So incredibly sad 😢
The Ukrainian town of Maryinka was located in the Donetsk region. Before the arrival of russian troops, it was a cozy, green, and peaceful town with a population of about 10,000 people. General education and music schools, kindergartens, community centers, and local businesses operated here. Having been a frontline zone since 2014 as a result of the war in Donbas, the town lived under the constant threat of shelling for a long time, yet it preserved life and infrastructure. Maryinka suffered absolute, total destruction, turning into a "ghost town" that has been virtually wiped off the face of the earth. The destruction of the town was the result of nearly two years of continuous, brutal artillery shelling, airstrikes, and positional assaults during the full-scale invasion. The battles for Maryinka were among the longest and most exhausting of the war. Not a single intact building remains in the town: the entire housing stock-private homesteads and apartment buildings, as well as critical infrastructure, roads, schools, and administrative facilities have been completely destroyed. The civilian population was fully evacuated by the end of 2022. In late December 2023, Ukrainian troops withdrew from the ruins of the town after it was completely obliterated by russian assaults. Currently, Maryinka is under russian occupation, presenting a landscape of solid ruins. This is what it means to neighbor russia...

I don’t think I have ever felt this desperate before 💔 Please, PLEASE SHARE this horse. I know so many of you have only just helped us buy Khari’s motor cart. I cannot ask you to give again. But I am begging you to help us carry this story onto new timelines — because somewhere, someone may be able to help us bring him home. He is completely blind. And while I am writing this, he is still working. Look at his body. The rub marks. The scars. The old wounds and the new ones. His owner himself says that because he cannot see, he gets injured again and again. He came to us only for treatment. We desperately wanted to keep him, but his owner supports a large family through his labour and cannot surrender him without an alternative livelihood. So every day it takes us to arrange a motor cart is another day this blind horse remains at work. Through TAWF’s Second Chance for Working Donkeys, we want to exchange his animal-drawn cart for a motor cart, bring him permanently to our sanctuary, and give him what he may never have known — safety, rest, kindness and dignity for the rest of his life. Please share him far and wide. Help us reach the person who can make his freedom possible. ❤️ 🌐 tawf.org.uk/donate Please use “Motor Cart” as the donation reference.

🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 ‼️OLESZKI POTRZEBUJĄ POMOCY‼️ Proszę, przeczytajcie i udostępnijcie. W okupowanych przez Rosję Oleszkach na południu Ukrainy może pozostawać ponad 6 000 cywilów, w tym około 200 dzieci. Ostatnie dostawy żywności dotarły tam pod koniec maja. Według Wszechukraińskiej Rady Kościołów mieszkańcy głodują, brakuje wody pitnej, leków i podstawowej pomocy. Nie ma prądu ani gazu. Ale najbardziej przerażające jest to, że ludzie nie mogą po prostu wyjechać. Ukraiński Rzecznik Praw Człowieka Dmytro Łubinec informuje, że przygotowano mechanizm ewakuacji. Ustalono listę osób. Ukraina przygotowała możliwość wprowadzenia reżimu ciszy. Międzynarodowy Komitet Czerwonego Krzyża zadeklarował gotowość udziału w ewakuacji. Zweryfikowano już 358 osób pilnie potrzebujących bezpiecznego wyjazdu. Rosja po przeprowadzonych rozmowach nie potwierdza gotowości do przeprowadzenia misji humanitarnej. Ludzie zaczynają więc wydostawać się na własną rękę przez zaminowane pola. Ryzykują śmiercią od min albo ataków dronów, ponieważ pozostanie w Oleszkach uważają za jeszcze bardziej niebezpieczne. Sytuacja stała się na tyle dramatyczna, że 19 września Wszechukraińska Rada Kościołów i Organizacji Religijnych zaapelowała bezpośrednio do papieża Leona XIV oraz innych światowych przywódców religijnych o wykorzystanie wszystkich możliwości, aby uratować mieszkańców Oleszek przed śmiercią głodową. Do państw ONZ i Międzynarodowego Komitetu Czerwonego Krzyża skierowano apel o podjęcie działań potrzebnych do przeprowadzenia misji humanitarnej i ewakuacji mieszkańców na terytorium kontrolowane przez Ukrainę. 6 000 ludzi. Około 200 dzieci. 358 osób już zweryfikowanych jako pilnie potrzebujące ewakuacji. Ostatnie dostawy żywności — pod koniec maja. To dzieje się teraz, we wrześniu 2026 roku. Nie możemy sami otworzyć korytarza humanitarnego. Ale możemy zrobić jedną rzecz: nie pozwolić, żeby Oleszki umierały w ciszy. Nagłaśniajmy. Piszmy o tym. Oznaczajmy media, polityków i organizacje międzynarodowe. Proszę Was o masowe udostępnianie tego posta.

