⚠️URGENT BREAKING NEWS⚠️ This is happening in Miami right now and it’s not a sewage leak or an oil spill, it’s a toxic algae bloom caused by nutrient pollution and the recent mass fish kill. WE MUST STOP THIS NOW so please share this with your followers and tag people, celebrities and influencers who need to see this and send this to @scottforflorida @rondesantisfl @mayorofmiami @mayorgimenez @mayordangelber and tag them below too because we must get these government officials to declare a state of emergency in Biscayne Bay and initiate major reforms RIGHT NOW before anymore marine life get killed! This toxic algae bloom is dangerous for all living creatures, including humans, so nobody should come in contact with these waters, meaning do not bathe in them, do not ride boats, jet ski’s, kayaks or paddle boards either. As we posted about last week’s fish kill, this is the result of massive amounts of toxic fertilizers used commercially and also by residents in their homes, storm drains and high temperatures. This all combine to kill the seagrass, cutting the oxygen to the marine life, which will continue dying en masse unless we spread enough awareness to get locals, businesses & the government to take action NOW! So, please share this and help us make EVERYONE in Miami to take action before anymore marine life get killed!

⚠️URGENT BREAKING NEWS⚠️ Several of the major wildfires in California have more than doubled in size as firefighters are struggling to contain the blazes and now 65,000+ people have been told to evacuate! As of Thursday evening, more than 350,000 acres, nearly half the size of Rhode Island, have burned with only 5% containment so please share this post because EVERYONE must take the proper precautions and stay safe! California has experienced a historic lightning siege with 11,000 lightning strikes across the state this week amidst an intense heat wave and these two factors have caused more than 370 new fires. Governor Gavin Newsom has requested 375 fire crews from out of state because firefighting resources are thin, in part because prisoners normally conscripted into firefighting were locked down for COVID-19 or released from prison to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Swipe through these new photos and videos to see how dangerous these fast-growing fires have become and how people in the area MUST evacuate in order to stay safe — in one video a tow truck driver is going door to door to make sure residents evacuate safely! Please help us make everyone aware of the danger here by sharing this post with your followers, tagging people, celebrities, influencers and news media who need to see it and joining us in praying for the safety of all the brave firefighters, the local people and all the wildlife affected too!

Greece reportedly secretly sent away over 1,000 migrants abandoning them at sea.
Following the anti-immigration line of the hard right-wing government, Greek authorities have reportedly secretly expelled 1,072 asylum seekers, dropping many of them at the edge of Greek territorial waters where they have been abandoned in inflatable and sometimes overburdened life rafts. Acts that are illegal under international law.
In June, the UN agency for refugees urged Greek authorities to investigate multiple media reports of pushbacks at the country's borders and "possibly returning migrants and asylum seekers to Turkey after they had reached Greek territory or territorial waters." The Greek government denies the allegations and any illegality.

BREAKING NEWS: Swipe over to see videos of how this “firenado”, short for fire tornado, was created as 2020 has brought us yet another scary reminder of the power of Mother Nature! The rare and fiery tornado was spotted this weekend near a fire in California and the National Weather Service Office issued a tornado warning that formed by the Loyalton Fire, saying it was "capable of producing a fire-induced tornado and outflow winds in excess of 60 mph," CNN meteorologist Haley Brink said. Fire tornadoes are created when the rising heat from a fire pulls in smoke, fire and dirt, creating a rotation vortex above the blaze, Brink said. Fire tornadoes can be massive and deadly like in 2018 when one claimed the lives of a firefighter and bulldozer driver battling the Carr Fire. When the National Weather Service surveyed the damage on that firenado, it determined it was equivalent to an EF-3 tornado with winds in excess of 143 mph. Officials in California, Oregon and Colorado are currently battling a series of wildfires that have collectively torched more than 100,000 acres of land so far, and its expected to worsen this week as intense heat is now descending on much of the US. The Loyalton Fire has burned 20,000 acres and was only 5% contained so far — please share this with your followers and let’s all pray for the brave firefighters and for everyone in the area to stay safe and take these fires seriously!

