This nestling Great Horned Owl was admitted to the center yesterday after being found on the ground in Valparaiso. Unfortunately, she was injured in the fall and has damage to the metacarpals in her left wing.

Our team was able to stabilize the injured area with a splint and wrap and will schedule X-rays early this upcoming week to determine the extent of the damage and the likelihood that she will completely heal from her fall. (Additional photo in comments).

In many circumstances young birds of prey who have fallen from the nest have the opportunity to be placed back into their nest with their siblings and parents. When nests are inadequate, a man-made nest will suffice! If young birds are severely injured, however, the birds must be cared for in captivity until they are capable adults.

At our facility we have the ability to place young Great Horned Owls with our surrogate female, Errol. Errol was an injured nestling herself, raised by our team in 2018. Since becoming a surrogate, Errol has helped our team raise over a dozen Great Horned Owl chicks and gave them a better experience while at the rehab center.

This chick is going to need a lot of medical care as it continues to heal and grow. Young Great Horned Owls will easily consume $10-$15 in mice A DAY as they are growing. Orphans and fallen chicks, admitted this time of year, will remain at the center until September or October when they have proven that they are good enough hunters to survive the harsh winter.

And Youtube has restricted and demonetised it, of course.

Billions of dollars have been pledged to fight the climate crisis, but almost none is reaching Indigenous peoples, even as world leaders credit them as essential to solving it. “From the Amazon to Australia, and Africa to the Arctic, you are the great guardians of nature, a living library of biodiversity conservation, and champions of climate action,” U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres told the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York City last week.

But global funding hasn’t followed those words. Multi-billion-dollar financial institutions set up to address the climate crisis have largely failed to deliver money to Indigenous communities, or even track whether they’re benefiting. At the Permanent Forum, Indigenous advocates described how their communities have been devastated by flooding and wildfires and called on governments and global funds to provide direct access to climate finance.

“The demand for direct access to finance by Indigenous peoples is a matter of right. It’s actually explicitly mentioned in the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples that because of the historical injustices and the need for us to develop, we need direct access to finances,” said Joan Carling, who is Indigenous Kankanaey Igorot from the Philippines, a former expert member of the Permanent Forum and executive director of the organization Indigenous Peoples Rights International.

An analysis by the Rainforest Foundation Norway estimates that between 2011 and 2020, Indigenous peoples and local communities involved in land tenure and forest management received less than 1 percent of global funding for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Indigenous peoples are often combined with “local communities” in conservation spaces, despite calls from Indigenous U.N. experts to distinguish them.

“We are not asking for charity. We are not asking for privilege,” Carling continued. “This is a matter of right for us because it’s a matter of social justice. It’s just enabling us to adapt to the impacts of climate change that we did not create in the first place.”

The climate crisis is forcing many Indigenous leaders to make painful choices: rebuild homes after major disasters or relocate entire villages from ancestral lands. Those decisions are made harder by a lack of financial resources and despite international court rulings affirming the right to reparations for those harmed by climate change.

“We are protecting forests, we are protecting biodiversity,” said Deborah Sanchez, who is Indigenous Miskito from Honduras. Sanchez is the director of the Community Land Rights and Conservation Finance Initiative, which was created in 2021 to address the need for more direct climate financing. “Once the rights are realized for the communities, that’s the basis where everything can really be sustainable over time.”

The Green Climate Fund, or GCF, the official global climate fund designated by the Paris Agreement, has a portfolio of $20 billion. But not a single Indigenous peoples organization has been accredited to receive money from it, according to Helen Magata, who is Indigenous Kadaclan Igorot and serves on the fund’s Indigenous advisory committee, established in 2022. “That goes without saying that access to the fund by Indigenous peoples is near to nil,” said Magata.

Getting accredited involves meeting stringent criteria — financial management and accounting standards, environmental and social safeguards — and can take years. The fund’s minimum grant of $10 million can also be difficult for smaller communities to manage. “We have to jump through hoop after hoop in order to even qualify,” said Janene Yazzie, who is Diné and a member of the climate finance working group of the International Indigenous Peoples Forum on Climate Change. “They literally created a problem that is on us to prove our capacity to solve.”

A 2025 report by the fund’s Independent Evaluation Unit found that “the Green Climate Fund has not actively pursued a portfolio with Indigenous peoples” and that its processes lacked the flexibility to serve them. “For Indigenous peoples, this challenge is often compounded to the point of being insurmountable,” the report concluded, recommending the fund create a dedicated funding window for Indigenous peoples.

Magata said the fund also lacks a mechanism to track how much money Indigenous peoples actually receive. Funding recipients may claim their projects will serve Indigenous peoples, but it’s often unclear what percentage of the money reaches those communities. “If you don’t have a framework like that, then how could you say how much Indigenous peoples are really benefiting or not?” she said.

