We know of 97 calves born in the wild to our ex-orphans. How? Because they chose to bring their newborns home to the people who raised them.
Some make the pilgrimage from the wild within hours of giving birth. Others might return to our Reintegration Units a few weeks or months after. Each time, our Keepers are like proud grandparents, over the moon with happiness.
Yatta has done it four times. Melia twice. A few have even chosen to give birth amid the Unit - like Murera here, with her newest baby Mwezi.
Meet our wildborn family, all alive today because we chose to rescue their orphan mothers: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/o…

These kids lost their minds when Mayor Mamdani gave out Halloween candy!
They posed for selfies, asked questions, and told him how much they love him.
Zohran Mamdani has officially reached rock star status!
I literally cried watching how loved Mayor Zohran Mamdani is in NYC especially by the children there from all walks of life. The questions they asked him were important to them and the way he answered them made me love him even more. The kids tried to keep him from leaving as they kept saying we love you Mayor.

Middle school teacher locks Hispanic boy in closet—for speaking Spanish to his friend.
"We are in the U.S. we speak only English, not Spanish!" teacher yelled.
Grabbed boy by his arm and threw him in closet—while other students laughed.
He started crying and trying to get out.
"This isn’t the first time a lot of parents were told that their kid can't speak Spanish in class," said one mother.
Whitworth-Buchanan Middle School has about 30% Hispanic student enrollment.
School officials confirmed that yes—locking the child in the closet did happen—but refuse to publicly name the teacher.
Incident occurred in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

If you are on the fence about voting, do it for the Americans whom ICE killed.
ICE took away their votes for Democrats.
So let’s all vote for them.

As AI firms recklessly unleash hacking agents across the internet, longstanding cybersecurity vulnerabilities are being exploited with even greater ease and frequency.
Hackers who compromise accounts or expose sensitive data can upend people’s lives.
This is not happening in a legal vacuum, and businesses across sectors face real legal duties.
At @FTC we routinely brought lawsuits against firms whose lax data security practices led to major hacks, exposing people to identify theft, stalking, and serious data misuse.
1. AI firms that are unleashing hacking agents could be held liable for engaging in “unfair or deceptive” practices under the FTC act and state UDAP laws, as well as other statutes.
2. Businesses whose systems get hacked because they’ve failed to follow basic security protocols may also be liable for failing to implement reasonable safeguards. Bad actors may be the ones exploiting these vulnerabilities, but that doesn't absolve businesses from having allowed the vulnerabilities to persist in the first place.
Here is a list we published of some basic security vulnerabilities businesses have a legal obligation to patch up: ftc.gov/policy/advocacy-rese…
3. CEOs can also be personally liable for presiding over lax data security practices, as we held in our case against Drizly: ftc.gov/news-events/news/pre…
4. Lastly, businesses that suffer hacks or breaches must alert any affected parties with clear disclosures that are timely, accurate, and actionable. Failing to disclose security breaches can also violate the law: ftc.gov/policy/advocacy-rese…

I was in court WITH Jeffrey Epstein for three days before he died and with his survivors reading their victim's impact statements. I KNOW what they have on Trump. There were 1700 photos of underage young people on the walls confiscated by the FBI. There were hard drives. WHERE ARE THEY?

BREAKING: OH MY GOD! Trump’s ICE goon shoves his gun in the face of an innocent bystander who was just WALKING HIS DOGS while they arrest some poor immigrant in Los Angeles!
Nobody is safe from these bastards…
Apparently just being CLOSE to an ICE arrest is enough to get you brutalized and abused by Trump’s out-of-control stormtroopers, who were filmed shoving a gun inches away from the face of a man who was just out walking his dogs while ICE made an arrest.
The poor man being kidnapped by the goon squad can be heard crying out in pain as they rough him up.
The family of the man arrested identified him as 27-year-old Angel Luis Gonzalez Lobo from Venezuela. His brother said he does not know why he was arrested.
“It was a no-questions-asked thing. They just came up on him, and it was a tussle in the bushes," said witness Damari Butler to KABC.
"The guy with the dogs, he stepped in a little bit. The ICE Agent pulled out a gun, backed him up in the bushes with the gun to his face, which was insane," Butler said. “At that point, I'm going to be honest with you, I thought that was the end for him.”
“It just felt very chaotic. It didn’t feel like anybody actually knew what they were doing on that side. It just felt like, 'If we need to use excessive force to get what we need -- do it,'" Butler said.
What kind of country do we live in where you can’t even walk your dogs without having a gun shoved in your face by the terror squad?
Vote, vote, vote, vote on Tuesday, so we can finally put a muzzle on Trump’s rabid dogs.

The goal isn’t to move elephants. It’s to make room for coexistence.
Elephants have moved through the Greater Mara Ecosystem for generations and so have the people who call this landscape home. Today, their paths often cross in areas where wildlife habitats and community lands meet.
When elephants come close to homes or farmland, the risk of human-elephant conflict increases. Crop damage threatens livelihoods, while encounters put both people and elephants at risk. In these situations, a timely response helps prevent conflict and keeps elephants safe.
Mara Elephant Project’s ranger teams use drone technology to monitor elephant movements and support responses when herds approach communities. Drones help our teams understand where elephants are and where they’re heading, allowing rangers to guide them away from areas where conflict may occur.
During a recent daily patrol, the ‘Foxtrot’ ranger team encountered a herd close to a local community. Using a drone to monitor the herd, the team supported a coordinated response to help guide the elephants away from the community.
The goal isn’t to deny elephants their space. It’s to help people and elephants share the landscape more safely, so both can thrive.
