Found this Fungi growing at the bottom of the garden. Is anyone able to help with id? #Nature #Garden #Fungi

NEW: JD Vance is visiting Charlbury, UK on vacation - the residents were ready for him. The VP lectured the UK about free speech. He now gets to experience it first hand. (🎥 Channel Four News)

As we head into the 3rd heatwave of the summer, *please* take just 2 moments to sign this petition calling on government to help our communities adapt & prepare for the impacts of #climate change. We are not safe — we need to be #SAFER @climatemajority.bsky.social

President Macron, "There are 300,00 French people living in the UK and 150,000 British people living in France" "Let's work together in order to facilitate the exchange of citizens, researchers, intellectuals, artists" "Let's allow our children to have the same opportunities we had"

Trying to match enthusiasm for wanting to grow our own with what our teens want to eat... They like crispy iceberg lettuce so I tried 'Reine des Glaces' and the first harvest has passed the teen test. #GrowYourOwn

So much shocking and scary stuff coming out of the USA atm and I'm only really seeing it on here by looking for reliable sources. Just can't imagine this happening in a so called free country #ICE

Tens of thousands came out to #NoKings San Diego. Zero arrests. The only violence is that I was stung by a bee.

NEW: In the city where US troops are turning on US citizens, an uprising. This is LA right now. Thousands protesting against Trump, authoritarianism and fascism. “These numbers are absolutely overwhelming downtown Los Angeles.” - MSNBC #NoKings #50501Movement

Seniors in Salt Lake City heading out for a #nokingsprotest in front of their assisted living facility.

Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman who was shot and killed last night had been fighting for gun sense laws.

ICE abducted Moises Sotelo today. He is a trusted vineyard management business owner from Newburg, Oregon, who has been in the US since 1994. He has a wife, three children, and five grandchildren who need him to be returned safely to them.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

US Senator Alex Padilla of California illegally removed by Trump regime thugs for questioning the regime. The regime thugs then tried to stop recording of the repression in an attempt to cover it up. #3E #EndImpunity

Good morning☕ at #Bluesky 💙💛 ‼️ #StandWithNewsom #LosAngeles ✌🏼 Gavin Newsom 👍👏 #California will keep fighting on behalf of all our people including in the courts. If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant,based only on suspicion or skin color,then none of us are safe. ->1/3

This story exemplifies the reason people are outraged at ICE. This guy did nothing wrong. He broke not a single law. He was a guard at a base that housed US troops. He came here legally through humanitarian parole. He had an asylum application pending. Yet the Trump admin had ICE grab him anyway.

We respectfully urge @bsky.app to review the spam label placed on @hansrajmeena.in. Hansraj Meena is a prominent voice for Indigenous rights and social justice. Silencing his educational and awareness-driven content undermines the values of democracy. @safety.bsky.app @atproto.com @jay.bsky.team

A man whose girlfriend was arrested by ICE says ICE wanted them to riot to make them look bad. "They wanted people to start burning out because this is the effect. So they can make us look bad. So they can make a scene that we're the ones causing this, that we started it. We didn't start this."

At ~6:15 p.m. tonight the Los Angeles City Attorney sent out a statement on the ICE raids. "The dangerous escalation of the tactics being used across Los Angeles undermines trust between our immigrant communities and government, and makes us all less safe." cityattorney.lacity.gov/updates/la-c...

📢 This #WorldOceanDay we're DEMANDING action from govt: BAN bottom trawling in protected areas! 🌊🪸 TAKE A STAND WITH US HERE: act.for-the-ocean.org/act/protect-... 🚨 The world's watching. The time is now⏰ Our director @hugotagholm.bsky.social at the UN Ocean Conference making sure we're heard 🔽

Despicable action by ICE to go after an Afghan who fought besides our troops.

A father screams for his child from a tiny interview room within a basement waiting room inside LA federal building. The space is not a holding area. No food. No water. No diapers. Those initially detained include a 2-year-old US citizen and a woman with high-risk pregnancy.

