Remember:

1. Seabirds are starving.
2. Frogs can't survive.
3. Sharks are being wiped out.
4. Orangutans face annihilation.
5. Butterflies are vanishing.
6. Whales are committing suicide.
7. Fish are disappearing
8. Bees are critically endangered.

THERE IS NO BIGGER NEWS STORY.
It's never too late to act on Ecological Collapse, Climate Breakdown & the 6th Mass Extinction (all caused by destructive capitalism). But how can we know we must act on this catastrophe when state-corporate media & education systems don't inform us?
See:👇
All species are now Critically Endangered as we head rapidly into a hostile climate. Humans, animals, trees, plants will struggle to survive.

⚠️2°C average global temp. rise by the 2030s?⚠️

Also: overfishing, pesticides, deforestation, poaching, hunting👇
We need political-economic system change to protect all humans & the ecosystems being destroyed in a just way:

'The poor, the marginalized, the indigenous communities are on the frontline—and they are overwhelmingly people of color in developing countries'newsweek.com/black-lives-ma…
Scientists are clear that profound transformation of the global economy is the only way we might limit the damage to ecosystems and the climate.

Threads on the scientific community questioning capitalism:




Seabirds are starving.

It's not just sea birds that are being driven into oblivion:


Plastic:


Frogs can't survive:


Sharks are being wiped out:

You do realise that they're wiping out all the frogs now, don't you?

1. Frog experiments have spread a deadly fungus.

2. Climate breakdown accelerating too fast for frogs to survive.

3. Frogs vanishing in 6th mass extinction.

It's simply a Global Extermination of amphibians.
A deadly fungus, Batrachocytrium dendrobatidis, 'has been known to decimate entire populations of frogs' . Humans bring it wherever they encounter frogs — 'either accidentally, or when we take them in as pets, use them as food or in laboratory experiments.'animals.howstuffworks.com/endangered-spe…
Catastrophic and ongoing destruction of amphibians around the world:

'Globalization has opened a Pandora’s box of invasive species and diseases, and climate change is adding further stress.'

Seven reasons birds are dying:

1. Starvation
2. Starvation
3. Starvation
4. Starvation
5. Starvation
6. Starvation
7. Starvation

[THREAD]
Tens of thousands of dead birds are washing up on the beaches of Alaska's Prince William Sound, an unexplained mass die-off that some experts say may be related to the changing climate.

The birds appear to have starved to death smh.com.au/environment/co…
Penguins starving to death is a sign that something’s very wrong in the Antarctic.

Overfishing, oil drilling, pollution and climate change are imperilling the ecosystem.

The killing of 6 billion birds per year:

5.5 billion: cats & buildings
52 million: EU legal hunting
40 million: US industry
36 million: EU & Med. poachers
2.6 million: harvesting tractors Spain
etc

And 95% of the world's seabirds will die having ingested plastic by 2050.
Domestic cats kill between 1.4 and 3.7 billion birds and between 6.9 and 20.7 billion mammals (mostly mice, shrews, rabbits, squirrels, and voles) each year.

businessinsider.fr/us/cats-kill-b…
'Scientists estimate an astounding upper-level figure of 1 billion birds that die in the U.S. each year from building collisions. Making matters worse, 40 percent of the world’s bird species are already in decline.' truthout.org/articles/build…

#SUICIDE
DOES IFA ENCOURAGES SUICIDE???

From the below write-up, I can CAPITALLY say 'NO' to the above question. Read what Ifa says about suicide 👇👇👇

Ifá ní;Tí o bá ní tì ẹ pọ̀ lápọ̀jù,
Tí ó bá gbọ́ tọmọ ẹlòmíràn wa dúpẹ́ dúpẹ́,
Thread
Adífá fún Àràǹdẹ̀dẹ̀ tí ń lọ sí mọ̀run Àìkú,
Ẹbọ làwo ní kó ṣé,
Ó sì gbẹ́bọ níbẹ̀ ó rúbọ,
Ǹjẹ́ Àràǹdẹ̀dẹ̀ mọ́mọ̀ so!
Àràǹdẹ̀dẹ̀ mọ́mọ̀ so!!
Iré kù níwájú ó, Ire kù lẹ́yìn,
Àràǹdẹ̀dẹ̀ mọ́mọ̀ so.

Ifá says:If you say your life situation is too much to bear,
If you hear about others' you will surely be grateful cast divination for Àràǹdẹ̀dẹ̀ who wanted to kill himself(simply because of his life situation).
He was asked to make Ẹbọ which he did.
He says "Àràǹdẹ̀dẹ̀, do not commit suicide!"

GOP ELITES, courted this base. These representatives of the ELITE, BILLIONAIRE, CORPORATE class,educated in the most ELITE colleges,the inheritors of family wealth, attendees of Choate,Phillips Exeter and Deerfield Schools, those who run the biggest companies,the highest tiers...
...of the GOP, the party of Big Business. They went after this base. And they went after them with the superiority, contempt and all the assumptions that come with tremendous privilige, that they could CONTROL this base.
The same assumption that the ruling aristocracy has always held about the working class, that they are stupid, uneducated and easily controlled.
They are NOT the friend of the working class, they never have been.
They use them, manipulate them

Shane is fangirling about meeting Rebekah and Kol, the Original vampires, and bragging about not being able to be compelled. Then Bex tells Kol to beat the location of the cure out of him. Lol. Imagine meeting your idols and they beat the shit out of you.
Back to this. "Truth or dare, Elena?"
"Dare." Damn that's brave.
"I dare you to tell Stefan the truth about Damon."
Sweetie, that's truth not dare, but I am here for this.
"Seriously?!" Caroline being there for Stefan again.
Bex is being really childish though
"Being with Damon makes me happy." HSHDFLK YES IT DOES.
"Makes you happy? Clowns make you happy Elena. Dig a little deeper."
Actually, clowns do quite the opposite of making me happy, but to each their own Rebekah. 🙈

Statistics on #FarmMurders and #FarmAttacks were released by the South African government for the first time since 2011, confirming an average of 510 attacks and 56 murders per year, that is more than one per week.
Farmers are being slaughtered in the most horrific, inhumane, sadistic, barbaric ways. They are tortured until they die, women raped for hours on end while their husband's are forced to watch, their heads are crushed and they are set alight.
#FarmMurders
>Tortured with electrical drills
>Finger nails pulled out
>Hands removed from bodies
>Drowned in boiling hot water
Torture which would have earned applause from Spanish Inquisition Torturers. ISIS style atrocities.

I'm going to tell you a story. It's going to seem sad--which it is--but it should also bring you a sense of existential relief.

thread:
We're in the Sixth Extinction. There's no doubt about this. No climate deniers, or evangelicals, or people who just don't want to listen can refute this basic reality.

There just aren't the facts to back it up.
We're dying. The planet is changing.