Rebecca Phwitiko, a communications specialist for the Green Climate Fund, acknowledged in an email that the fund does not yet have “a dedicated marker to track funding flows specifically to Indigenous Peoples’ organisations.” She said the fund has revised its accreditation process and supported projects benefiting Indigenous peoples in the Amazon, Australia, and the Pacific.

“Strengthening tracking, reporting, and accountability around Indigenous Peoples-related finance is an area GCF recognises as important and is continuing to work on,” she said. The fund recently held its first-ever Indigenous peoples conference in South Korea and last year accredited the International Land and Forest Tenure Facility, which works to secure land tenure rights for Indigenous peoples and local communities.

The Global Environment Facility, another major international climate fund, has disbursed more than $27 billion over three decades, including $50 million in dedicated funding for Indigenous peoples and local communities over the past eight years. Adriana Moreira, the fund’s head of partnerships, said it plans to increase that to $100 million for the next four-year funding round and intends to partner with five Indigenous-led trust funds. “We are constantly seeking to learn and improve,” she said.

Unlike the Green Climate Fund, the Global Environment Facility doesn’t require an extensive accreditation process and offers $75,000 capacity-building grants to Indigenous-led organizations. It has also set a goal of directing 20 percent of all its funding to Indigenous peoples and local communities. But like the Green Climate Fund, it is still working on ways to verify whether money actually reaches those communities. Sarah Wyatt, a senior biodiversity specialist at the fund, said it recently tested a new tracking method within one program and plans to expand it. “It is admittedly not going to be an exact science,” Wyatt said. “But still, if you don’t count, you can’t try to improve, right?”

Even if both funds improve their processes, neither can reach Indigenous peoples in the Global North. Both rely on governmental contributions classified as “official development aid” — funding that flows exclusively from wealthy countries to developing ones. At the U.N.’s annual climate conference in 2022, Yazzie was part of a caucus of Indigenous peoples who called on states to recognize the “false dichotomy of developed and developing countries in regard to funding initiatives and actions directed to Indigenous Peoples.”

At the Permanent Forum, delegates from Indigenous nations in North America described how melting ice and rising seas are causing irreversible harm to their traditional homelands — communities excluded from the current global climate financing structure. “We are dealing with the same issues and same forms of disenfranchisement across those global barriers,” said Yazzie. “It actually invisibilizes the way that the so-called ‘developed North’ profits from the theft of lands of Indigenous peoples within their own territories. To demand that those flows only go to the South is a continuation of those same colonial policies.”

Yazzie also criticized the widespread use of the phrase “Indigenous peoples and local communities,” which U.N. experts have called on climate treaties to abandon. Representatives from the Global Environment Facility said they use the description of local communities in the Convention on Biological Diversity, which describes local communities as embodying traditional lifestyles relevant for the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity. “So you see how much more narrow that truly is,” said Wyatt from the Global Environment Facility. “But I would give the example actually in the Pacific, where folks may not always call themselves Indigenous, but they would fit that type of definition.” She added the term also helps channel funding to communities in countries that don’t formally recognize Indigenous peoples — but acknowledged they don’t know what share of their grants go to Indigenous communities specifically versus local communities more broadly.

The challenge of receiving global climate finance is pushing some groups to build alternatives. “We were in the communities, we saw that the funding didn’t go to the ground,” said Sanchez from the Community Land Rights and Conservation Finance Initiative, whose organization draws mostly from private philanthropy to provide grants to Indigenous peoples, local communities, and Afro-descendant organizations.

Magata remains hopeful that the major funds can change. “At the end of the day, the ultimate objective is we want to bring as much money as near to the ground as possible,” she said.

I’m not writing this to criticize the uutils team. Quite the contrary; I actually want to thank them for sharing the audit results in such detail so that we can all learn from them.

An account on Feddit.org is pushing a screenshot of a conspiracy theory that shows db0 is run by Nazis. Zero evidence is supplied except a link that mysteriously doesn't work. Of course Feddit.org is eating this up as all the proof they needed.

When arguing against that and how suspicious it is that a user was browsing this site at all to happen to discover a month old post that conveniently portrayed a plan by Nazis to take over the instances who defederated feddit.org for Zionism.

Knowing how important following German law is for Feddit.org, I inquired as to if libel was against the law. I was informed that it was and calling people Nazis was libel (i.e. exactly what the post they are hosting is doing).

I was than banned for apparently calling someone a Nazi? (I never did, you can see that below) yet in the modlog the actual reason given was bad-faith, because I did not blindly accept a easily falsified screenshot.

The admin in question is Emopunker@feddit@feddit.org

This evidence continues a history of bad-faith and outright lying by the administration at Feddit.org.

I will investigate reporting this to the German authorities, it is unacceptable that Feddit.org will call people Nazis with the full support of the administration staff.

President Trump called CBS correspondent Norah O’Donnell a “disgrace” for reading out the words of the man accused of trying to assassinate him over the weekend. In an email to family members, the 31-year-old suspected shooter Cole Allen wrote: “I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” Assuming that Allen was talking about him, Trump repeated the false claim that he had been “totally exonerated” of sexual crimes. “I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody. I’m not a paedophile,” he raged, adding: “You should be ashamed of yourself for reading that.”

