in the pursuit of environmental crimes which, though frequent, are also more frequently reported.

Second day of boycotting YouTube is going well 😊 turns out there's lots of other things I can do instead!

It's kind of like how my life was before YouTube existed. I just did other things. :youtube: :googletrash:

Google is in the middle of a six-month, $45 million contract to amplify propaganda with Netanyahu’s office. The contract describes Google as a “key entity” supporting the prime minister’s messaging.

Time to Boycott YouTube
Shame on the collaborators.
I used the Send Feedback form to send feedback to Google on how disgusted I was with them and why I will be boycotting their platform.

YouTube Quietly Erased More Than 700 Videos Documenting Israeli Human Rights Violations

The tech giant deleted the accounts of three prominent Palestinian human rights groups — a capitulation to Trump sanctions.

Just 2 days left to vote for #Gaza's Saeed AlErr!!

worldwide-vets.org/goldenstara…

Superb org that has rescued and treated pets, livestock and wild animals, but has fed and provided necessities for the people of Gaza.

While other animal advocates have stayed silent, Saeed and his family and volunteers have worked at great peril to themselves. Their main vet #DrMuath was murdered by Israel at the beginning of the "ceasefire".

Thank you.

This silvery gibbon was seized from the checked baggage of a passenger travelling from Malaysia via Thailand, at Mumbai International Airport, India. The gibbons are endemic to Java and are endangered, with less than 2,500 remaining in the wild. One of the ones recovered from the baggage was dead, while the other, in a video shared by Indian Customs, was seen cradled in the arms of an officer, softly hooting before covering its face with its arm.

Four Years Later: Reflections On Becoming A Corporate Political Prisoner In the United States

My salary is "frozen" again & I can't get research funding. We laid off most of our staff. My brother lost his government job. My disabled mom's health insurance is about to go up 10x. My neighbors' houses are all for sale.

The middle class is deep underwater and this billionaire MF keeps looting.

Good morning. Starlink has now launched more than TEN THOUSAND satellites into orbit. Nearly 1400 have already been burned up in the atmosphere so far.

Here's a "lovely" image from my Kuiper Belt discovery program with dozens of satellite streaks in a 3 hour stacked exposure from CFHT. This was from 2022, when there were thousands fewer satellites... This is dumb.

(The small streaks that are similar lengths are actually asteroids!)

A starfield image from a professional telescope, divided up into many rectangles. There are lots of bright diagonal lines across the starfield, those are from satellites that flew through while the image was being taken.