This elderly woman you see is a resident of Zaporizhzhia. She didn't come down on her own, and she didn't leave the house to buy bread at the store... She was carried out by rescuers in the middle of the night because her apartment building became the target of a russian drone. And an elderly man, wearing only his underwear, evacuated his apartment straight through the window with the help of firefighters. But that was at night; morning reveals a completely different picture. 16 apartments burned down. Just imagine how many people - in just one single night, in just one single building! - lost their homes and belongings. The familiar phrase "everything is in your hands" has lost its meaning here in Ukraine. Here, life is in the hands of war.

The Bureau of Land Management says a wildfire burned two thirds of their food. A drought dried up their water. So the agency planned to remove EVERY wild horse from Riddle Mountain, Oregon. All 418 of them. They called it a rescue. The horses would be held off the range for about two years. BLM says the burned range needs a break from grazing. The horses live on this land by federal law, but the cows graze on it by permit only. The environmental and wild horse groups that sued say cattle were still out there when a judge asked. And only one of them was being told to leave. Is this also DEI for cows? Across the land it manages, the agency authorizes enough forage for 631,412 cows and their calves, compared to ALL of America's wild horses and burros: 26,785 (BLM 2022 data, via Return to Freedom). I can't get past that number. I keep thinking about these horses, waiting on a courtroom with winter coming. And about the 14,830 wild horses and burros BLM has targeted for removal this year. BLM's own target for that range is just 33 to 56 horses. That plan would return just enough to reach the low end: 33. And Western Watersheds Project's director says 33 horses is too few to keep a herd genetically healthy. Why the emergency? The groups say they had been in court for two years, and BLM had agreed to hold off on a roundup. Then it announced an "emergency" the Thursday before Labor Day weekend. Is this not a little suspicious from an agency we've already come to not trust? The groups say BLM had already hired contractors to round up the horses, including a $436,500 helicopter contract. They say the judge saw through the last-minute emergency, worried it looked like gamesmanship, and said no way. So a judge blocked the roundup a day before it began. That's a temporary restraining order, a short-term pause that does not decide who is right. Another hearing is coming, and the horses stay on the range for now. The agency warns fall storms could close the roads before it can reach the horses. If there isn't enough food for the horses, why is there enough for the cows? Trump's budget request for 2027 left out the long-standing protection against sending healthy wild horses to slaughter. His 2026 request left it out too. Congress kept it in the final law last year anyway (via Roll Call). BLM can legally sell wild horses. The petition says once they're sold, they lose federal protection, with little oversight of where they end up. It asks Congress for a full audit of those sales. Add your name and make your voice heard before it’s too late! Link is in the first reply👇 #DemsUnited

DHS contractors are blowing up cliffsides and bulldozing wildlife habitat to build border walls in the Big Bend region. Last week we found dozens of plastic blast-hole covers planted in bore holes just a few feet from the Rio Grande. This is the least visited and least known stretch of border in the Big Bend region. It's known as the “forgotten reach” of the Rio Grande. While construction in the national park is paused for now, contractors are plowing full-steam ahead here and elsewhere in the region. All of this is happening while virtually nobody is crossing the border. The administration itself has repeatedly claimed that “the border has been closed.” So why are they spending $7 billion taxpayer dollars to blow up cliffs and bulldoze wildlife habitat in this remote, peaceful and virtually empty stretch of border?

That is so unbelievably sad. #russiaisaterroriststate
I arrived in Valky soaking wet. The moment you enter the town, there is something impossible to miss. In the center is a square filled with the faces of servicemen who lost their lives defending Ukraine. I thought about speeding this part of the video up. People do not have long attention spans online, and three minutes is a long time to ask someone to watch. But some things should be hard to look at. Every one of these men deserves that second on your screen. A brother. A son. A father. An uncle. A friend. A soldier. Someone who had a life before their photograph ended up here. I started this walk for my soldiers. But somewhere along these hundreds of kilometers, after meeting servicemen who stopped beside the road to shake my hand, thank me, tell me their stories, or simply walk with me for a while, I started to understand something. I am walking for all of us. For every serviceman and woman still fighting. And for every one who never came home. We deserve to be seen. They deserve to be remembered. A few hours before reaching Valky, I had been walking through a flash flood. I had no food. My feet were aching. My clothes were soaked completely through. And standing there, none of it mattered. What mattered was stopping. What mattered was giving these men a few minutes of my day. What mattered was bringing you with me so that, for a few minutes, you saw their faces too. Valky itself had a prewar population of only around 8,500 to 9,000 people, with roughly 28,000 across the wider community. It took me almost three minutes just to walk past the memorial. Three minutes of faces. In a town this small. That is what war looks like in Ukraine. Not statistics. Faces. And every single one of them mattered. #героямслава #standwithukraine