On Sunday 26 April, Green Party MP Hannah Spencer complained that MPs are boozing at work. Her comments went down incredibly poorly with soused MPs and journalists, but the public overwhelmingly backed her.

Now, the debate has turned nasty, because the only establishment figures left fighting are the grimmest perverts imaginable:

Great to see that the Spectator have wheeled out their finest to attack Hannah Spencer. Only in the UK can you write a column about how you cannot be trusted not to r*pe children and still keep your job. https://t.co/REJSHUnpDn pic.twitter.com/aehRlPbsO0

Send in the creeps

Self-confessed mind-paedophile Rod Liddle’s article begins:

I think the best and most succinct description of the Green party was Tim Stanley’s ‘Stalin with a nose ring’. It gives a nod to the witless middle-class skankery of the party’s members and supporters but posits that there might be, underneath, a darker undercurrent.

This ‘dark undercurrent’ he’s talking about is not wanting MPs to drink at work – something the public overwhelmingly backs:

A total of 76% of people agree that it is unacceptable — and 52% completely unacceptable — for MPs to be drinking at work.

Liddle also said:

I’m sorry Spencer doesn’t like the smell. I suspect her fellow MPs aren’t too keen on the stench of semi-digested kale which emanates from the woman, either, but we have to put these minor inconveniences aside. She represents a party which sees no harm in legalising Class A drugs, but cavils at alcohol. And she does so because alcohol is enjoyed largely by people who don’t like the Greens. It is alcohol as a signifier which annoys her, not the state of being incapacitated by it.

Rod – like your establishment media friends – you’re pretending not to understand what she said:

The UK's political culture relies on performative and aggressive stupidity to make sure nothing actually ever changes for the better. https://t.co/qlF7ePXWyX

— Marl Karx (@BareLeft) April 27, 2026

To make it simple for you:

1. The Greens have spoken about legalising drugs to remove a source of income for criminal enterprise and to ensure that anyone taking hard drugs does so safely; they’re not advocating for crack pipes in the office.
2. Spencer very clearly said her issue was with MPs drinking at work – not with people drinking in general.

We’d provide a longer numbered list, but we suspect Liddle wouldn’t be interested in anything past 16.

Menace to society

The next establishment figure to wade in is literally famous for being a drunken menace in Parliament. Here’s what MP Neil Coyle had to say:

I haven’t drunk alcohol in over 4 years but I don’t believe a total ban is necessary in Parliament and know Southwark brewers have loved being the guest beer in Strangers.

I’m also unaware of any Labour MP who took money from women to hypnotise their breasts larger. https://t.co/CaamewxhhD

First off, fair play to Labour politicians for sticking with the ‘hypno-boobitism’ schtick. Since they first cracked it out, the Green have overtaken them in the polls and nearly quadrupled their membership, and yet Labour MPs are still convinced the attack line is going to land at some point – an attack line which originated with the Sun, no less!

Back to Coyle, people were quick to point out he’s literally the poster boy for not allowing alcohol at work:

Four years ago he got drunk, sexually harassed a woman and was racially abusive to a journalist. And got away with it. Coyle should have maybe kept out of this one. https://t.co/mE7nBXomLi

— Dr Iain Darcy (@doctoriaindarcy) April 28, 2026

As the BBC reported in 2023:

Neil Coyle has been reinstated as a Labour MP, following a Commons suspension for breaching Parliament’s harassment rules.

He was suspended as an MP for five days in March, after a parliamentary probe found he had made racist comments towards a journalist.

He was also found to have engaged in “foul-mouthed and drunken abuse” of a parliamentary assistant to another MP.

Labour sources said his conduct would be monitored by its chief whip.

Mr Coyle, the MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark, was suspended by the party last year after allegations about his comments to the reporter emerged.

The move meant he had to sit as an independent MP in the House of Commons. He was also banned from bars in Parliament for six months.

The problem with giving MPs access to cheap booze at work is it essentially encourages them to drink.

This is just another way our political establishment is at odds with the public, because Britons are overall drinking less and less. Largely, this is because people’s increased awareness of health and fitness means they understand they shouldn’t feel rundown and tetchy all the time; they should actually feel alive and happy.

Do the MPs attacking Spencer seem alive and happy to you?

Fresh, un-bloodshot eyes

While the attacks on Spencer are getting grimmer, they’re also getting lazier:

I thought this was a Green making a joke but their account is anti-Green. They thought people were gonna fall for that beer png they photoshopped onto it I mean I commend them for not using AI at least. https://t.co/zIyHKszBLC

We predict that, a year from now, you’ll struggle to find a single MP who publicly condones drinking at work. This is the benefit of having politicians like Spencer who aren’t a product of the establishment pipeline. They point out things that are obvious to the rest of us, but are completely mystifying to the degenerates who rule the country.