Warsaw, Poland became the latest city to feature public art projects that also clean city air, as a giant mural made of special, sun-activated, smog-cleaning pigments was painted by local artists.
Organized by the sportswear company Converse as part of their City-Forests campaign, the mural was produced using photocatalytic paint with titanium dioxide that attracts airborne pollutants before converting them into harmless nitrates through a chemical process involving sunlight.
Through this process the mural reportedly purifies the surrounding air equal to 720 trees, and when the campaign is finished, the murals spread across several countries should be doing the work of 3,000.
The mural was erected on a building facing a popular metro stop and features a collection of smiling flowers entangled among high rise buildings. Polish artists Maciek Polak and Dawid Ryski designed the image, which was executed by the local artist hub Good Looking Studio, involving expert muralists.
Amid the flowers are the words “Create Together For Tomorrow,” a positive message to inspire change, which Converse officials feel will help welcome people who are returning to their daily commutes after periods of COVID-19 isolation.
Looking Good Studio website
“…for the time being everything has slowed down. At Converse we saw this as an opportunity to speak up and help produce fresh air through painting murals,” said a spokesman.
A global movement
After Bangkok in Thailand, Warsaw represents the second city to finish a mural, among 13 set to erect the City-Forests murals—Belgrade, Lima, Sydney, Jakarta, Manila, Sao Paulo, Santiago, Johannesburg, Melbourne, Bogota, and Panama City.
Looking Good Studio website
However, Converse is not the only ones using these special paints to clean the air. Dutch designer Studio Roosegaarde erected a series of billboards in Monterrey, Mexico, which use the same photocatalytic paint as the artwork in Warsaw.
Each billboard there generates the same amount of clean air as 30 trees every 6 hours—and it can function for up to five years.

On August 13, 1955, Lamar Smith, 63-year-old farmer and WWI veteran, was shot dead in cold blood on the crowded courthouse lawn in Brookhaven, Mississippi, for urging African Americans to vote in a local run-off election. No one was prosecuted.
.
.
Smith, a locally known voting rights advocate affiliated with the Regional Council of Negro Leadership, had been threatened and warned to stop trying to register and organize African American voters in the community. These threats were realized when Smith was murdered on the courthouse lawn in front of dozens of witnesses, including Sheriff Robert E. Case, who permitted one of the alleged assailants to leave the crime scene covered in blood. Days later, that man and two others were arrested in connection with the shooting. All three suspects were white.
.
.
In September 1955, a grand jury composed of 20 white men declined to indict the three suspects for murder after witnesses failed to come forward to testify.
.
.
Following the grand jury’s report, District Attorney E. C. Barlow criticized the lack of witness cooperation and complained about the sheriff’s handling of the case. Despite Barlow’s public promises to proceed with the investigation, the criminal case against the three suspects was dismissed. No one was punished for the crime.
.
.
Smith’s death was one of several racially-motivated killings in Mississippi that year, including the May 1955 murder of civil rights leader Rev. George Lee in Belzoni; the abduction and murder of Emmett Till in the Mississippi Delta in August 1955; and the fatal shooting of Gus Courts in Belzoni in December 1955. [Description by the Equal Justice Initiative: A History of Racial Injustice Timeline.]
.
.
Lamar Smith’s murder is listed in M is for Mississippi and Murder, a 1955 NAACP pamphlet that provides information about three racially-charged murders in Mississippi.

⚠️PLEASE SHARE THIS BREAKING NEWS WITH YOUR FOLLOWERS TO GET MAURITIUS URGENT HELP⚠️ Late Friday, the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius declared a “state of environmental emergency” after a Japanese-owned ship that ran aground offshore days ago began spilling tons of fuel. Mauritius has said the ship was carrying nearly 4,000 tons of fuel and cracks have appeared in its hull. Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth earlier in the day said his government was appealing to France for help, saying the spill “represents a danger” for the country of some 1.3 million people that relies heavily on tourism and has been been hit hard by the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. “Our country doesn’t have the skills and expertise to refloat stranded ships, so I have appealed for help from France and President Emmanuel Macron,” he said. Bad weather has made it impossible to act, and “I worry what could happen Sunday when the weather deteriorates.” Tons of diesel and oil are now leaking into the water, environmental group Greenpeace Africa’s climate and energy manager Happy Khambule said in a statement. “Thousands of species around the pristine lagoons of Blue Bay, Pointe d’Esny and Mahebourg are at risk of drowning in a sea of pollution, with dire consequences for Mauritius’ economy, food security and health,” Khambule said. A government environmental outlook released nearly a decade ago said Mauritius had a National Oil Spill Contingency Plan but equipment on hand was “adequate to deal with oil spills of less than 10 metric tonnes.” WE MUST GET MAURITIUS HELP so please send this to French President @emmanuelmacron and share this tragic news with your followers and encourage them to share it too and also tag people, celebrities, influencers and news media — let’s all work together to make this go viral so we can get more news coverage and International aid RIGHT NOW!

The U.S. dropped the world's first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan 75 years ago. A few days later, a second nuclear bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, forcing the Japanese to surrender and bringing an end to WWII.
Japan on Thursday marked 75 years since the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear attacks. Atomic bombs were dropped on the cities on August 6 and 9, 1945, almost completely destroying them. Between 130,000 and 226,000 people — mostly civilians — lost their lives.

