A kingfisher called late at night and I thought it was saying Jesús. Now all I will hear when I hear a Kingfisher, is Jesús.

UK's version of the FBI will be surely focusing on arresting peaceful protestors, freeing up police forces to actually arrest real criminals.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?
ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.
I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

This week, an X user created an AI video of me being chloroformed and prepared for rape.
Victims are told it's not real and they're getting offended for no reason.
But nudification tools are weapons of sexual assault, and the harm they cause is real 👇

Another great #Winterwatch to end a fantastic series. I especially liked Lira’s time on Mull, Hannah’s Otter and Kingfisher film, the Stoat film and the Badgers fighting possibly my favourite ever bit of live footage. Thanks to all involved for a brilliant and fascinating week.

I don't yet have a date for this debate. "Probably in the next month" is the best guide I have. Will put out timing on social channels as soon as I have them
❗This could stop a dangerous attack on peaceful protest❗
Green Peer Baroness Natalie Bennett has tabled a rare fatal motion to challenge Labour’s attempt to criminalise peaceful protest.
Labour’s amendment to the Public Order Act has already passed the House of Commons and is now heading to Lords.
