“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”Rest in Peace, Jane Goodall 🙏🏻
From The Guardian:
Jane Goodall, world-renowned primatologist, dies aged 91
… The Jane Goodall Institute announced that she had died of natural causes while in California as part of a US speaking tour.“Dr Goodall’s discoveries as an ethologist revolutionised science,” the statement read. “She was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world.”
Born in London in 1934, Goodall began researching free-living chimpanzees in Tanzania in 1960. In 1977 she founded the Jane Goodall Institute, which works to protect the species and supports youth projects aimed at benefiting animals and the environment.
She was considered the leading expert on chimpanzees, her career spanning more than 60 years. Her research was pivotal in proving the similarities in primate and human behaviour.
The renowned conservationist was on stage in New York just last week, before appearing talking about her work on a Wall Street Journal podcast two days later.
She was due to appear at a speaking event reflecting on her long life and career in Los Angeles on 3 October, before another event in Washington DC the following week…
While still in her 20s, Goodall began researching chimpanzees at Gombe Stream national park in Tanzania. Her work observing their social behaviour helped challenge the idea that only humans could use tools and that chimps were vegetarian.
She went on to set up the Jane Goodall Institute to improve the understanding and treatment of primates, and to protect their natural habitats with the help of local people. It now has officers in more than 25 countries around the world.
Goodall, who was awarded the title of Messenger of Peace by the UN in 2002, was an outspoken advocate of environmental issues and campaigned against the use of animals in medical research and zoos.
In 1991, the institute launched the Roots and Shoots project to involve young people in conservation. The project started with a group of students working with Goodall but went on to create a network of active young people across nearly 100 countries…
Well into her 80s, Goodall showed little sign of slowing down as she continued to write and speak about her work. During the pandemic, she launched a podcast called Hopecast in which she interviewed other environmentalists and activists.
She was made a dame in 2004, and earlier this year received the Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honour, from the outgoing president, Joe Biden. In 2022, her legacy was marked in more unusual fashion in the form of a Jane Goodall Barbie doll, as part of the producer’s series on inspiring women.
In a 2023 interview with the Guardian, she spoke of the importance of focusing on making any kind of difference rather than trying to solve the world’s problems.
“We have a window of time to change this planet’s course, but it’s rapidly closing,” she said. “If governments do what they say they’ll do, we still have a chance.”…

For over 60 years, Jane Goodall was a force for research about our precious planet—and climate change action to protect it—while breaking glass ceilings along the way.I’ll so miss her courage and commitment to help expand what we know about our world and preserve it for the generations to come.

The same day Trump announced the $20 billion bailout for Argentina, they cut grain exports taxes by $7 billion. Then China rushed in and bought 10 freighters worth of soybeans. Argentina used the bailout to undercut U.S. grain exports.
Farmers and exporters should be outraged. https://t.co/QPHb8FWTln

There is a darkness and evil that is taking over ICE, led by the dark lord Miller.
ICE is launching a nationwide operation today, Friday 10/3, reportedly named “Freaky Friday” that will target unaccompanied children aged 14 and older of all nationalities. Here is what we know:
1. Children detained and released will be sent a “threat” letter from ICE threatening indefinite detention and immediate transfer to ICE upon age-out if they do not waive jurisdiction under the TVPRA and withdraw applications for relief, including withdrawing their request for admission with EOIR.
2. Children will be offered $2,500 to return to their countries of origin.
3. If children do not comply with the “offer”, the letter indicates their parents/family living in the US will be arrested.
4. ICE plans to detain all age-outs, and they anticipate legal challenges.
5. It is possible that the age threshold for this threat letter may be lowered to youth 10 years old and older.
6. ICE will first target detained children but will also target children released from custody.
Some private and non-profit legal service providers have suggested the following steps.
1. Consider advising children out of custody of the possibility of receiving a letter.
2. Provide Know Your Rights (KYR) presentations to all children you are working with in custody as soon as practicable, advising them of this plan and their right not to sign anything without consulting their attorney.
3. File L-3 forms for all children in custody, as capacity allows.
4. If a child receives a letter, consider preparing a declaration that particularly highlights the manner in which this ICE letter was delivered (Was counsel present and able to advise? Was the youth able to ask questions? Etc.), evidence of coercion or intimidation, underlying fear of return elements related to child’s relief application. These declarations will help litigators challenge this practice.

Top Trump econ advisor: The fact is that the people who grow stuff in rows, like soybeans and corn, have seen a dramatic reduction in demand for their goods because of China. Soybean prices are way, way down. We estimate that farmers could be looking at losses of the tens of billions of dollars.
Reporter: So trade wars aren’t exactly costless then.
Trump econ advisor: Well, there’s costs and benefits for for every single policy.

ICE attacked the police chief in Broadview, IL. He says his officers are being tear-gassed by ICE and diverted from their duties. Over 20% of U.S. cops are veterans. Kristi Noem and Donald Trump’s forces are anti-cop, anti-safety, and anti-American.