🚨 HUNTER VOWS TO KILL YELLOWSTONE’S OLDEST WOLF — HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP STOP IT Yellowstone’s extraordinary 12-year-old wolf 1090F has survived brutal winters, rival packs, injuries and everything nature has thrown at her. Now she could be killed simply for crossing an invisible line drawn by humans. 1090F is one of the oldest wolves ever recorded in Yellowstone and Wyoming and a celebrated member of the historic Mollie’s Pack — whose story stretches back to the restoration of wolves to Yellowstone in 1995. But Wyoming’s wolf hunting season in Wolf Hunt Area 1 opens SEPTEMBER 15. And one hunter has made his intentions very clear. Big Piney-area outdoorsman Mitch Gilliam told Cowboy State Daily: “I plan to be there on Sept. 15.” And when specifically asked about 1090F, he said: “If I see her, I’ll harvest her.” Gilliam even acknowledges what an extraordinary animal she is, saying that surviving to 12 means she is “obviously a smart wolf.” But he argues that because she’s old and declining, perhaps shooting her would be preferable to allowing her eventually to starve or be killed by another wolf pack. He also dismisses the emotional connection people have developed with Yellowstone’s famous wolves: “It’s not a cartoon character; it’s a wild wolf.” Gilliam has previously publicly defended Wyoming’s wolf-management policies and advocated removing federal Endangered Species Act protections for wolves across the Lower 48. He also organised a counter-demonstration against protesters campaigning over the infamous Cody Roberts wolf case and said he had subsequently become friends with Roberts. Now Gilliam says he intends to hunt in the region where Mollie’s Pack has been travelling. And he isn’t the only one. A Nevada social-media account called Kyri Ranch has also publicly targeted 1090F, reportedly declaring: “The matriarch 1090F is going down on the 15th of September.” Thankfully, most of Mollie’s Pack has now returned inside Yellowstone. But wildlife managers warn that these wolves could cross the park boundary again. The moment 1090F crosses that invisible line during the hunting season, she becomes vulnerable. 🚨 SO WHAT CAN WE ACTUALLY DO? The Wyoming Game & Fish Commission is the wildlife policy-making authority in Wyoming, and campaigners are demanding an emergency temporary closure of Wolf Hunt Area 1. EMAIL THE COMMISSIONERS: Mark.Jolovich@wyo.gov Rusty.Bell@wyoboards.gov Kenneth.Roberts@wyo.gov John.Masterson@wyoboards.gov Fonzy.Haskell@wyoboards.gov Bill.Mai@wyoboards.gov Ashlee.Lundvall@wyo.gov EMAIL WYOMING GOVERNOR MARK GORDON: Governor@wyo.gov Tell them: “Please immediately close Wolf Hunt Area 1 and protect 1090F and the historic Mollie’s Pack. A 12-year-old Yellowstone wolf should not become a trophy simply because she crosses an invisible boundary.” You can also SIGN AND SHARE the petition calling for Wolf Hunt Area 1 to be closed for the 2026 season. And SHARE 1090F’S STORY INTERNATIONALLY. Public pressure is already reaching Wyoming from around the world. One Wyoming Game & Fish commissioner confirmed receiving messages from across the United States, Australia and New Zealand. But please keep it peaceful and lawful. Do not threaten hunters, interfere with a hunt or harass individuals. Put the pressure on the officials who have the authority to change wildlife policy. 1090F has survived 12 years in one of the toughest environments on Earth. She deserves the chance to live out whatever time she has left naturally. DON’T LET AN INVISIBLE LINE BECOME HER DEATH SENTENCE. ACT NOW — THE HUNT OPENS SEPTEMBER 15. ANIMAL WATCH 🐺 #wyoming #1090F #wolf #greywolf #yellowstone #wolfhunting #animalwelfare
