YouTube video by Marsh Family "Minnesota" - Marsh Family adaptation of "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)"

We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️

Nobody deserves a Nobel peace prize more than the people of Minnesota and Minneapolis. In freezing, bitter, hideous weather that would wipe out most of us in 10 minutes, they’re still out there, marching their hearts out

Winterwatch - 1963: The Big Freeze Chris Packham introduces a classic documentary from the BBC's archive, which takes a look at the worst winter of the 20th century in 1963.

This extraordinary film leaves iPlayer in the early hours of the morning tonight.

It's worth watching. I must say I can't shake the eerie feeling that I'm looking at an AMOC-collapsed future, not the past...

Annotating the Judge’s Decision in the Case of Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-Year-Old Detained by ICE (Gift Article) Our critic annotates the barbed wordplay of a decision challenging the Trump administration’s theory of executive power.

Here’s a useful reminder of what our federal courts SHOULD be doing to uphold our constitutional traditions:

There's a point, well below a billion dollars, where the amount of money you have lets you rid yourself of anyone who can be a check on your worst impulses, and replace them with people who tell you those worst impulses are somehow valorous. Rare is the billionaire with someone to tell them "no."

That's how it's done 🇫🇷

Can we hurry up and tax all the billionaires so that we can have universal child care and Medicare for all.

"We have a sense of belonging to this land. That does not happen by chance. It happens by design, and it can only happen in a country that promotes integration based on the values of decency, respect and contribution."

Her enthusiasm and knowledge makes the whole concept of Space really interesting for someone like me who has little interest in the subject otherwise.

Medieval women used falconry to subvert gender norms Hawks offered women both real and symbolic means to express gender, power and status within a male-dominated world.

Do tune in to Parliament now if you need a reminder of how little the Tories care about poor children. Looks like there is actually a Reform speaker here too, come to justify plunging kids into poverty to cut the price of beer a bit.

On the broader point made by the PM’s spokesperson here- about govt wanting reform to Lords’ procedures- I’m unclear whether they mean they want to reform the system so titles don’t require legislation to be removed; or whether they think processes for expulsion from House need change; or both

Having a PM who adheres to the letter of the law has never been more appealing than it is today.

What the BBC’s diversity review reveals about modern Britain Representation - how much a group is present - can be captured in data, but portrayal - how groups are depicted - is qualitative and subjective

An insightful thematic review of how to portray modern Britain to ourselves shows how the BBC could rise above the crossfire of culture wars & tokenistic tick-box diversity when trad elites check their privileges more than they share power. My Eastern Eye column

Exactly as Starmer says .. yet one is applauded by the left in U.K. and the other is lambasted ! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Labour have created a £10m financial support package to help families of children and young people with cancer with the costs of travel to and from appointments.

A third of such families already have to travel for more than an hour to reach hospitals for care.

An interesting development. Can’t be replicated in Uk of course because we don’t have a directly-elected president, but it’s time for the centre-right Tories to come off the fence and condemn their Party’s slide towards Faragist policies.

Maybe I'm old fashioned but in my world a manifesto is the vision a party puts before the country, it's literally what they hope to achieve in a term in office. Labour has delivered or has in progres 70 manifesto pledges in under 2 years. Why is the not enough and no whataboutary please.
