Gorton and Denton prediction: Reform UK in first, Greens close second, Labour in third. But, it doesn't have to be this way. Greens can win if everyone gets behind them! But we need everyone to get out and vote Green!

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

Ustedes comienzan por una mentira fáctica señores US embassy. El crecimiento de cultivos de coca se presenta en el gobierno de Duque, y con fumigación forzada. Es la política de los EEUU la que ha fallado. Para que disminuyan los cultivo de hoja de coca lo que se necesita no es glifosfato tirado desde avionetas, sino disminución de la demanda por cocaína fundamentalmente en EEUU y Europa
US Embassy Bogota@USEmbassyBogota

.@StateDept: Bajo el desacertado liderazgo de Petro, el cultivo de coca y la producción de cocaína en Colombia han aumentado a niveles históricos. Estados Unidos agradece a las fuerzas del orden y de seguridad colombianas que enfrentan a los narcoterroristas y reconocemos su valentía, capacidades y sacrificios.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality. We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

Our new pre-print (with @EricHagen19, @LatinOrchidBot, @sometimesferns, Elizabeth Forward and @NPriestLab) shows frequent shifts in pollinator evolution in orchids, but no clear impact on diversification. Perhaps pollinator specialisation is not such a powerful force. 🐝🌱

@curibotta Oh wow! What a beautiful hopeful monster you’ve got there! You probably know this already but what you got there is what we call a “pelloric” flower! These pelloric forms are key for us to understand orchid flower evo! Have a look at this cool paper: core.ac.uk/download/pdf/8… 🤓
