The EU should completely ban X. It is not a social media platform but an mechanism to bring down democracies.

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?

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.