Scenes of heavy police repression against anti-gentrification and anti-eviction protesters in Berlin.
Thousands of antifascists, anarchists, squatters and others took to the streets to join the "Defend neighborhood culture" demonstration to resist gentrification and evictions, including that of the “Syndikat” pub in Neukölln which is set to take place this week, but security forces cracked down hard, using batons and pepper spray to disperse the protesters.

Hundreds of elephants dead in mysterious mass die-off
Botswana’s government is yet to test the remains of the dead animals in what has been described as a ‘conservation disaster’
More than 350 elephants have died in northern Botswana in a mysterious mass die-off described by scientists as a “conservation disaster”.
A cluster of elephant deaths was first reported in the Okavango Delta in early May, with 169 individuals dead by the end of the month. By mid June, the number had more than doubled, with 70% of the deaths clustered around waterholes, according to local sources who wish to remain anonymous.
“This is a mass die-off on a level that hasn’t been seen in a very, very long time. Outside of drought, I don’t know of a die-off that has been this significant,” said Dr Niall McCann, the director of conservation at UK-based charity National Park Rescue.
The Botswana government has not yet tested samples so there is no information on what is causing the deaths or whether they could pose a risk to human health. The two main possibilities are poisoning or an unknown pathogen. Anthrax – initially considered the most likely cause – has been ruled out.
McCann said: “When we’ve got a mass die-off of elephants near human habitation at a time when wildlife disease is very much at the forefront of everyone’s minds, it seems extraordinary that the government has not sent the samples to a reputable lab.”
Local witnesses say some elephants were seen walking around in circles, which is an indication of neurological impairment. “If you look at the carcasses, some of them have fallen straight on their face, indicating they died very quickly. Others are obviously dying more slowly, like the ones that are wandering around. So it’s very difficult to say what this toxin is,” said McCann.
Elephants of all ages and both sexes have been dying, local reports found. Several live elephants appeared weak and emaciated, suggesting more will die in the coming weeks. The true number of deaths is likely to be even higher because carcasses can be difficult to spot, say conservationists.

This is from @economicpolicy Economic Policy Institute.
One of the most crucial provisions of the last coronavirus relief act was to provide an extra $600 weekly increase in unemployment benefits to the tens of millions of Americans who are currently out of work. Now the White House and many Republican policymakers want to let it expire or reduce it dramatically. But that would be a terrible mistake, and EPI economist Heidi Shierholz explains why:
Unemployment is at historic levels.
Unemployed workers need extra assistance during the pandemic.
Cutting off the $600 benefit will make racial inequality worse.
Cutting off the $600 benefit will kill millions of jobs.
Cutting off the $600 benefit will not be an incentive to work. Please continue to follow @evoke.foundation to #evokechange #evoketheconversation #evokefoundation

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser briefly met with family members of the late congressman and handed them a street sign for the plaza, the location of Lewis' last public appearance.
The motorcade also stopped at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and other historic sites in the nation's capital before arriving at Capitol Hill, where the civil rights icon will lie in state following a ceremony.

The statue of slave trader Edward Colston (seen in a viral video being thrown in the river) in the UK has been replaced by a sculpture of the protester, Jen Reid.
The new "temporary" statue is officially titled "A Surge of Power (Jen Reid) 2020."
*Note* Artist @marcquinnart who created this piece did not have permission to erect it, so the new statue could be taken down by authorities. He was inspired by Jen's photo of her standing atop the pillar after Colston's statue was removed.

Statues of slave traders, mass murderers, and other colonialists have been toppled by protesters or removed by governments in recent weeks following the reenergised Black Lives Matter movement, which has spread across the world. On Wednesday, Oxford University’s Oriel College voted in favour of removing its statue of the Victorian imperialist Cecil Rhodes and is to set up an independent inquiry into the key issues around it following a student-led campaign that began four years ago. In response to the the latest developments, Historian David Olusoga looks at the significance of these statues and impact they have had on the victims of the European empire and their descendants. Special thanks to the newspaper we should all be reading The Guardian.

The Black Lives Matter demonstrator who carried a counter-protester to safety during Saturday’s protests in London has spoken out about the moment he decided to intervene to help the man.
Describing his decision to step in, Patrick Hutchinson said: “His life was under threat, so I just went under, scooped him up, put him on my shoulders and started marching towards the police with him.” Hutchinson contrasted the intervention with the lack of action taken by the Minneapolis police officers who were involved in George Floyd’s death. “If the other three police officers that were standing around when George Floyd was murdered had thought about intervening, and stopping their colleague from doing what he was doing, like we did, George Floyd would be alive today. “I just want equality, equality for all of us. At the moment, the scales are unfairly balanced and I just want things to be fair for my children and my grandchildren.”

