#HedgerowChallenge for #WildflowerHour in memory of Nigel Dunnett 🤍🙏🕊️ Hawthorn Wayfaring tree Holly Hawthorn/Blackthorn + our local #postbox 💌 @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social 🌱

Ghislaine Maxwell abused young women & girls alongside Epstein for years. As young as 14. In multiple states. Convicted in a federal court. She belongs behind bars. I’m beyond disgusted that any of our colleagues would suggest a pardon. The real question is why has no one else been convicted?

Breaking: Epstein survivors release statement slamming Melania for trying to absolve herself of involvement in Epstein’s crimes. “Melania Trump is now shifting the burden onto survivors under politicized conditions that protect those with power.”

Quality of today’s sunlight is astonishing & welcome 🌞 Amaryllis didn’t flower, but is briefly making a handsome foliage plant 🪴 #bloomscrolling #houseplants 🌱

Can we please get back to finding out what’s in the Epstein Files?

Good interview with Sir Geoffrey Nice on whether/when the 'rulebook' on international conflict was thrown away. Nice makes the point that Hamas wanted the 2014 Gaza-Israel conflict investigated by ICC but 'rest of the world' refused an investigation involving Israel. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

"A state banquet? While he's bombing the hell out of Iran and people are dying all over the Middle East...?" David Dimbleby, journalist and presenter, argues against King Charles' planned state visit to the US in April. #Newsnight

It's odd that King Charles thinks being associated with Jeffrey Epstein disqualifies you from being an English prince but not an American president.

“English apple blossoms always lift my spirit. My grandfather dreamed of having an orchard when he was a prisoner during WW II; it helped him to have hope and survive. Apple trees & orchards are not just for fruit, they are for our mental health and our joy all year long,”-our Patron, Mark Rylance

What a result!! Huge congratulations to the amazing Hannah Spencer - everyone in Gorton and Denton has just made history. This result shows @greenparty.org.uk can win anywhere, that the politics of hope can win over the politics of hate & there is no longer any such thing as a Labour safe seat 💚

Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority

It's not just a "new recruit" thing, though that's disgraceful. The agents who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had been on the job for 7 years or more. The agency needs to be abolished, and the agents who've murdered, assaulted, and kidnapped people should be arrested, charged, and tried.

💚💜💛Hello #WildflowerHour More grim weather, but the flowers don’t seem to mind? Sweet Violet, Daisy, Gorse & Primroses 🌼 Sunshine please 🙏🌞 @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social 🌱
