An opinion piece published yesterday in the #BillingsGazette explores #CodyRoberts ' #torture of a young female #wolf in Daniel, #Wyoming. By now, most of you have heard the news or seen the disturbing photos and videos. We remain disgusted by the #cruelty, as does our partner and op-ed author #JeffEwelt.
In his op-ed, Jeff Ewelt, the Executive Director of #ZooMontana and a partner of The #RelistWolves Campaign,
where she was paraded around like a prize despite her grave #injuries. Finally, the hunter took her out back and shot her.
This poor wolf was captured in what's called a "#PredatorZone," where there are basically no rules for how and when wolves can be killed. But #wolves in #Wyoming can't tell the difference between safe places for them -- places like #Yellowstone -- and places where they're subject 24/7 to #slaughter.
They deserve to spend time with their beloved pack members,
Hope this will be meaningful ... but not holding my breath.
Performative?
They supply the bombs which kill the babies & destroy all infrastructure, water, food, hospitals, schools, etc. then complain that there is no humanitarian aid being allowed in after their ordinance did the bombing and killing? ?
Just a way to make money at both ends? but hoping Palestinian children get to eat.
Today in Labor History March 1, 1921: Anarchist and leftwing communist soldiers and sailors rose up against the Russian Bolsheviks in the Kronstadt uprising. The rebellion, which lasted until March 16, was the last major revolt against the Bolsheviks. It began when they sent delegates to Petrograd in solidarity with strikes going on in that city, and demanded the restoration of civil rights for workers, economic and political freedom for workers and peasants, including free speech, and that soviet councils include anarchists and left socialists. The Bolshevik forces, directed by Trotsky, killed over 1,000 Kronstadt rebels in battle, and executed another 2,100 in the aftermath. As many as 1,400 government troops died in their attempt to quash the rebellion.
Today in Labor History March 1, 1871: The victorious Prussian Army paraded through Paris after the Siege of Paris. Three weeks later, on March 18, radical soldiers from the French National Guard seized control of the city and established the Paris Commune. The workers controlled the city for two months. They abolished child labor and gave workers the right to seize businesses abandoned by the owners. They also dismantled the police and established their own self-policing. The French army quashed the commune beginning on May 21 with the Bloody Week. During that time, they slaughtered up to 20,000 people and arrested over 43,000.
Today in Labor History February 28, 1947: The Kuomintang government in Taiwan put down an anti-government uprising known as the February 28 Incident. They killed 28,000 civilians. And in the White Terror that followed, the government killed, imprisoned or disappeared 30,000 more. These events helped spark the Taiwanese independence movement.
Don't trust the bar stewards. Show them up for what they are. I’m behind Yousaf and Flynn. If they vote with their consciences then good for Labour, if they do not (and it is symbolic) then they will be shown up for what they are - power hungry monsters.
The image however (Glasgow) is not one the Guardian seeks to explain or even report.
With all eyes on Gaza, Israeli authorities are fast-tracking the approval of new Jewish neighborhoods in the heart of East Jerusalem: 3000 residential units, perimeter fences, patrol routes, armored vehicles and security cameras with facial recognition.
#Gaza / Israeli forces rescued two hostages held captive by #Hamas
Most Israeli outlets call the operation in which Israeli forces rescued two hostages held by #Hamas in a building in #Rafah an “intelligence success”, or “heroic operation”. Non mention, in the same report, that two #IDF soldiers from the Maglan commando unit were killed (in Khan Yunis).
None discuss in the same report the fact that many more hostages are still in captivity, and that the risk for their lives, in the absence of negotiations, increased substantially as a result.
Some though do include, with a notable sense of accomplishment, that “dozens of Palestinians were killed”.
All in all 566 Israeli soldiers died since October, 229 since the operation-turned-massacre started.
@oatmeal@israel@palestine Israel reported that of the remaining 134 hostages, 31 confirmed dead, 20 probably dead, and an additional number died in earlier operations. This is not a success.
Different subject: at least 29 of the reported 556 IDF killed were killed by the IDF. Likely many more. #radicalzionism #genocide #slaughter #murder #dnc
@rburghol No one on the team objected to it. In fact even a bland statement by the coach to the effect that this was an individual comment and we do not believe the Irish are antisemitic would have likely sufficed.
Instead the coach, Drucker, doubled down. #radicalzionism #freepalestine #genocide #slaughter #murder
@iwein Saving a Palestinian child or a hostage child would be worth it.
Now believe that the Israelis would just as soon that the hostages all be killed too as they could tell embarrassing stories about IDF fecklessness. #genocide #slaughter #murder #radicalzionism #israel

South Africa appeals to the International Court of Justice: Stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza
South Africa’s 84 page long Application to the International Court of Justice to begin proceedings against Israel for its genocide in Gaza is a devastating document laying out Israel’s genocidal acts and statements in horrifying detail.
@TruthSandwich@mondoweiss@palestine You are right. And they dont care about the deaths of their 'people' but not surprised, a terrorist can wear a suicide bomb and enter a stadium, a school, an airport etc and destroy himself with his people and anyone present there #hate#violence#rape#murder#slaughter etc
In a statement, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said:
“The campaign of #genocide and #ethniccleansing in Gaza by Israel’s far-right government is clear to anyone who does not turn a blind eye to the countless images of and testimonies to the indiscriminate #slaughter of Palestinian civilians and the forced #displacement and #starvation of almost the entire population of #Gaza. We urge other nations to follow South Africa’s principled example.”
Human Rights Watch: Starvation Used as Weapon of War in Gaza
Yesterday, CAIR called on the #GenocideJoe administration to demand an end to violence by the #farright Israeli government and illegal Israeli #settlers in the West bank following attacks on #Christian#clergy and the release of a U.N. report outlining the “rapid deterioration” of Palestinian rights in the occupied #WestBank.

Today in Labor History December 15, 1941: Nazi troops murdered over 15,000 Jews at Drobytsky Yar, a ravine in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The temperature was −15 °C (5 °F). They threw children into pits alive, to save bullets, assuming that they would quickly freeze to death.

It is with a heavy heart that I write to you on the first red cove day of 2023, a day that witnessed the ruthless #hunting and #slaughter of ~10 innocent Risso's #dolphins in #Taiji. The dolphins fought hard to escape but after a 2 hour chase, the entire #pod was forced into the cove and brutally killed.
Our team is not just standing by. At the end of August we submitted an appeal
