It's not just ambition on climate action that's being run down, but nature.

Planet Earth is in the fight of its life and, on balance, those of us who are its allies are losing.

It's our duty to work out why, and act on it.

Imagine when around 80% of the island of Ireland looked something like this, with lynx, wild boar, wolves, bears, and so much more. We should be a rainforest nation.

A *massive* part of our heritage has been stolen from us. Let's start bringing some of it back, via #Rewilding.

"The facts are very clearly in front of us. Epstein, as just one example, has been around for decades. Even if there was a president who did not deal directly with his network, there is no president that was not aware of the files on that network & the people who were implicated in those files." #3E

I don't think this will actually happen. But if it does, the UK should simply start subjecting the actions of US-owned social media platforms in this country to British law. Incitement, defamation, intellectual property.
Buckle up - because this now amounts to a direct and deliberate attack on our country and its cultural sovereignty. Which side our politicians take - Trump's or the BBC's - over the coming days and weeks will speak volumes about their patriotism.

Brazil continues to lead the way in taking on rogue power. A Supreme Court panel has moved to put lawmaker Eduardo Bolsonaro on trial for seeking Trump's help to halt criminal proceedings against his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Yesterday, I pleaded not guilty to the charges that Trump’s DOJ has hit me with in federal court.

This administration is targeting me because they can see that I’ve spoken out against them and will continue to stand up to them.

Now that we have proof that Trump was blackmailed by Russia over his predatory behavior with Epstein, isn’t it time to take his failed negotiator role on ending the war in Ukraine away from him?

If you haven’t seen this SiriusXM video in which Megyn Kelly excuses Epstein and others for rape by stating that they weren’t sexually abusing eight-year-olds, only 15-year-olds, save yourself the time.

It’s vile.

Some men want to rape and dissociate themselves from the label. The study in the UK showed men admitted rape when you didn't use the word. If you used the word they denied it. Therefore, it's so important people use the right language
Remember the Gisele Pelicot trial? There was one man who wouldn’t accept being found guilty of rape.

He insisted the label was too much of a burden to bear. He raped an unconscious woman, multiple times, on video.

He appealed, and the court extended his sentence.

Trump reminds me of that guy.
