Let dandelions grow: Bees, birds & butterflies need them. Dandelions provide an early food source for pollinators, aerate soil, & offer exceptional nutritional benefits for humans & pets.

Dandelion are rich in vitamins/minerals/antioxidants. The leaves & flowers can be consumed in salads/teas/wine.

Dandelions are demonised as one of the most pernicious weeds, but hold back on the mowing and you’ll find a whole range of garden wildlife depends on them for food, writes Kate Bradbury

Exactly—it’s terrifying. We have the brightest minds protecting us from outbreaks, & instead of listening to them, we’re left with crackpot theories getting airtime. Cod liver oil for measles?🤦🏼‍♀️ Alarming how easily misinformation spreads. I’ll never understand the purpose of sidelining the experts.

We've all been joking about how RFK Jr. must have brain worms, and then we find out he actually has brain worms! #LobalWorming #DailyShow #JordanKlepper #RFKjr

Sadly the UK is falling behind—as Germany & France scoop up America’s top scientists. Jeremy Corbyn would’ve done the right thing—so sad he was pushed out. Lived in England for a year—went to an anti-badger cull rally, & Jeremy Corbyn showed up on his bike, no bodyguards, no pomp—& walked with us.

You’re right—they were treated like dirt and there’s no guarantee it won’t happen again.😔But I’m worried about losing our best scientists. That will only benefit the idiots that don’t want the truth out. When scientists step back, disinformation steps in—& Lord knows America is struggling with that.

Makes no sense. It’s only been 9 mos. What will we look like in 4 years?

Exactly. If this much damage has been done in just nine months, I can’t even imagine what will happen in four years. The pattern is clear — firing our expert scientists will never ends well.😔

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

ICYMI: Netanyahu could’ve ended the war a year ago. He‘s just agreed to the exact same Gaza deal offered a year ago, when Biden was president. He rejected it a year ago, because he was waiting for regime change— so Trump could claim credit. Now 64,000 Palestinians are dead—& only 20 hostages remain.

Joe Biden and Netanyahu were offered Gaza deal a year ago, says negotiator

Gershon Baskin says he got the plan on to the president’s desk but then learnt the Israelis were waiting for a change of administration in Washington

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."