🔥After protestors tore down the statue of Edward Colston, they tossed it in the harbor where it belongs.
Edward Colston was a monster who bought, sold, and traded Africans, human beings, and forced them into slavery until they died. Nobody who did this should be honored. It was/is terrorism. Now. Then.
He never should’ve had a statue.
I’m proud of the activists and organizers in Bristol, in the United Kingdom, who tore this down.
TEAR THEM ALL DOWN. Everywhere.
I support this.
British Police show how being a public servant works by allowing freedom of speech to voice what the country believes in.
Black Lives Matters protesters in Bristol have pulled down a statue of the slave trader Edward Colston.
Demonstrators attached a rope to the Grade II-listed statue on Colston Avenue on Sunday before pulling it to the ground as crowds cheered. They then jumped on it and rolled it down the street before pushing it into Bristol Harbour.
Thanks you BBC for share this moment of history.

City workers and volunteers painted the words Black Lives Matter in enormous bright yellow letters on the street leading to the White House, a highly visible sign of the District of Columbia's embrace of a protest movement that has put it at odds with President Donald Trump.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser tweeted aerial video of the mural shortly after it was completed today. The letters and an image of the city's flag stretch across 16th Street for two blocks, ending just before the church where Trump staged a photo-op after federal officers forcibly cleared a peaceful demonstration to make way for the president and his entourage.
“The section of 16th street in front of the White House is now officially ‘Black Lives Matter Plaza,’” Bowser tweeted. A sign was put up to mark the change.
The White House had no comment.
The local chapter of Black Lives Matter did not support painting of the street and took a swipe at Bowser. “This is performative and a distraction from her active counter organizing to our demands to decrease the police budget and invest in the community,” it said on Twitter.

On this day, 31 May 1927, Fred Trump, the father of US president Donald Trump, was arrested at a rally of the Ku Klux Klan in Queens, New York.
He was initially arrested for "refusing to disperse" along with six other people after the rally descended into disorder. The Long Island Daily Press reported that all seven arrestees were wearing Klan robes.
After Donald Trump was endorsed by David Duke, the former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, Trump was questioned about his father's arrest. Donald claimed to journalist Jason Horowitz that "it never happened", despite it being reported in several newspapers. When Horowitz asked Trump if the address reported for his father in the newspapers, 175-24 Devonshire Rd, was accurate, Donald dismissed it as "totally false". However Fred Trump's wedding announcement in the Daily Press listed his address at 175-24 Devonshire Rd.
Fred Trump was subjected to legal action by the Justice Department on multiple occasions for racist behaviour as a landlord, and one of his former tenants, folk singer Woody Guthrie once wrote in a song mentioning Trump: "I suppose / Old Man Trump knows / Just how much / Racial Hate / He stirred up".

@evoke.foundation series LIFE IN QUARANTINE
INTROSPECTIVE magazine presents. Inside the Bubble of Melvin Sokolsky
Sokolsky dreamed the impossible and helped revolutionize the art of fashion photography during the heady 1960s. At the time, this was a radical concept, and he pushed the idea to the limit in his groundbreaking 1963 “Bubble” series for Harper’s Bazaar, in which models donning elegant couture were suspended in a Plexiglas bubble over Paris. The series has now come to New York’s Staley-Wise Gallery as part of “The Paris Pictures.” On display through April 16, the show includes signed prints ranging from On the Seine, Paris, 1963, in which a fetching couture-clad model skims over the river in a bubble, to Sokolsky, Make Dalí Fly, Paris, 1965, a group of contact sheets showing Salvador Dalí visiting Sokolsky’s set in Paris.

Facing demands more than twice the normal size — feeding 120,000 per week instead of 58,000 — Cooper has said he fears the Food Bank could run through its inventory in less than a month.
Reacting to the photos, Rep. Ina Minjarez, D-San Antonio, and Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, D-San Antonio, quickly gathered Bexar County’s state legislative delegation for a video conference with Cooper. The delegation includes Zaffirini, one of the highest-ranking legislators in the Texas Senate, and Sen. Jose Menendez, D-San Antonio, who went personally to the Food Bank office. “I woke up this morning to speak to our senators and congressmen and City Council. Every elected official is on it,” Cooper said. “And they are like, ‘We saw the picture. We understand now. What can we be doing to help?’…The level of urgency and the need was captured (in those photographs).#coronalife #evoketheconversation #evoke #lifeinquarantine #foodbanks @sanantonioexpress

Cory McAbee's 2001 release of "The American Astronaut". This is a low-budget sci-fi film like you have never seen. WILD……..The cover art is only a taste of the texture of what McAbee created. Love the risk taken to bring you to a place studio heads couldn’t see for the life of them, you need not judge for once and just take it in for what it is. Kind of Tom Waits of a film. Have to find a way to show this in EVOKE.
