Long-delayed Jan. 6 plaque honoring police quietly erected overnight at Capitol
Sharpton: "We're still here! We've come this far by faith. It was against the law to read and write! It was against the law to marry, but we've come this far by faith. I don't care what they do in Washington, I care what we do in the community. We've beat people bigger than Trump!"
Thank you for your clarity on @donlemonofficial.bsky.social

Thanks for sharing a very welcome laugh 😂🙏🤣
“The walking-to-the-dancefloor-dance” 😂🤣💞
Close up stalk of Hairy Bittersweet - tiny white flowers, each with 4 stamens? In sunshine with its shadow falling on a teal-coloured linen napkin
Think I see 4 stamens!? 😇
👍Thanks so much Jo ✨Now the light’s better I’ll hope to get a closer look 🔍👀 or try a pic with my phone - may be clearer than iPad pics 🙏🌱
Mistaken identity on Sunday! Close up of small-leaved plant with fresh green foliage. Stems of small white flowers & long straight seedheads - Bittercress? Not heart-shaped seeds of Shepherd’s Purse
Small green plant with stems of white flowers & straight seedheads - Bittercress?
Aha - not Shepherd’s Purse!
In better light & by the shape of its seeds - Bittercress? 🌱👀

Just reading Dan Pearson’s ‘Dig Delve’ newsletter (28Feb) which includes a *garden* variety: Cardamine quinquefolia or ‘five-leaved cuckoo flower’
RHS says: a spreading herbaceous perennial up to 30cm high with five-lobed green leaves & clusters of many pink-lilac flowers from early Spring 🤔🌸

Tall yellow flowers against a blurred green and yellow background.
A nice big patch of Coltsfoot on the West Cambridge Site. #WildflowerHour

White Cherry Plum flowers with yellow anthers on a green twig against the back drop of a remnant laid hedge with a stake and binding visible.
Over the past week one rain soaked Cherry Plum flower became one amongst many. #WildflowerHour
Can it be Cuckoo Flower/Lady’s Smock already? Cardamine pratensis? 🌸
For Wildflower Hour —
Stepping into Spring —
a slow procession of early wildflowers,
each one answering the light.
Soundtrack: spring’s first dawn chorus.

Clump of pale-petalled wild (?) Daffodils growing at the base of a big old Ivy-clad Ash tree. A couple of dark Ash buds on low twigs, also some Bramble foliage
A single purple flower of Sweet Violet on a cork mat. Creature had bitten or pecked off this bloom, but not eaten it?
A fresh green clump of Shepherds Purse
Prettily marked leaves of Celandine, but no flower yet? Growing in rough grass which is speckled with tiny mizzle raindrops
#WildflowerHour for St David’s Day 🏴
Daffodils, a discarded Sweet Violet, Shepherd’s Purse & Celandine leaves 💛💜💚

What a result!! Huge congratulations to the amazing Hannah Spencer - everyone in Gorton and Denton has just made history. This result shows @greenparty.org.uk can win anywhere, that the politics of hope can win over the politics of hate & there is no longer any such thing as a Labour safe seat 💚
Lovely read ❤️🩹🙏🕊️ Thank you.
So glad Oystercatchers are still there. Recall being astonished to see/hear them, maybe same spot? Memorable walks - a respite between bouts of elderly family member caring. We stayed B&B with Mrs Cowking near Slaidburn 🥓🍳
Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority
It's not just a "new recruit" thing, though that's disgraceful. The agents who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had been on the job for 7 years or more. The agency needs to be abolished, and the agents who've murdered, assaulted, and kidnapped people should be arrested, charged, and tried.

Gorse bush covered in golden yellow flowers. Rough grass beneath, and a clump of jolly yellow Daffodils
Old Ash tree stump in rough grass with three Primrose clumps and dark Ivy growing at its base
💚💜💛Hello #WildflowerHour
More grim weather, but the flowers don’t seem to mind? Sweet Violet, Daisy, Gorse & Primroses 🌼 Sunshine please 🙏🌞

A retired British primary school administrator with a British passport and a valid visa was shackled, chained and detained for six weeks by ICE

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.
She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.
Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.
BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.
