I just wrote to my MP to call for immediate legal recognition of #humanistmarriages in England and Wales. The UK Government promised action but keeps delaying – it’s time to stop the excuses. humanists.uk/take-action-...
Write to your MP: Legally recognise humanist marriages, now!

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

My Mum's has had this for years and we gave it a bit of support when it was about 1.5ft. Is now over 3ft high with 13 babies!

But the mother plant is now only an inch away from having nowhere else to grow.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Shame the great BonnieShame isn't on this platform. We followed each other on Twitter & I'd love to know her thoughts on #TraitorTrump. He has NEVER apologised & only digs in. Will any Republican Senators go against Trump after disgracefully bullying Zelenskyy on live TV?

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

I’m glad this happened. Now the entire world knows once and for all that Trump & Vance stand with Putin.

So know you have to go to Trump and #TakeTheKnee or all hell breaks lose. Zelensky was shouted down. Framing as a "shouting match" unfair and pro-Putin imho (#SkyNews).

So Trump has made the US go full fascist at the United Nations by signing onto an Anti-Ukraine motion supported by the free & prosperous nations of Russia, North Korea & Hungary.

Democrats of the World must unite. Putin cannot win because Trump let him! Ukraine must not be betrayed. Can't trust US
