Cooper, Smithsonian Institution Every year, billions of migratory birds connect the world’s continents, oceans and ecosystems as they undertake epic journeys between their foraging habitats and their breeding grounds. A bobolink (Dolichonyx oryzivorus) leaves its breeding grasslands of North America for the Pampas of South America. A Newell’s shearwater (Puffinus newelli) spends months soaring across the North Pacific before returning to the Hawaiian Islands to breed. A spoon-billed sandpiper (Calidris pygmaea) travels from Arctic Russia to the rapidly disappearing tidal mudflats of Southeast Asia for its…

[ad_1]  A short pause in hostilities seems to be at an end, with Iran, the U.S., and Saudi Arabia all conducting strikes as the Iran War entered its 152nd day on Wednesday. Iran’s IRGC launched missile attacks on U.S. positions in Jordan, framing the move as a response to “threats of the U.S. authorities and illegal interventions against [Iran’s] interests.” The Jordanian military said it shot down five Iranian missiles, and no casualties or damage have been reported.

[ad_1] By Mat Nashed This article was originally published by Truthout “It’s really the bare minimum to call out the actors involved … the EU should be doing a lot more,” said an expert.

[ad_1] This week, guest host Billy Binion is joined by Pamela Colloff, a reporter at ProPublica and a staff writer at The New York Times Magazine, as well as the author of the new book Catch the Devil. The book tells the story of Paul Skalnik, a prolific jailhouse informant whose testimony helped send dozens of men to prison, including one man who remains on death row despite serious questions about his conviction. Colloff explains how Skalnik repeatedly traded supposed jailhouse confessions for leniency, why police and prosecutors continued to rely on him despite his long history of deception, and…

World-renowned political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal is 72 years old, suffering multiple health problems, and may die in prison, say legal advocates in a new request they filed today that asks the United Nations to support his release. Abu-Jamal’s legal team decided to appeal to the UN after having exhausted nearly every legal avenue for relief available in the United States. Abu-Jamal was a Black Panther and journalist when he…

[ad_1] Excerpted from War Is Still A Lie. Since I wrote War Is A Lie in 2010 and updated it in 2015, the lies used to prop up wars have varied but continued. My summary remains true: Not a single thing that we commonly believe about wars that helps keep them around is true. Wars cannot be good or glorious.