Deporting a gay man to Russia is beyond horrific, and yet this admin is happy to do it. And the verbal abuse he describes is abhorrent; and not new. Guards at detention centers, jails, and prisons get away with crap like this all the time. It’s appalling, it’s not new under Trump, just worse now.

Delighted to find this wee hedgehog in the garden rustling through the leaf piles we left over winter, messy corners are great for wildlife! 🦔🦔🦔

Insane this isn’t a bigger global story. Climate change is causing glacier collapse in the Alps. The Swiss town of Blatten was destroyed yesterday. The few buildings that survived the 3.5 million cubic metres of landslide are now slowly drowning as the collapsed mountain damns the river. (🎥 AFP)

Time to catch up with some outdoor stuff after busy weeks at work. First up... Harvesting over wintered garlic and onions.

Harvard has just under 6,800 foreign students enrolled. Every one of them would have to give up their dreams of an education in the US or transfer elsewhere, if Noem's attack on Harvard is upheld. None of them have done anything wrong, they're just collateral damage to Trump.

Another clip from last night’s breathtaking Nightjar encounter. Two males churring as dusk falls with bonus wing clapping and bubbling vocalisations thrown in too. It’s going to take something special to beat this as our bird encounter of the year. @birdsinwales.bsky.social #birdingWales #birds

I still think represents the most shocking void in the UK’s COVID response - when the largest biomedical facility offered to undertake testing (many universities did the same) the government didn’t even answer. The cost would have been minimal. But no profit for private companies… is that it?

“I don't believe a champion is the biggest, baddest, meanest dude in the world. I think the champion is like a warrior; it's like the head knight or lead samurai: humble men of integrity, respect, and honor that treat people kindly.” ~ Jon Jones

The Shompen, one of the world’s most isolated tribes, face extinction as India plans to turn their tiny Great Nicobar island into a “Hong Kong” — with ports, airports, and a city for 650,000 people. Their rainforest home will be destroyed. This must be stopped. #SaveShompen

🚨Are you one of 10,554 women raped/ sexually assaulted in my constituency?🚨 Speaking in debate Tues, I want to hear your experience before then. Shame can only change sides when we tell our stories. Email to anonymously share yours or arrange call. *I believe you* Natalie ❤️

We are utterly dismayed by this news. The loss of ancient woodland to a development anywhere is shameful. To see it destroyed in a National Park beggars belief. This proposal contravenes multiple regulations and sparked vast opposition locally and nationally. 🧵 1/2 👉 buff.ly/OIP5tbf

May is the perfect month to start our messy mission, remember to leave a messy patch of long grass this month and join #NoMowMay 🌷🪻🌱🌿🦋

Day 135 of #365DaysOfSmiles Forbidden friendship

Andry Romero, a young gay man, was given an asylum appointment by the U.S. Government. When he showed up to the appointment we kidnapped him and sent him to a foreign prison. I asked Secretary Noem to check if he’s alive. Her response was shameful.

Just before we made the move to #BoycottAmazon I found somewhere else to buy my liquid iron supplement. HealthySupplies.co.uk pledge to be eco friendly and contribute to restoring coral. A definite improvement! #EthicalShopping Just placed my order.

All reporting suggests that she is not a refugee by any definition of the term, yet she is being flown here at taxpayer expense and handed a path to citizenship while the real refugee program remains dead. I’ve got nothing against her, but I do have something against the president doing this.

NEW: Amazing scenes in Bucharest, Romania tonight. Tens of thousands on the streets of the capital pledging their support to Europe and their opposition to Russia, ahead of elections next week. (🎥 Daractenus)

Hedgerows are one of the most important habitats we have, providing food and shelter for many creatures. But we’ve lost thousands of miles of hedgerow since the 1950s. So please plant a hedge, to help wildlife, people and planet! #NationalHedgerowWeek littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/hedges.html

TLDR: Trump is blocking Afghan allies who worked to support our troops from coming here as refugees from the Taliban, and instead granting refugee status for White Afrikaners, who he'll have flown here on a private jet on the taxpayer dime. Hard not to be furious about it, IMHO.
