About
Biodiversity is a term used to describe the enormous variety of life on Earth. It can be used more specifically to refer to all of the species in one region or ecosystem. Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans. Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects. This means that millions of other organisms remain a complete mystery.
Over generations, all of the species that are currently alive today have evolved unique traits that make them distinct from other species. These differences are what scientists use to tell one species from another. Organisms that have evolved to be so different from one another that they can no longer reproduce with each other are considered different species. All organisms that can reproduce with each other fall into one species. Read more...

This is the exact same tactic this regime will use on the 20th of April to declare martial law. I’m really curious how long it took the Germans in the late 1930’s to call it what it was.
This is a coup d’etat. Lots of people will die. The regime - even if DJT dies or gets shot - will go on. There won’t be any more fair elections. I hope these protests go from 5 million to 10 million on Saturday, because only a mass movement can stop this.
*mass armed movement they don't care if 100 million person manifest if they fear nothing after that and no they don't need a reason for martial law still gonna happen with only peaceful protest
I thought when talking about the USA the arms and violence is implied. Though, historically it is curious how the French with a notorious lack of weapons wreak more havoc than them 2nd amendment folks.
Lol, as I just pointed out in my other comment, you’re someone who sees a picture and jumps to conclusions. Don’t brigade and attempt to rob others who want to read the entire linked article.
What's on April 20..?
Scroll down for fun
In Germany, by 1934 the regime had publicly admitted murdering hundreds of their opponents without trial.
And written a law after the fact which simply stated: "The measures taken on June 30, July 1 and 2, 1934 are lawful as state self-defense."
Germans knew.
I agree. But I’m just wondering if they went to the butcher to get a bit of meat if they were a acknowledging that they were living under a dictatorial regime right now?
Up until late 1944 or early 1945, most people basically just kept living their lives normally, while making some secret jokes about the regime, being annoyed by the constant air raid sirens, complaining about food shortages, actively looking away when their Jewish neighbors were arrested, and mourning their dead sons, yes.
