Never in my life have I seen something more repulsive than what Trump and Vance just did to Zelenskyy in the Oval.
Lecturing someone who is defending his country from a brutal dictator while siding with Putin at every opportunity.
Just absolutely shameful in every way.

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

A handy chart from the @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social to help you identify bumblebee queens as they start to appear. You could be seeing some of the early ones soon if you haven’t already.

Why did the BBC shut down Marina Gibson on Saturday Live when she was talking about salmon farming? It was just starting to get interesting!

Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, has no place in the Church of England or our Parliament. Failing to report a prolific sex offender to the police makes him an enabler. He must resign now.

It's so important that music is inclusive. There are no auditions for my community choir and all are welcome. Singing is so good for mental health, and many people with dementia love listening to music or singing.

Please don't buy farmed salmon 😢
Atlantic salmon are incredible migrators, but in factory farms salmon can suffer greatly from being kept in overcrowded, barren cages, where they swim round & round in circles.

Today is the Observer’s 233rd birthday. And the first of 4 strike days. I grew up in South Wales in the shadow of the miners’ strike. Extraordinary to be joining a picket line outside what I believed was my liberal progressive news org all these years later.
We’re so grateful for your support & ✊

There are 372 North Atlantic Right Whales left. Of these only 96 are breeding females. They are critically endangered.
Because of recent Supreme Court rulings oil companies could soon begin sonic blasting along New England Coast, the summer home of the whales.
